Do We Still Call It The Big Apple

My mom and I took our first official girl's trip. It was my first time every visiting "The Big Apple" and I had a list that was wayyyy too unrealistic for our 4 days in the city.

We did pretty well with the help of our dear friend and native, Marcy, who took us to some places I never would have found on my own! LOVE YOU MARCY!

I had such an amazing time! We had the best italian food i've ever eaten, I had lox and bagel for the first time, we went to the Bronx Zoo (!!!), we did Sunday brunch, we wandered around the park, pretended we lived in SOHO, ate cronuts and macaroons, I even hailed a NYC cab by myself!

I can't wait to go back! I knocked a lot off of my list but put probably just as many things on it so... Isn't that how it goes! lol

Shadecation 2018: Catalonia

This month we took a trip to Spain with our dear friends Justin and Rachel.

As I'm going through the squillion photos I took I thought it'd be fun to throw together some of the little videos I (and Keaton) took on the trip.

We spent most of our time in Barcelona and Girona but did a little day trip to Cadaques.

I'd challenge you to show me a better way to spend your birthday ;)

26 or Bust

Well, I've done it.

I've survived 26 trips around our sun.

I feel pretty good about 26. It's a good adult age, you know? Like your later 20's...on the backside of the two-o's.

So to celebrate being a real adult I packed up some good friends and headed to Panama City Beach...like any good adult would.

PCB!!!!

ATL ZOO

Guys... Where has this year gone???

School is crazy (hence my long absence) but I decided to take a break and go through some pictures from my birthday weekend! I just had to share some of these Zoo pictures!

I love the Zoo.

It was a pretty active day at the Zoo! I hate it when you go and none of the animals are out.
Keaton and Brenda know just what I need...cute animals to stare at! ;)

It's getting warmer and I'm loving it! I've been planting and cleaning like a mad women! Maybe I'll share some home stuff soon because my house is looking....pretty sweet.

Have a great week y'all!

Birthday Adventures!

For my birthday with the family I got to choose whatever I wanted for dinner so naturally I chose sushi!

I LOVE SUSHI!!! Instead of going out (pricey $$$) we went to this lovely market and picked up the necessary materials to make an amazing sushi birthday meal! 

Super H had so much exotic stuff and I know I looked like a tourist in there with my camera but it was just so cool!!! My Dad lives in Richardson, TX (Dallas metro) so it's nice to have access to things like that while we're there. I love Lawton so much but there is only one place to get sushi in this whole dang town...

I think we nailed it! We also did tempura shrimp, mushrooms, sweet potato, and oh man oh man was it delicious! I love my family and I especially loved cooking with my Dad and my sister. My family is all scattered so when I get to see them it is very precious.

Life is a gift and I'm very much enjoying it!
