Ears, Light Sabers and Wands

We took a little trip last month to our happy place!

If you've been around these parts for any length of time, you'd know that we've been to Disneyland quite a few times. It's our favorite place to go together. We also like to try new things when we go and this trip was no exception (most of which were food related).

Right before we got soaked on Splash Mountain

It was pretty warm and it was super busy one of the days we were there, but we still had a great time! We got to try lemon beignets (which were delicious!) and the Star Wars light saber churros (just different colors. They are flavored the same as regular churros). We also got to see the extended previews for the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie and Cars 3. Our friend S.W. met us there one of the days, and Josh's dad came with us one day as well.

We also went to Universal Studios on our way home. We rode on the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (which did not make us nauseous this time. They replaced the video and took out the 3D aspect. It was SO much better!) and got a Butterbeer to split. We also went to the newly opened Margaritaville at their CityWalk and got Voodoo Donuts on our way out!

These nachos from Margaritaville are an appetizer and they are HUGE! I got them as my meal and Josh helped me eat some, but we still left half a plate when we were through. If you go, you should definitely get them and split them with someone!

Did I mention we got to ride on Pirates too? We were pretty excited since it was closed the last time we were there.

It was a great trip and a much needed getaway for both of us.

Oh Five. Two Oh One Seven

May was another busy, but fun month! 

I did some LuLaRoe pop-ups/events, we celebrated a couple of birthdays, and we took a trip to our happy place!

Early in the month, we spent the day with my sister and her hubby. We went to a really cute teahouse and went wine tasting. It was a really fun day!

I spent some time with my friend E.K. and her kiddos. I sure do love watching her as a mom. We've been friends for 17+ years, and I love being able to witness this chapter in her life. 

Our niece and one of my best friend's daughters graduated preschool! It's so cute to watch them sing their songs and dance. I love their little personalities.

We also went to a lobster/crab feed birthday party for a couple we know. Neither of us had ever had to work that hard for our food before, but it was a fun experience! 

Some other highlights for the month:

We went to a going away get together for one of our old pastors. They are moving out of state, as he got a senior pastor job at another church. It was nice to get together with a lot of the people we used to go to Bible study with a few years ago.

We also went to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean with some friends. I actually enjoyed it a lot more than the last one. 

Stay tuned for a post about our trip to our happy place!
