Best Trip of My Life

I've only been on a few trips in my short life and I only remember two of them quite well. It's definitely a toss up between the two. They were so different, you can't compare them. 

The first one was our honeymoon. We left the night of our wedding to catch a flight to Florida! We took a cruise from Tampa to Cozumel, Mexico; Rotan, Honduras; Belize and Grand Cayman. We had a blast! Just the two of us in the Caribbean, being adventurous and wild! We went snorkeling in Cozumel and got super drunk before. It sure made for an interesting but unforgettable time. In Belize, we went kayaking. We tell everyone that before they get married they should go kayaking together, now. It was fun but required more teamwork than newly weds could handle. In Honduras, we had a beach day! It was so nice hanging on the beach sipping mojitos and local brews. In Grand Cayman we went to the turtle farm and held sea turtles then went swimming with the dolphins. 

Our second trip is one we took as a family last year. It was C, E and I. My mom, dad, sister, brother and "sis-in-law" joined us. It was so fun having everyone there and we loved vacationing with E(11 months at the time). We took another cruise from Miami, FL to the Bahamas, Grand Turk, St. Thomas, and Puerto Rico. In the Bahamas we did a beach day. The beach was absolutely beautiful and perfect for E to play and swim on. We did this in Grand Turk as well but their beach had a lot of coral so we swam in the pool next to the ocean. St. Thomas was gorgeous. Probably the most of the places I've been. We did a shopping tour with an hour at the beach. In Puerto Rico, we visited the rainforest and learned a lot about the culture. 

What is in my bag...

With having two little ones and a big ol diaper bag to tote around all their things, it is essential to keep it light. I have a simple little coach over the shoulder bag. Similar to this one, but mine is a brown color. 

I love it. I just toss it over my shoulder and I am good to go. It's big enough for my wallet, phone and keys. I also keep a pen and some Victoria Secret lip gloss in there but that's about it. I keep everything else in the diaper bag! 

5 Current Goals

1- Pay off all our debt (except house). We want to move in the next 5 years and this is the first step to getting there. 

2- Lose 20lbs by the end of the year. I've lost all but 5lbs of my baby weight... But ideally I would like to lose 20. 

3- Be a better mother. Do more crafts and fun activities. Learn to be more patient on those days that E is making sure I can handle her teenage years. 

4- Start school. This will help me better my career and wallet. 

5- Spend as much time as possible as a family. 

5 Favorite Songs

You know, I love music but I'm not one of those people who remember the name and singer to every song they like. So this post is hard for me! 

1- God Gave Me You by Blake Shelton 

This was the song that was playing when my oldest was born. 

2- I loved her first by Heartland 

The song that my daddy and I danced to at my wedding. 

3- I Can Love You Like That by John Michael Montgomery 

The song C and I danced to at our wedding. 

4- 19, You and Me by Dan and Shay 

Just a newer song that I like. 

5- Making Memories of Us by Keith Urban 

Song that reminds me of the little family C and I created. 

I do listen to more than country, it's just my favorite. I really like any type of music. 

My Biggest Fear

You know, I never used to be afraid of much. I was a rowdy teenager with not a care in the world. I would smoke and drink and drive and do all kinds of things bad for myself and others. I'm not sure what changed for me but something definitely did. I suddenly started caring... About myself, the people around me, about karma. I have horrible car anxiety. It's unexplainable really, because I haven't been in any accidents or lost anyone from a horrible car accident. I like to be the driver because then I know I'm in control. I get very anxious if anyone else is driving, I despise the winter weather and I refuse to drive in the mountains. I'm not sure what it is or what happened, but that is what I've turned into. 

I think a lot of it has to do with my fear of losing someone I love. My parents, brother, sister, husband or (god-forbid) my children. I've seen people go through the heart ache of losing someone close to them. I've yet to have to experience it... And I never want to. Although realistically I will eventually. I wouldn't be able to live without my babies or husband. What will I do without my mom? I haven't had the time I need with my father, yet. And no one expects their siblings to pass away until you are old and wrinkly together. I'm a strong person and I'm often everyone's go-to. But if I were to lose someone close to me, how could I cope and be strong for everyone involved? So this is my biggest fear, one I know I'll have to face one day. I pray everyday it isn't anytime soon. 

My Proudest Moment

It's so hard to choose just one, especially when I am so blessed. I have a wonderful husband of almost 3 years, two beautiful girls and I'm working towards my dream job. I am definitely proudest of those things in life.
