Where I've Been

Hola senoritas!

Happy Monday :)


How was everyones weekend?

Before I get into my weekend recap, can I get a big Vicky Gunvalson style "Woo-Hoo!"?!?!
 I've reached over 400 followers and feel so blessed to have so many amazing people who want to read my blog!

thank. you. all :)


I knew it was going to be a good weekend when I found out Friday morning from my girlfriend Steph that I won her blog design giveaway!!!! How awesome is that?! Super excited! Thank you Steph xoxo


We spent our 3 day weekend with all of Billy's family at Maumee Bay State Park Resort.
The resort sits on the shore of Lake Erie and they have a ton of family activities you can do here.

Maumee Bay Lodge & Conference Center  (ID:OMB9009)


There were about 20 of us who went on this trip. The girls spent the days at the pool, while the boys went golfing. On Saturday, Billy and I along with Billy's mom, sister, cousin, and aunt decided to go on a Banana Boat ride. I'm sure you all have seen them before...



Picture that...
but with our family on it because I didn't get any pics of us on it. oops.

We expected it to be a somewhat leisurely relaxing ride, until we got on it and realized it was going to be a wild ride. 3 seconds after we got going, we were all drenched and hanging on for dear life. Most of us all fell off at one point, but we were laughing so hard it didn't matter. I even had to get off early because I thought I was going to lose one of  my contacts and then I would be blind the rest of the trip. haha


We all went out to dinner both nights, the first night at the lodge, and the second we went out to eat at Spaghetti Warehouse. I pretty much ate and drank my body weight both days.


The ice cream shop at the lodge considers this only 1-scoop and it's a whopping $1.75. I felt like I hit the JACKPOT! yum yum in my tum.

I'll stop talking and share some pics now..

middle..can you find me?! :)


the end.... I think that's everyone!


Billy's cousin Dave, brother Kevin, cousin Greg!

I love Billy's family. I couldn't ask for better in-laws :) We laugh so hard everytime I'm with them and they are always so much fun to be around.

What's not pictured? Billy's mom and aunts breaking it down late night in our rooms. Take my word for it.....SO FUNNY. I got a great video of it that I promised I wouldn't share haha ;)


Cara, my cousin in-law's girlfriend, also stocked me up with the new Essie fall colors {she gets them half off!} and another red feather in my hair :) so that makes it 2 now...I'm all set for OSU football season!

Here's the new colors I got:



That is an awful picture of them but here are the names.

Left to right: Little Brown Dress, Glamour Purse, Going Incognito, and Carry On. Carry On might be my favorite {especially because of the name}, but I love them all. Fall, hurry the heck up. :)



Alright...must get some stuff done ladies before our ANNIVERSARY trip :)

I won't have any guest posts while I'm gone, but I might have a special one pop up here and there around our actual anniversary day!

xo.
