Spring Break 2009...."off the bomb"

Ok...I realize that I'm not an actual "blogger", I am going to try to do better and post more often. So, we just got back from our fabulous Spring Break vacation. We left last Wednesday and drove to Panama City and took the kids to the beach Thursday morning before we met Brad's parents in Tallahassee. The water was beautiful. We usually go to Destin but I think we have found a new place for our beach vacations..Panama City. Then we drove to Orlando where we spent 2 long fun days at Disney World. Justin and Marli drove down from Georgia and met us there. Friday morning we were up at 6am, ate breakfast and we were off to Magic Kingdom where we spent the entire day..we were there from 9am till 10:30pm. Zak and Tori had a great time, their favorite ride was Splash Mountain and Buzz the Lightyear. The "wishes" firework spectacular was amazing, as always. We had a blast but we were all wore out from the long day. Saturday same routine but not as long...we went to the Animal Kingdom. Zak loved Dinoland and the Dinosaur ride, it was alot of fun. He rode Mt Everest, his first roller coaster and loved every minute of it. I have to admit being a lover of roller coasters, it was SCARY. His exact words were that was "AWESOME COOL", can we do it again?? Tori is not a big fan of roller coasters, she didn't ride Mt Everest but she did ride the Dinosaur ride which was pretty intense for a beginner, I was so proud of her. The Kali rapids was the other ride that we liked and I got soaked, mamaw and papaw rode this one with us and they got pretty wet too....needless to say they weren't too happy about getting WET but it was fun watching them dry out. Zak loved seeing all of the animals, it was fun! We left Animal Kingdom about 4, went to the hotel to rest for a few minutes and then took the kids to play putt putt golf and ate dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. It was so much fun, they loved the rainforest cafe. I was so mad because I forgot the camera and didn't get any pics. We stopped at Goofy's candy shoppe on the way out for dessert...YUMMY. Imagine this--- marshmallows, gingerbread cookie, pretzel sticks or rice crispy treats dipped in milk, dark or white chocolate rolled in any topping you want and drizzled with white chocolate, dark chocolate or caramel. Can you say HEAVEN....it was so good, Tori and I went with the marshmallows and Brad had the rice crispy treat. Zak didn't want anything...he is our little healthy foods freak( I don't know where he gets that from). So after a fun filled day we made it back to the hotel about 11pm and went straight to bed so we could get up and drive home yesterday. On the way home we were asking the kids if they had a good time and Tori said that it was "OFF THE BOMB", we laughed so hard...so that's our new saying, haha!! It took us 12 long hours, we made it home about 7:30pm. My mom and dad had a nice big dinner and a clean house waiting on us, it was so nice. It was wonderful to get away for a few days and enjoy the"MAGIC" of Disney World!

Change..Change..Change

Well, I have been putting off this post but I guess its time to let everyone know.... we will be moving to Starkville, MS in May. FritoLay is opening a new district in Starkville and Brad will be running it. We are excited for the change...but will miss all of the wonderful friends that we have made here. There are pros and cons just like with anything but I prefer to focus on the pros...1.We will be closer to family 2. Not far from our friends here 3. Brad will have less stress and we will see him alot more 4. It is Brad's favorite place on earth...if he could pick anywhere to live it would be Starkville 5. All the money we spend on season tickets won't be wasted b/c we can go to all the games, haha. Brad is excited and ready for a change. I love him so much and I am so proud of him and all that he has accomplished. I don't know what the future holds but I am so glad I have him to share it with. He is my world..my everything and I am so thankful to have him in my life. I love you Bradley Shane!!
