Currently// If I Won the Lottery

Wednesday, October 1, 2014

We play the lottery on the regular. Every single week we pick numbers and cross our fingers that our numbers are the ones that roll out on those balls when the fancy lady pushes that button. Side note: Were you ever as fascinated as a child by that lotto machine with the balls floating all around? Because I just might have been.

It has definitely come in up conversation more than once what we would do if we actually won all that money. There are lists of dreams that we would fulfill with all of that money and I am pretty sure we would be quite good at being rich. Let me just give you a taste of what my life would be like if I won the lottery.




Smelling// The salty seas of Hawaii in all its glory with the smell of sunshine and pineapples all around me as I sit on the beach in front of our Hawaii house.

This would be my back porch

Loving// My millions of dollars. My maid. My new car that doesn't have its insides pealing off. Our shore house. Our lake house. My freedom from a job that has been sucking the life out of me. Volunteering with all my free time.

Planning// Out how exactly to build my dream home on no less than 10 acres of land that includes a tire swing for our future children and the washer/ dryer in my two-story walk in closet. Can't forget the oasis that is the backyard. Couches, pool and sauna included.

Just a small taste of my Dream House Pinterest


Baking// All my grandmother's and mom's recipes for fall. I seem to never have the time with my crazy schedule and the fact that work drains me but with all that free time I would be able to bake up a storm.

Celebrating// Being debt free. 150% no obligation to anyone for student loans, car payment, credit cards, mortgage, etc., etc.. Ain't got time for that when you're all kinds of rich. Also, probably celebrating my new boobs because, why not if I'm rich?

What would you do if you won the lottery? The fun and the obvious!

Because I Miss Hawaii

Wednesday, December 11, 2013


As I mentioned the other day, the one thing that happens after your wedding is missing your honeymoon. I think about Hawaii too many times a week. And 6 months ago at this moment I was doing this...

Oh hey, beehive.


And once upon a time I created a honeymoon video (trying to take more videos of us, because I think it's pretty cool). And I never shared it with you, so here we go!



Hope everybody is staying warm and thinking toasty thoughts!

Our Honeymoon in Kauai Last Days

Wednesday, July 31, 2013




As our last few days in Hawaii came to an end, we decided to just explore the town and really relax before we headed back home. We had such a great time we were sad to see it coming to an end.

Oh and I decided to chop all my hair off. No big deal. 

Last picture with long hair!

I have been wanting to cut my hair short for like ever and I am so glad I did it. Hair grows back so one day I might have my long hair back but I'm loving the short sassy hair. And the husband captured it all on camera. I think because he secretly thought I was going to actually cry.



8 inches of hair right there!



Husband loving the hair!

Dinner with Mai Tais



Sunrise

Why was I up at sunrise on my honeymoon you might ask. Well, let's just say I might have had a horrific nightmare about a certain fur baby. I'm talking gruesome and mild panic attack. It was hard to go back to sleep. Is this what it's like to be away from your children?!





One of our drives








We had heard all about this Puka-Dog, before we left for Hawaii and from many locals while we were in Hawaii. So it was a must for us to visit. As you can see, we waited in quite a long line that I had to ask for a cup of water to cool me down before I had a mild heat stroke.

Puka Dog as seen on the Travel Channel!

Last dinner in Hawaii


Followed by a sunset stroll on the beach


Even though it's blurry, I really like this one




Sad face, we are leaving

Happy face to see Lily

Flight delayed 2 hours, airport sushi!

Our honeymoon was absolutely fantastic and once in a lifetime trip. Hawaii was where I wanted to go and it was my dream honeymoon and it was everything I could have asked for.

People might ask why we went to Hawaii if we didn't snorkel or scuba or zip line...which btw we discovered we aren't huge ocean people..and I will just say, Have you been to Hawaii ;)



Our Honeymoon in Kauai Day 5: Sunset Cruise

Friday, July 26, 2013


It seems I skipped our dinner on Day 4's post, so just a quick recap on that. We traveled to DUke's restaurant, since everyone seemed to be talking about it and recommending it.


View during dinner

Pineapple drink!



We did it.

This was the best dessert







Back to our Friday, the best kind. A sunset cruise up the Napali coast. We popped in our Dramomine and headed out to the boat. Unfortunately, the winds were too strong so the boat was unable to go fully along the beautiful coast but we still had a great time.








THESE drinks, a Sneaky Teaky. And they were sneaky alright. Especially when I stepped off the boat later in the night...

It was as good as it looks!



Bliss.



Sunset

Nothing beats a Hawaiian sunset.
