The Annual Pie Festival in Celebration

So Wes and I have found our Favorite Spot In Florida. It is none other than Celebration Florida. It's 10 minutes down the road and right under our nose but we didn't discover it until a few months ago. How do I describe it? Picture perfect, front porch houses, flowers, trails, restaurants, Starbucks (of course!), electric cars, horse drawn carriages, hand fed squirrels, turtles, and tons of wildlife. We trek down there several times a week whether it's for dinner, a long bike ride or ice cream (my favorite is cake batter from Kilwins) and a rock in the rocking chairs lining one of the lakes. It's breathtaking!

This weekend happened to be the Annual Pie Festival in Celebration and wow..what a sight! It was a pretty big ta-dah. A PIE BUFFET where you can taste all kinds of pies! Here are some pics from our day!

Bits from My Weekend

Ok, so I'm starting to do a post each week called Bits from My Weekend. Got the idea from a friend, Michelle Arnold (http://www.mysixinthecity.blogspot.com/) who has an awesome blog and check her blog out to do this as well! So, I'm a bit late doing the first one..but better late than never right? Next week, I'll be on time.

So, here are some pics from my weekend!

A delicious avocado, gorgonzola, cucumber, tomatoe and ginger lettuce wrap on such a gorgeous day!!Went for a 3 mile run.....wishing it was a bit warmer to jump in the pool.

We grilled out hotdogs to enjoy the sunny afternoon...don't tell anyone that I like Nathan's Hotdogs!
Kayaking the 1000 Islands in Cocoa Beach, Florida...our new found love!

Our spontaneous and awesome friend, Trina came with us!! She is always up for something last minute! Short post...but looking forward to the next one! Florida definitly has its perks.....

New Shoes....

So, I've never been a runner....I always said I wasn't made to be a runner. So instead I participated in VHS workout videos at home(when I was young), or once I finally made it on my own, I went to the YMCA and did Kickboxing, Pilates and Zumba 5 times a week. I found that I love those classes and it kept me fit! Well now after our temporary (going on 9 months...wow!) move to Florida, we live in touristville where there are no gyms....uh hum....how am I supposed to stay fit?? So, I have decided to become a runner.......the weather is nice so I have no excuse and I love enjoying the outside..so it's perfect. Well, I've changed...and I researched every tennis shoe out there to find the perfect running shoe for my feet! I quickly realized most running shoes that are perfect for your feet are NOT pretty, but I managed to find one pair that I liked! They have pink in them...love it! I ordered them online in hopes that the reviews I read were right. I got them, tried them on, jumped around, ran around the kitchen...and smiled. I'm very excited about this new journey I'm on! I worked myself up to running a 5K a couple weeks ago...and who knows what's next. I must say, there is something in me that is really proud of myself. Kind of a feeling that I showed myself that I could do what I thought I wasn't made to do. Don't get me wrong, I'll take the gym back any day....but this will do for now. Who knows what you can overcome when you put your heart to it!!!

Weekend with the fam!

A couple weekends ago Wes and I met up with my sister, her fam, my dad and his wife and her fam in Evans, GA. It was a blast! I haven't seen them all since Christmas so it was a nice reunion. I sure do miss my two little nieces...they are just the cutest things! I only got a few pics, but they are good ones! Sadly I ended up with no pics of my dad and Pat..ahh...next time!

Wes's fishing passion

Wes's newest passion is fishing....saltwater and freshwater, which is why he took all his personal money for the last couple months and went all out on fish stuff! I'm so proud of him..he's really learned what he has to do to catch certain fish. And he's just the cutest thing ever! We drive quite a bit for work, and almost everyday we will find a little fishing hole and fish for a while..still waiting to catch the big shark though! This is a fun new sport we get to enjoy together!

Date night @ Universal's City Walk

Date night at Universal's City Walk. Ok, this is a beautiful area! Tons of restaurants, a Starbucks, and ferry rides to the close resorts! Well after dinner we decide to take a ferry ride to check out one of the Universal Hotels. Let's just say, we were more than floored...it was just amazing! And I definitly wanted to take home that chair!

We've been married 2 years!!

So Wes and I celebrated our 2nd Year anniversary on Oct. 13th!! Woohoo...only 80 more to go! (because I plan on living until I'm 110). We celebrated by enjoying our newfound love...Kayaking!

Who knew? We first went kayak fishing on Wes's birthday and after that we have been dying to go again (I can't tell you how many times Wes says..."We just need to buy a couple kayaks"...we will see...

I caught some kind of fish, and Wes caught a Snook(which is in the pic above)..which was just what he was wanting!!! We had a blast, even in the hot of the day!
