An American in... London?

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies...

I have never traveled outside of the US. So sad but unfortunately so true.

I have made B very aware of my desire to visit France, England, Italy, Spain... my list could go on forever and ever and ever...

Well... we have decided to mark one of these places off of our bucket lists next year and I am so so so excited! It's still quite a long ways off but I'm already anxiously awaiting our first international trip to.... LONDON!

I can't wait to put that first stamp in my passport :)

Awesome Vacay!

The hubs and I had an AWESOME time on our anniversary trip!

We loved the city of Charlotte and everything it had to offer. Great weather, yummy food, incredible shopping, and a wonderful way to celebrate two years of marriage.

We left early Saturday morning...

I love my hubby!

Clearly I was getting a lil' bored on the drive!

The drive actually wasn't too bad...a stop at Chick Fil A for breakfast and 6 hours later we were all checked in and ready to hit the town. I got my UK gear on, so I could cheer on my CATS (I was pretty upset when they lost by 1 point!!...we'll get 'em next year). We grabbed a great dinner at Mac's Speedshop BBQ. It was quite delish! Afterwards we headed to Thomas Street Tavern to grab a couple drinks and watch the game. Fun Fun Fun night!

Sunday morning we started our day by driving around a bit and checked out some of the neighborhoods..I'm in love with Dilworth! So beautiful. We stumbled upon Freedom Park and decided to take a lil' stroll. It was gorgeous outside.

We then headed to SouthPark Mall....ummmm hello?!?! This place is amazing!

After a long day of shopping we grabbed a late dinner at Big Daddy's Burger Bar. I have no idea what they put in their burger but B and I cleaned our plates...and quickly! It was so so so yummy.

On our anniversary , we went and cycled the Little Sugar Creek Greenway. It travels all the way to Uptown. Beautiful scenery along the way.

After grabbing lunch at The Roasting Company we headed to take a lil' walk through the botanical gardens. It was so nice outside...we were blessed to have such great weather while we were there!

For our anniversary dinner we headed Uptown and tried out Frankie's 710. Another great meal :)

B decided he really wanted to check out the Discovery Place, on Tuesday. So we headed that direction and I'm so glad we went. It is aimed at kids but it is such a neat place! So many cool exhibits and hands on experiments.

After our morning of learning we just walked around downtown and soaked in the sun and beautiful view.

Our last dinner was at Rooster's...if anyone is visiting Charlotte you MUST go grab a bite here! It is wonderful! Probably our best meal.

Thanks so much to my blog buddy, Growing Up Blonde, for all of her great recs.

B and I had a blast on our lil' getaway but I must say...it's great being home and being back with our pups!

We're already planning our anniversary trip for next year...another day, another post ;)

Happy Friday ladies!

Getting Excited!

I woke up this morning just feeling blah...you know those days where your body feels exhausted and you have a headache and nothing sounds better than crawling back in bed and snuggling up in those warm sheets?

Well...this morning was one of those mornings!

I took the hubs to work, came home, fixed some toast, fed the pups, put in a load of laundry , and just started feeling really tired again.

I decided that I would "rest" for just "a few minutes" before hopping in the shower and then head off to my Precept class. Well that turned into a couple more hours of sleep...whoops! I hated missing my class but I'm telling you...I woke up feeling like a million bucks. I'm actually kind of thankful that I was able to have a morning to just sleep. This week has not been particularly busy but I have been going to bed late and getting up early the past few mornings.

Late nights + early mornings = tired Hannah

Since my random morning of beauty sleep, I have been keeping busy by doing laundry, running errands, laundry, errands, and more laundry...

I'm really starting to get excited about mine and B's anniversary trip! This week has seemed like it has just been dragging on and on and on...I'm so ready for a vacay with my hubby! Can not wait!

Cheesy...yes!

Corny...absolutely!

But...I love my hubby and I'm just ready for a week off!!

Haha...alright, back to my laundry and to make a few new CD's for our road trip. Then a few hours at work and then...Spring Break begins!

Have a great day y'all :)
