Holding hands in IKEA & freezing with The Mouse

Friday we went to IKEA… we had to get a few things for the house and such. Me and Ernie went off by ourselves and had some fun picking out stuff we’ll have in our future home. We’ve decided our kitchen will be black, white and red with a few Mickey accessories. We also picked out our duvet and pillows (haha)! It will be tons of fun when we have a home to shop for together :)




That night we checked into the Wilderness Lodge. (Freezing in Florida that weekend, PERFECT weather for this resort!)




The only room available for us was on the 7th floor, which happens to be concierge level. It was amazing. The “Old Faithful” club was a place that every hour or so would be a new selection of foods. So we barely paid for any food when we were at the hotel! I think the best part were the espresso machines that will make anything you want and the flavor syrups you can add to them. I had about 5-6 cups of coffee per day.

We didn’t go out much; we went to Hollywood studios for a few hours on Saturday afternoon.

Ernie's best score yet


Saturday night Ernie and I went to Downtown Disney to check out the Lego store.
And on Sunday, our last day, we went to Magic Kingdom to do a few of our favorites before leaving. We took the boat from our hotel… we were cold.

This whole trip was freezing! We were always wearing at least two layers. It was an “adventure” every time we stepped out of the lobby.
I’m now looking forward to our stay at the Contemporary in February!

Once upon a time...

Well today was Ernie and I’s first anniversary. It was magical.
On the 25th, we counted down the hours and minutes until it was midnight; when we would finally exchange gifts. December 26, 12:00am finally came, and it was time!

I gave him a Silpada bracelet, another mix CD and a book I made (365 reasons why I love you). Plus I baked a cake, I cut it into a heart and it was four layers with coconut and chocolate shavings on top.
He gave me a promise ring which is absolutely beautiful! Seriously, he did really good, I’m quite surprised. I can’t wait for my engagement ring now ;)



He also go me a digital camera, which I'm VERY excited about. I've been using my phone (LG Dare) and it's not that great. The camera is a Samsung SL202. It's great! It even has a feature for fireworks, so now I'm even more excited for Disney!!



This past year has been amazing. I wake up every morning happy, knowing he’s mine. And I’m SO excited that our lives together haven’t even started yet. Something to look forward to when that day finally gets here...

And we'll live happily ever after :)

m-i-c...k-e-y...

One thing you should really know about me: I am completely obsessed with Disney World.
When I was little I'd learn a bunch of Disney facts everyday so I could prove to everybody how big of a fan I was. I also wanted to be a Cast Member for a while. I don't think I'll be able to experience that with the way me & Ernie's relationship is going; but I think it's worth it. :)

We took Ernie for his first time on Feb 23 (2009). Before we even started dating, he told me he'd never been. I knew that I had to take him one day. He loved it, and I'm happy that he now loves it almost as much as I do.


I have so many childhood memories there, I'm glad I can share them with Ernie and see him discovering everything for the first time.
We also watch classic Disney movies together. It's fun, we feel like little kids laughing at Dopey & Grumpy washing up in Snow White or the puppy who is always hungry in 101 Dalmatians.

We've had seasonal passes for the past few years but we're not going to renew this coming year :( It's good in a way, we'll really miss it so when we finally do go back it will be a lot more special.
We have two trips planned for January 8-10 (staying at the Wilderness Lodge, my favorite) and February 5-7 (staying at the Contemporary, our first time!). Ernie's never been to the WL, so it will be nice in the cold weather for him to experience that.

That's all for now, toodleloo!

that's whassup.

Some events going on...



First and foremost, me & Ernie's one year anniversary is coming up on the 26th. I'm so excited!! We have nothing big planned. Just exchanging gifts (which I finally finished putting together) and being with each other.



I can't believe it's been a year already.



And... I'll have my first real job in February... at Victoria's Secret!
I'm so happy I get to work there. When I went to my interview one of the salesgirls took me through the back inventory room to get to Carrie's office. It was AMAZING. Panties, bras and everything PINK were sticking out of cardboard boxes stacked up high to the ceiling. I was like a little kid in a candy store (or just me, at Disney). It's a dream, and February can't get here fast enough.
