[ OrLaNdO ]

As always I feel like such a slacker when I don't update on time. My goal was to actually update daily while out of town (like good bloggers do)....but, I suck at that, I had too many pictures, I was always eating (and am now 10 lbs heavier), and had too much fun to actually think about posting. So here I am, about a week late, but hey, better late than never right? 

Last Thursday I began my journey out to Orlando for my cousin Kaities wedding. Seriously...what was I thinking, flying standby? Anyway, after about 2 days of trying to get out I finally  made to Florida the morning of her wedding.... THANK GOD! The wedding was beautiful, she was a gorgeous bride of course, and it was just a ton of fun. I don't want to get into too much detail about the wedding, I'll let the pics speak for themselves. =)






Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Diaz! =)


The following night after sleeping in...which by the way felt extremely wonderful, we headed to the house to watch the Steelers play......and beat the Cardinals!



That night we figured we'd celebrate and hit the city so we first headed to After Party- a burger place that makes enormous burgers. My goodness, it was the biggest burger I've ever eaten. Came with a side of 5 lb fries...hahaha...
(told ya I ate A LOT)






then headed to the CityWalk at Universal. We ghosted a ton of people (when you follow a random person so close behind em until they notice you..sounds silly but it really is fun and hiiiillarious.), took lots of pictures...

.....and then we found Bob Marleys. A reggae lounge owned by Rita Marley in tribute to her husband. =) The live band there was aaawwweeesome, and the DJ seriously made me feel like I was back in Jamaica. My cousin MaryJane is almost 22 years old and since she's been the legal age of 21, she has NOT ONCE been out to a place like "bobs" so, Melia and I decided we'd take her out....and live life a litte. lol... It was really fun though. It was perfect for MJ because she sings in a band, so being in the audience, for fun.... was enjoyable for her. =)




While in Orlando Melia and I took Pili to Disney World {thanks Aunty Kaitie ;) } and he just loved it. He loved seeing everything in 'real life'. He even got to meet his favorite cartoon characters;
Phineas and Ferb
Secretly I think Melia was more excited than Pili... haha

Afterwards we went to watch Kaitie dance at her show at the Polynesian Resort. As always, she did wonderful and the show was great.

Orlando was awesome. I loved seeing family, catching up with em all and just enjoying the warm weather before returning to Utahs UGGGGLLLY cold weather. =(
I think I want to make Orlando home.....for 3 main reasons:
1.) I love the warm/hot weather
2.) I miss dancing as much as I use to
3.) By dancing, I'll have no choice but to stay in shape and have a nice beach bod.....
so now L.A. or Orlando?!?! hmmmm.... then again, that's just wishful thinking. As crazy as Utah is it's still a hard thing to think about leaving 'home'.
