Flashback Friday

By sunshineandholly on October 14, 2011

That’s me and my sweet little nephew when he was a baby! He just had his 5th bday party a few weeks ago. Time sure does go by fast! (Note to self – make Josh text me the pics from my nephew’s bday party so I can post them. The pics are super cute!) My niece looks like a young lady now…it seems like just yesterday I was holding her in her little newborn UGA onesie…so precious…

Anyway, I love my niece and nephew – they really are the CUTEST kids in the world! I don’t get to see them as much as I’d like to…which is sad since they really don’t live that far away. I’ve gotta make more of an effort to drive up to see them! Plus my sister’s about to have another baby! I’m SO excited. It’s another girl and she’s due early November. Wee!

Italy Itinerary

By sunshineandholly on October 11, 2011

So last week – Josh accepted his new job on Monday, I met with the travel agent at AAA on Wednesday, I paid for our Italy vacation on Thursday and we’re leaving for our 12-day vacation at the end of the month! Things are finally moving…and they’re moving fast! I am SOOOO excited about the trip. We’re going to every city I wanted to visit. The trip is jam-packed and I’m sure we’re going to be exhausted when we get back, but I can’t wait to go!

Here’s our itinerary:
3 nights in Rome at a quaint bed-and-breakfast in the city
–Ancient Rome Walking Tour
-Skip the Line: Prestige Tour – Vatican City

3 nights in Sorrento in a hotel with a sea room view overlooking the ocean

-Full Day Amalfi Drive Tour

-Day trip to Pompeii

4 nights in Florence at a beautiful hotel in the city

-Uffizi Gallery Tour

-Best of Florence Walking Tour Including the Accademia and Duomo

-Tuscany Full Day Drive Tour through San Gimignano,Siena and Chianti (and including a wine tasting!)

-Pisa Half Day Excursion

2 nights in Venice

I’m so excited! I’m sure I’ll have 100,000,000 pictures to share when I get back!

Flashback Fridays

By sunshineandholly on September 30, 2011

So I haven’t been a good blogger lately…

There’s just so much going on right now…and I feel like I’m in a whirlwind…and everything is so out of control in my life…and I just haven’t wanted to write about it! Blah!

So instead, I’ll keep doing these short “fluff” posts. 🙂 I’ve been wanting to join in on the “Flashback Fridays” posts for a while, so here’s my first Friday flashback. (Say that 5 times fast!)

A pic from my JUNIOR year of high school! Crazy right? This was during an orchestra trip to Disney. (Don’t think I ever mentioned here that I played the violin all through middle and high school. And I can STILL play…well…kind of…I’m pretty rusty.) Anyway, it was a super fun trip – I hung out with these lovely ladies! (Can you even recognize which one I am? I’m in the green shirt on the left. Nice sunglasses, right?) And that pretty girl in the yellow next to me, why that’s one of my very best friends STILL to this day. Mrs. Lauren!! (Of course, she was Ms. Lauren back then!)

Look at us now! We’re way hotter than we were back then. 🙂
