Happy new year

What a great year 2011 was; I got my dream job teaching first grade with some amazing coworkers, married my prince (well I am still at Disney), had a great year with 31 and am almost a director, realized even more so how great my family is and the extended family (Todd crew) is equally as great, and the list can go on and on with friends and adventures Cody and I have been blessed with. Since they say whatever you do at midnight is how your year will be, I guess we will have another magical year...praying we become new home owners and that we can pay our blessings forward!! See you next year friends!!

Harry potter

Yesterday Cody and I went to Islands of Adventure at universal because we both wanted to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It was so cool! We got to try butter beer and go through Hogsmeade as well as tour Hogarts. Most of the pictures are on my camera but here are a few off my phone.

Chef Mickey's

Cody and I enjoyed Chef Mickeys for lunch yesterday. It's a buffet breakfast but it includes Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, and Donald Duck coming to your table. We had a lot of fun! Cody said it was a sophisticated petting zoo haha

Now we are off to Universal for the day :)

Epcot

Today was an adventure in Epcot. We went all the way around the world :)

On my phone are mostly pictures of us close up.

Disney honeymoon

We are loving Disney! This is my 7th trip and Cody's 2nd. We are having a blast using our childhood memories/favorite places and making them ours. Today was our first full day and we tackled Animal Kingdom first and then Hollywood Studios. Most of my pictures are on my camera. Cody has been using his phone for pictures but I have a few to share from my cell.

I don't know how these attach from cell but somewhere in the pictures is the swans kissing that we walked into when we got back to our room that also had a signed card from Mickey an Minnie.

Honeymoon

We got to Florida safely and started off our vacation at downtown Disney! We designed a tee to wear on our trip that is too funny and got these hats!

Christmas Eve

We open presents on Christmas eve. Here are a few shots from the fun with the Findlays :)

Our first Christmas eve together-ever...we always celebrated together Christmas day when we were in High school (when both of our families lived at the beach) and college had me in Columbia/Cody at the beach with sometimes him making the trip here (we always celebrated at the beach with his family before)..then post college Cody came to Columbia Christmas day..great way to start our married life together for it all :)

Mom is loving pinterest :)

 I got an iPhone case from my favorite husband

Let me give a background: Cody has always picked on me for monogramming everything. He said I would probably even try to monogram his underwear when we were married. Well guess what...

He wasn't actually wearing these..

Merry Christmas!

Take a few minutes to remember the reason we celebrate!
