Cabin Fun!
So my family almost always goes up to my parents cabin around the Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend for family reunions. Unfortunately, since Jordan and I work retail it makes it very difficult to attend the entire weekend if we happen to get any days off at all. Luckily, Jordan is awesome and persuaded our scheduler to give us Sunday off and to schedule us an opening shift on Saturday and a closing shift on Monday so that we could get a little bit of time in. I loved being able to spend time with my family and enjoy the outdoors. It was cold, but it didn't really rain that much. And Jordan and I got a few rides on the 4 wheelers. It was so fun to spend time with a couple of my nieces. They are SO adorable. Adalyn is such a smart girl and she had fun telling me "stories." She always started a new sentence with "and one day." The girls also loved playing with the puppies. Well... Quincy liked to stare at them, but didn't like it when they got too close or gave her kisses. lol. But Adalyn couldn't get enough of them. The food was also really good up there. My momma made her amazing strawberry-banana crepes for one of our breakfast meals. I can't describe how DELICIOUS they are. I am SO SO SO VERY grateful for my parents for providing all the necessities and always making it fun to be up there with everyone. :) I Love my family VERY much! I don't know what I would do without them. Overall, it was an awesome day off. :)

California!!!!
So I just have to post about how excited Jordan and I are to be going to Cali again in June for our 2nd anniversary. We are taking his little sisters Jamie and Amberly so it's going to be TWICE as fun! I know what you may be thinking. "Why are you taking them with you on your Anniversary?" Well, to be honest, we wouldn't be able to visit Cali again without them because we are splitting the costs... but that's not the only reason why they are coming with us. We always have fun when we are with them because they are always fun to be around and I can't imagine a better vacation then going to the beach, going to Knotts Berry Farm, and shopping in Hollywood with them there.
Believe me, Jordan and I will get our "us" time in so no worries there. We have been wanting to go on a vacation with his sisters for a while now, but we never had the time or money for all of us. Well, now we do! I am super excited and I know Jordan is pretty stoked as well. Our original plan for our anniversary this year was to go camping and probably go to Yellowstone. Don't get me wrong, it would have been fun, but Yellowstone would be raining and cold (even in June)... we want (and desperately need) some warmth and sunshine. I, personally, am excited for the beach and soaking up the sun while walking on the sand, and playing in the water.
We, unfortunately, can not all afford to go to Disneyland, but it's usually really busy and crowded there and the food is extremely expensive, not to mention the long waits standing in lines all day. So we decided Knotts Berry Farm was in our budgets. Jordan and I went there last year and surprisingly it was actually REALLY fun! The rides are better than Lagoon's, it's not as crowded with people so the lines are not as long, and the food was only mildly expensive, but well worth it. All in all we had a really good time there so we will take his sisters and see how they like the place.
I have been needing a vacation since we got back from Vegas. lol. And I think this will definitely do the trick. Now if only we could make the stay even longer. ha ha. jk. We look forward to going back for our third trip. Hopefully this will be some kind of tradition, right? lol. Probably not, because once we start having kids we won't be able to go on ANY trips for a while... so we gotta get in all the trips we can before we have a baby.
