November, November, November! This month was not as eventful as last month or should I say I just stayed local this whole month. Kahlin (@4everfabulous) & I decided that since last month we took a bunch of trips, November would be our "fall in love with Orlando all over again month" because December and January were taking two trips. This month was a re-connect month for me. People I haven't seen in months I was able to spend time with and also spend time with people I talk to frequently but haven't had the time to spend some QT with.
This month started out on a happy/sad note. My broseph CP (@_prodini) left Orlando this month to move back home to Atlanta to take care of his momma. We decided to meet up for dinner at Brio for dinner. I wish I would have had more time to see him before he left but my schedule just didn't allow it. I'll be seeing you in the A shawty (CP voice)
This picture pretty much is CP in a nut shell. He's just one big goofball with the most southern charm you'll ever find in a person. His vocabulary is one of a kind. He really should have his own dictionary.
Birthdays!!! This month didn't have as many birthdays as last month did. Luch's (@_imotorboat) birthday was this month! Birthday kisses for you! He had a birthday dinner that I wasn't able to attend so I had to make sure I made it out to Lux where he was celebrating it. Kahlin (@4everfabulous) was my partner in crime that night. I made my rounds and said hi to my boys TB & PB before I left & headed downtown for a random night.
We were originally supposed to meet up with some of my friends and last minute plans changed. We ended up meeting up with her friends who were bar hoping that night. Of course it was freezing out of no where that night and we both had on skirts. One of her friends gave us his jacket and we literally walked around downtown from bar to bar in his jacket. Two girls in one jacket makes for a night full of laughs.
Im not much a a bar hoper. Who am I kidding, I'm not much of a going out person, but I figured eh, why not. I was out of my comfort zone and it felt great. I wouldn't go and bar hop frequently, but I can say I did it and had a great time that night.
Random days. I've been wanting to go back to the Hard Rock for a few weeks now so Kahlin (@4everfabulous) and I decided we were going to go and just relax for a little bit. I seriously could live by the pool there. My little cabana people and the sun is all I need. We seriously were only there for 2 hours and had to leave because her brother was selling a pig that night at the fair and I wanted to see what that was all about.
I decided to take my little sisters with me to the fair to see this "live stock auction" that Kahlin's (@4everfabulous) little brother was in. I've never heard of it before. I just thought people bought farm animals from .... actually I don't know what I thought. Shoot I just go to Publix and pick up the food from the meat department. I never really sat and thought about the process before the meat gets to the grocer.
When we first got there I told my little sisters they could play a few games and that was it because we weren't there for the fair ... that we were there for the auction. 10 minutes after saying that and $80 later they had unlimited wrist bands, food, drinks, candy etc. smh I cave in too easily with them.
After all the rides and junk food it was time for the live stock auction. Ummmm, wow! It was an experience I will never forget. Kahlin and I stuck out like sore thumbs. It was fun though. I've never been to an auction period so now I can cross that off my bucket list. The funny part about the whole situation is that Kahlin ended up winning her little brother's pig he was selling there. Well, she didn't win it for herself ... it was for her ex boyfriends parents; don't ask. $800+ later we were the owners of this huge pig.
Another birthday! My middle little sister Isabella turned 7! I cried. I can remember when she first came home from the hospital and now she's this little person with a personality and opinions of her own. She wanted to go to Kobe's for her birthday dinner. hi5! great choice! I guess they got rid of the cakes they use to do for birthdays and now they give cupcakes; recession.
Both of my little sisters didn't see it coming. Family tradition to get cake, or in this case cupcake in the face.
The Next day is when we had her birthday party. We rented out this place where they had arcade games, a bouncy house & a bouncy house with slide. The kids had a good time which is all that matters. She cleaned up pretty well in gifts too!
I invited my friend Shannon (@shannon__nicole) because she has a little girl and it had been awhile since I got to see her. I love this little girl!!!
The girls; Kahlin Heather & I decided out of no where we wanted to go to the golf tournament that Disney was having. We get there and they tell us no phones, cameras or bags that are bigger then the size of a fanny pack (don't ask me why fanny pack came to mind. It just did. roll with it) We decided we would put everything up but not our phones. I mean who can go all day with out a cell phone?! We hid our phones in our bras and bing bang boom we got away with it. Of course we were all too scared to break them out while we were there, so it was kind of pointless to even bring them.
It wasn't until we were leaving, when I decided I was going to get a picture while I was there. Thug Life!
After we left the tournament we went over to one of the Disney hotels where my friend Joe aka Team Joe (@TheTeamJoe) was working. We said our hellos and walked around that hotel for a little while. That was the first time I've ever been to that hotel. It was cute!
*throws confetti in the air* stand and cheerrrrrrrrr ladies and gentlemen because my friend, my little CB, my BFF is a published author! I was one of the first people he told when he was selected to be published and I was the first person to get his book. I even got my book before he got his. smh tighten up CB. It's a great book actually. Its a collection of short entries from a bunch of authors. you can purchase it here 
Kahlin her sister and I decided we wanted to go to Disney. (shouts to TJ) We made it to 3 of the 4 parks that day. I love Disney. It never gets old to me. Every time I go it feels like its been years since the last time I was there, even its if only been a few weeks.
Nerd section! Harry Potter! When the first and second movie came out I wasn't the least bit interested in all the hype. Yeah, well remember the ex, Candido? Yeah, He's the one who got me hooked on them. I went and got all the movies that were released and we watched 2 each night until the new one came out. Oh Em Gee! It was amazing! If you haven't seen it yet I recommend it. There were a few parts in there that were scary and even a little gory so I wouldn't take a young child to see it. Just my opinion. Now I'm hype, because there's one more left before all the movies are released. I can't wait.
Last year my family alone decided we were going to donate food to our church to feed the members who financially could not afford a Thanksgiving. It was such a success we decided to do it again this year. Last year we had 200 people. This year we had 325. What made this year special to me was I had my friends Beatrice, Kahlin and her sister volunteer. Ya'll have no idea how that maked me feel to be able to share volunteering which I am passionate about with my friends. The dinner was a success and the people were SO greatful!
Turkey Day!!! I was going through my pictures and I can't believe I pnly have TWO pictures from that day. Me, the picture queen didn't take pictures that day. Then I remembered I ate, took a nap and ate again. My family; the whole family, all 40 of us, got together at my aunts house. It was nice to see everyone together. I can honestly say that I am fortunate to have such a large and loving family. Since my parents are re married I get to have two Thanksgivings every year. After my aunts my brother and I headed over to my dads for Thanksgiving dinner. I promise you I ate like a girl that was about to be sent off to fat camp the next day.
Thanksgiving means everyone comes home from school for the Holidays! My friend Ky (@FLABOI2) came home from Michigan where he went to school and now currently still lives there due to his USA Olympic opportunity he was offered. Ky grew up in the Del with me so that's how I know him. I love when he comes home because I get my dose of 3rd area Deltona when he's here which means all the guys get together...but only when he's back in town. So not only do I get to see him but I get to see the rest of the group. Shouts to you Ky for doing your thing!
November was simple and yet very meaningful for me. Thank you to everyone who made memories with me this month. I look forward to next month filled with my birthday, trips, Christmas and New years!
Stay Positive.
Stay True.
Stay Blessed.
