Legoland

Rob and I finally made use of our free teacher passes to Legoland on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We had no idea what to expect but we decided we would just go to see what all the craze is about. When we got inside the park it was nice with all the lego sculptures mixed in with nature. We did not do many of the rides because Rob's arm is still recovering. So we did a few rides but mainly looked at all the different things in the park. The roller coasters looked cool and the rides we did were fairly descent. Rob loved the one where you got to drive a boat. We saw two shows. One was a movie where the Lego people did not speak English which was strange. The other show was a water ski show which was nice. I really enjoyed the Mini Land USA. This was where they picked cities around America and made mint replicas out of Legos. It was a cool site to see. The park was not as packed as we thought it would be considering it was a holiday, we were not complaining though. It was nice to explore the portion of the park that was reserved to honor Cypress Gardens. It reminded me a lot of Bok Towers. When all was said and done we could see why kids would love the park but where we are in our lives we don't think we would pay for a day pass. So thank goodness we have our free passes and then we can wait to go when we have kids.

2012

It is the third Sunday of 2012 and everything seems to be running smoothly. Rob and I started back at school and the days jeep flying by. With the Florida Writing test six weeks away I have volunteered to help tutor about eight students every Saturday for the next six weeks. Rob has been busy with his Special Olympics athletes as they get ready to compete in track and field. This week they are going to an Orlando Magic game for free!I am a little jealous but Rob bought us ickets to go see a game together, he is so sweet.
So tomorrow there is no school because it is MLK Jr. Day! We are going to Legoland for e first time. We are excited because we have heard good things about it. At our home life is going well and we are taking this New Year day by day.
I leave you with a smile:)

The New Year

Happy New Year! I am sad to see 2011 go because it was filled with so many wonderful things! First I had a great internship followed by graduation with my elementary education degree. Then I married my sweet honey followed ny a great honeymoon in St. Lucia. After the honeymoon we got settled into our apartment and new life. Finally I landed a teaching job at the schooled I interned in. I have learned much about teaching and look forward to the second part of the school year. The last part of the year I spent making holiday traditions with my man. It will be hard but I hope 2012 was just as amazing as 2011. Ma your year be filled with joy, love, peace, and laughter!
I leave you with a :)
