The Florida Keys

For a week every year for the past three years I go to the Florida Keys with my boyfriend, Cody, and his family. His whole family is super adventurous and love to be in the water. They are super stars at fishing, spear fishing, lobstering, and scuba diving... its hard to keep up with the Adams boys, but I'm able to do it AND get a nice tan in the process. This year was definitely my favorite trip because I went snorkeling twice and scuba diving twice! (I am not certified in scuba diving yet, but I'm planning on taking the courses this year!) 

Welcome to New York.

 I feel like I fall in love with new places so easily. Every time I step foot into a new city I’m in awe. New York City is an incredible place there are so many things to do and to see and experience I feel like I could go there every year and still find a new place to explore. This was my first time in the city and I wanted to do a lot in a short amount of time. I really just wanted to be a super tourist. I explored New York for a couple of days with my good friend, Laura, who I lived with in Kappa Delta for a year! She now has an apartment in the right in the city and is basically living out her Laura and the City dreams. My boyfriend joined me for the rest of my stay and we tried to conquer the subway system and see the famous landmarks.

Panama City Beach *4th of July*

Another weekend, another road trip! For the fourth of July me and some friends went to Panama City Beach. The beaches are so beautiful up there and everyone is so southern and sweet. We also got a stick which I was so obsessed with I went and bought myself one! 

St. Pete Beach

I've been very lucky this summer because it seems like almost every weekend I've been able to go on a new adventure. I went to St. Pete Beach and a Tampa Bay Rays game (to see the Red Sox of course) with my boyfriend, Cody, and my family. I grew up on the east coast of Florida so I LOVE the west coast beaches they are so much prettier! Cody has been so busy lately with his new job I was thrilled that he was able to spend the weekend with me and my family!

Hard Rock Hotel

There is nothing I love more than celebrating birthdays! Me and my girlfriends celebrated my friend, Amanda's, 21st birthday at the Hard Rock Hotel. We went to an awesome Mexican Restaurant and a karaoke bar the first night and the next day we went and hung out by the pool. It was a much needed girls weekend! 

New England

Every summer for as long as I can remember I have visited New England. My dad grew up in Massachusetts and his whole family still lives up in that area. Growing up I have always been a fan of all the New England teams so I was excited to visit Fenway for the second time! 

This trip was even more special because my cousin graduated from high school! (please notice my dad photo bombing)  

The sign says Nashville, Tennessee!

I finally was able to experience Nashville, Tennessee! Four of my best friends and I packed in a car for a good old fashion road trip. After ten plus hours of driving we made it to the beautiful city. The first night we were there we went to dinner and got drinks on this roof top bar that overlooked the river.  Over the next couple of days we just explored the city and found the famous "I believe in Nashville sign," toured the Grand Ole Opry, and went to a brewery! I'm serious when I say I was obsessed with the city, around every corner there was live music and it was so full of life I can't way to go back there.

21 and FUN!

Last night me and my friends celebrated Virginia's 21st birthday! It made me start thinking about my 21st birthday and all of my other friends 21st. Above are pictures of my 21st birthday and some of my friends birthday signs. For everyones 21st birthdays we make a banner and hang it in front of our sorority house, put together a basket full of gifts and of course we make them a sign. We try to make everyones 21st birthdays really special and meaningful. My sign was a Tiffany and Co box, and my banner was a Starbucks cup these are two of my favorite things!

Whelp... I graduated...

 WHELP I DID IT. You can finish. I graduated from UCF. Thank God I'm coming back in the fall for graduate school because I'm not ready to leave college yet!!

 Special shout of to this hunk for graduating the day before me! It was amazing watching you walk across that stage. I am so unbelievably in love with you and so proud of you!
