On last minute trips?

I am going on cruise this weekend! I leave on Thursday! Yay! Also…I have never been on a cruise and I have that whole ridiculously irrational fear of open water and anything that swims in it…even manatees(yes I have a problem) but that is ok I am still going to make the very best of it!

We are going on Carnival Paradise

It stops in Cozumel which should be fun! I have been there for Spring Break but it has been many years. I have no idea what to pack! I am actually a very good carry on packer but I am trying to figure out what one wears on a cruise ship?? 
Have you been on a cruise? Do you have any tips on what to pack?? 

On sweet nights w/the boyfriend

Ok so that title is kind of long right? That is ok! I have had a lot of fun nights with my boo this summer! We are at almost a year now and I can’t but think how quickly time flies! If you had asked me last year if I thought I’d be as happy with someone as I am right now I couldn’t have even imagined it. Luckily I found an awesome guy and since a lot of the pics don’t really warrant a whole post I thought I would just share some of my favorites!

Sometimes we hang out on rooftops…
We take walks to see fireworks….

and act all romantic like when we watch them…

 Sometimes he comes to weddings that I am standing up in….

 And smiles for me anyway…

 Or tries to eat my face…

 Sometimes we act like tourists on random Wednesday nights…

 Sometimes I get kisses while waiting in line for rollercoasters…

This post is super cheesy but I couldn’t help myself!

On Bar Crawls w/mustaches!

My friend Toni convinced me we should try out the Mustache Crawl this year and I am not really one to turn down a day of drinking with friends! I don’t know if you guys are familiar with Eventbrite but I am starting to love them! I love being able to just have my ticket on my phone with their app without having to print things up and bring them with me.

It was a HOT hot day…sweating our asses off the entire time but still having a great time. We started out at John Barleycorn in Wrigley and had their breakfast and picked up our shirts & coupons. We went in the bathroom and cut up our shirts (Because why not?) and got started!

 The downside was waiting outside in the heat for the next bar! 

I was down for the count by 5 which worked out since it started pouring!! I didn’t manage to do another thing that day besides nurse a hangover that started at 10 pm.

I’ll just leave you with this video to start your weekend!
