Mardi Gras, Mountains and Marbles....

..... That pretty much sums up the last month of my life. Haha. Not really, I have been busy but can't really say with what. Who knows. Whenever Mardi Gras was, some friends and I went to a party. I have never "celebrated" Mardi Gras before but I had a fun time wearing masks and bead necklaces! I think I shall start celebrating from here on out...

This is my friend Stephanie and I with our beads!


Stephanie, Rob and I with our masks!!

Okay and then maybe like 3 weeks ago or a month ago I went to the mountains again to be with my family on the weekend that my dear Aunt Ilona had passed away. This year was her 2 year anniversary and I absolutely cannot believe that she has been gone that long. Not a day goes by where I don't think about it but time has just passed so fast since the last time I got to speak to her. It was good being with my family. We rented a big cabin in Gatlinburg! Here are a few pictures!


This is the cabin. It is actually 3 stories but you can't tell from this view. I guess this is a side view. It was so big that I couldn't fit it in my camera and I was standing across the street from it!



The living room.



It came with a movie theater!



This was where I slept. They are queen sized bunk beds, pretty cool! There was also a hot tub on my floor which I took advantage of a lot!


My cousins Eli and Alison


Alison, Josie, Aunt Alida, Eli, my mother and Jordan!


Cute picture of my cousin Jordan!

**Stay tuned for some fun pictures from the wax museum!!!


And lastly I wanted to share about Marbles. The family I work for bought a membership to Marbles and John and I have already been 3 times in the last month. I love Marbles. John is at the perfect age for it and he just has so much fun. AND it definitely will wear him out!

This is my favorite part of the museum... A giant pig that drops balls out of it's tummy! How fun!


And John as the statue of liberty!


I have many more things to post so hopefully I will find some time this week to do so! :)
