Florida, Days off, and Food!

I need to live a more exiting life. 

Nothing really exiting has been happening lately, at least not enough for me to feel like I should write about it.

Work has been okay.  Next week, I need to travel to Lansing to teach a training class.  All of the restaurants in the area are sending 5-7 Team Members to this training session, to learn how to be trainers in their restaurants.  We are doing a practice run on Tuesday, and the real thing on Wednesday. Lansing is about an hour and a half away from here, and I wish that it was just one day, but I guess I'd rather be at the training thing than be in the restaurant! 

Our vacation to Florida is in just about 3 weeks!I am SO excited. I want to start packing already!  We are making more and more plans, which is making me even more excited.  My friend, who I used to work with when I was in Disney, is getting us into the parks for free!  My mom and sister don't really want to go to Disney for 2 days, but my dad, Cody, and I really do, so free tickets mean my mom and sister can come and go as they please.  We also decided to go on a fishing trip!  We found a company that does large party charter trips, so probably 30-40 people.  The fishing poles, bait, lunch, and beverages are provided.  Any fish you catch, they will clean for you, and you can take it home and have it for dinner!  Hopefully we catch some grouper or something yummy! 

Cody and I had our first two days off together in a LONG time!!!  It was so great to be able to spend some quality time with him.  We had dinner with his brother on Monday, and spent Tuesday shopping.  We got a new comforter for our bed, which I have been wanting for a long time (the other comforter was a cheap one he had when he was single!).  Then we had dinner at our favorite place, a restaurant called Grove.  It has some absolutely amazing food.  I had Blackened Salmon Tacos, a Spicy Kimchi Stew, and Fettuccine Bolognese.  Everything was soo yummy.  They also have some of the best brewed coffee that I've ever had.  I can't wait until we can go back!
