Kenneth and I love coasters! I mean we went to Disney World/Universal on our honeymoon, Busch Gardens for my spring break, and now for our summer break we decided to go to Six Flags. I have been to Six Flags before, but that was a long time ago. It was a lot of fun, and a much needed get away, it was just super crowded! Each ride had at least a 45 to an hour long wait, which means you got to ride about 5 to 6 rides in a day. Not like Disney or Universal! We could have paid more for a Fast Pass, but I didn't see the point in wasting 20 dollars on it for just one! Even though we didn't have to pay for parking (thanks to me for finding an awesome hotel within walking distance). It also decided to rain most days around 5 and the day that we were actually at the park, it was hailing and storming and the power actually went out!
We drove down Friday after my shift. Saturday we spent at the theme park. We rode the Georgia Scorcher, Batman, Superman (my favorite), a water ride (Thunder River), Great American Scream Machine (we got air on this ride!). Then on Sunday we did the water park (White Water). Kenneth has been bugging me forever to do a water park with him, so this was a great opportunity for us to do that! We were able to do a few more rides on this one, but we did have to leave early to go visit Mr. Coke, his uncle who is the VP for the coke division in the south. It was nice to visit with his family, I feel bad for forgetting that they lived in ATL but we are planning on going back, so we will stay with them next time! Then on Monday we went to IKEA, got some cinnamon rolls and just toured the place! I got a bamboo serving bowl and spoons, and a cheese grater. We plan on going back at the beginning of next year, when we are trying to furnish our new place. And that was our trip to ATL. Very short, but a good get-a-way.
Kenneth and I want to go back. We will probably do a city pass, now that I've heard about them again (thanks Powers!). There are many things on there now that I'm thinking about it, that I would like to do. The World of Coke sounds good, the Zoo since they have the baby pandas :), and the aquarium, since its the largest in the US. Would all be fun to do. But I'm really not sure when the next time we will be able to do any type of vacation.
Other than that life is unique. Its hard to believe that in a few days.. well 3ish weeks, Kenneth's sister will have been married a year, and we will have lived in this apartment for a year. In about 100 days we will be celebrating our one year, and probably moving out of here. The next 6 months are all going to be about some change, but its going to be an exciting few months.

Summer!!
Summer has officially begun! Well it did about a week ago, and boy is it great!! I'm sleeping in till 8:40. I set my alarm, so I don't sleep the day away. Kenneth gets up and makes me breakfast, he does his P90X and I take a shower (if I have Kroger work early), if I don't I head down to the pool to spend it with my sister and mom. Yesterday we had one of my sisters friends over and her baby. I got to take the baby (3 month old) up to the apartment and let him nap. It was so much fun! One more reason for us to get our schooling in order!
I just got 3 more swim suits for a grand total of $70! So I'm hoping they all fit me when they come in. There are some cute ones! This one from Victoria Secret in both colors and then another one at Target. The one at Target ended up costing me next to nothing thanks to coupons and sales! Originally 17.99, I got it for 4.58, used a 3.00 off, and got it for 1.58!! Now I'm just trying to find bottoms to match, but I do have black bottoms I can always wear, along with white ones, so we shall see! If you go to target, be on the look out for Clover colored swim suit bottoms. I would like the solid, but am not picky at this point. We are going to try super target on our way out of town and also the Memphis one.
We decided to scrap the Biltmore trip and go with a trip to Six Flags instead. So we are visiting the park along with the water park in 2 weeks!
Other than that, I'm just living life and trying to budget. We are officially down to one income for the next few months, and I'm not sure if we can afford it :) I might need to cut back on grocery shopping, which I could do, if we plan our meals by the month, and not by the week. All my Kroger paychecks go into our savings account, for school expenses, baby expenses, car expenses, things of that like.
Other than that I will try to get on here and blog more than I have. I've done really good about blogging with my savings blog, but this one, I just haven't had much to say. Hopefully summer and all the trips will come in with some interesting topics! And for now I'm signing off and studying. To Memphis we go tomorrow!
