Orange Beach, AL


I'm baaaaccckkk!!! okay so I've been back since Tuesday but I've been oh so busy doing absolutely nothing ;) I decided it was finally time to update about my trip because I know you 3 followers have just been DYING to read it haha yeah right!

We drove to Louisiana on Wednesday afternoon and stayed the night at Randy's parent's house. On the way in we stopped at this delicious little drive through daiquiri place. I got a tornado with an extra shot (a tornado is a hurricane mixed with a boom boom pow! haha I love the names). We ordered pizza and went to sleep early because we were leaving at 5:00 AM. CRAZY PEOPLE. I barely slept because I was so scared- I slept in the room all by myself and I kept hearing noises and then the computer randomly came on BY ITSELF at like 3:00 AM so obviously I couldn't sleep after that.

The drive there was about 6 hours and as soon as we got to the condo we got changed and headed to the beach.... with a cooler of beer or course! I met everyone for the second time- it's weird because even though I don't remember his aunts/uncles/grandparents, they knew me when I was little... there was a lot of "oh I haven't seen you since you were this big (insert hand sticking out to waist high)". Everyone was beyond nice and treated me as a part of the family. In fact, when we were leaving one of Randy's aunts said "I'm so glad you're a part of the family now" with a wink. That makes me grin ear to ear!! His grandparents also told Randy they could tell how special I was to him.... it makes me so happy to know other people can see the love between us. We know its there but I think it is the biggest compliment for others to see it as well :)
Another really fun part about the trip is Randy's family is BIG which means lots of little ones and cousins! I think kids always makes the beach more fun because they are always so excited. Randy has two nephews named Brayden who is 7 and Carter who is 5. They are A MESS and ALL BOY let me tell you! Randy is so sweet with them- he is SUCH a great uncle. There's nothing more attractive to me than a man who is great with kids ;)
We went to the beach most every day... it rained one day which really sucked but we went to the outlet mall so it wasn't too terrible ;) Overall it was such a great trip and I'm so glad everyone was nice! I can't wait for next year's vacay. He BETTER be able to come with my family next year too~!!
