Dallas, Texas Trip 2018

Hey there!

Earlier this week I promised a Dallas blog post and I am here to fulfill that promise 🙂

So this Dallas trip was meant to be a short, weekend trip. It was my birthday last Wednesday and we decided to leave on Thursday after I got off of work. One thing I will never do again is wait last minute to pack… I literally came home at 3pm and we wanted to leave at 5 so that left me 2 hours to pack everything I needed and also take a quick shower. It was lots of pressure to get out of the house by 5, but we did it and had to go grab some food and go to Walmart because we forgot something. So we actually ended up leaving around 6 lol. For a second I was annoyed because that means we have to drive until like 3-4am, but I got over it because after all IT IS a weekend trip 🙂

We had lots of fun on the drive, lots of good music, some good snacks, and just the open road. Honestly, I feel like there really is no better feeling in life than taking a trip, driving out on the open road, blasting your favorite music, and forgetting about all of your worries.

We arrived at our Airbnb around 3-4am, I was a little scared of walking around so late at night in a new city, but it actually ended up being perfectly fine and safe. Our garage was right next to the Airbnb so we checked in with security. As soon as we got into our room, we knocked out. Woke up the next morning ready to explore. We swam a lot on the rooftop pool, ate lots of BBQ, and explored what the city had to offer. I didn’t take lots of pictures, but I took some and they are good memories to me.

 

It was a very fun trip and for the first time in my life, I heard Mirhad say “that was fun, we should do it again, I’m excited for the next trip!” Literally have never heard him say that, so I was so excited to hear it and that means many more weekend trips to come 🙂 and also going back to Dallas because we had so much fun and it’s not that far!

His birthday is coming up so I am trying to figure out a cool city to visit, we want to take a train this time so it can literally be anywhere. Maybe Houston? He was saying he would like to visit Houston, but we’ll see. I think I’ll take off that Wed-Fri so that gives us some more time to enjoy his birthday week/weekend 🙂

Anyways, I recommend visiting Dallas if you haven’t already. It’s seriously a beautiful city, I mean all of Texas that we saw was super nice. Also – Southern Hospatality is so real, this is the first time I’ve experienced it and PEOPLE ARE SO NICE HERE! It’s so different compared to St. Louis and the people are so different and much nicer lol.

Go visit Dallas!!!! You won’t regret it.

Hello!

Happy New Year! 🎉🎉

Wow, it is 2018.. felt so weird dating that in my title. 2018 is a special year because 4 years ago in 2014 I graduated high school and started college that fall. 2018 has always been that year I look forward to because it meant that I would be graduating college! Which means all of my hard work has paid off and I am about to enter the real world 🙂 

Thinking about the fact that in about 5 months I will be walking across that stage and leaving as a college graduate is scary but exciting at the same time. My life starts after that day… my real life. Sure high school and college were fun, but this is where the real fun is. My life will begin as a wife and a full-time employee! I am excited to start this new chapter in my life and I will definitely miss college and all of its little perks.

Honestly, even though I didn’t live on campus or wasn’t really involved in much at school, I had fun going to school with my best friend and my friends from high school. First two years of college were the best. Mirhad lived on campus and I got to visit him literally whenever I wanted. I use to go straight from school to Mirhads and then back if I had a night class. I remember once I was late to my first day of night class because I was hanging out with Mirhad and didn’t realize traffic was so bad between our schools 😂😂 but yeah, first two years were so fun. Junior year I don’t remember much of as of right now. Senior year has probably been the best.. Mirhad went to school with me almost every single day (we would alternate with his classes and he would come to my school and vice versa). Entering my last semester of college, I have to say that I’m grateful that it’s almost over LOL. I’m just ready. I just want to start my life outside of school and with Mirhad of course finally 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 

So last night was New Years! We partied in Mirhads basement with Sanela, Elma, Vildana, and Adem (Elma’s cousin). It was really fun, we danced, sang, drank some stuff, and ate some good food. It was a good time. I have a lot of funny videos so those will be some good memories to hold on to! We all pretty much knocked out around 2 am. Mirhad didn’t feel well (he’s been sick the last couple of days) and as soon as it hit 12, he was basically asleep on the floor. We were calling people to pick up the others so they don’t drink home, but Adem refused and drove off in his car as soon as Vildana and Elma got into Dzevad’s car hahaha. It was funny. I found Mirhad in his room cuddled up into his blankets sleeping, so I left him to sleep while me and Sanela cleaned up the mess in the basement. Didn’t take us long and after that she left. I put on my onesie and cuddled up next to Mirhad to help him feel a little bit better. It was -4 last night so it was soooo cold. We had 3 blankets on us and it was cold half of the time 😐😐

So yeah we woke up around 12 pm, went to go return some stuff to Walmart and bought some chinese food from the mall. It’s literally the best there 😋. After that we took a little nap – it’s that type of weather where it’s so cold you’d rather be inside in bed sleeping or just huddled up trying to stay warm, hasn’t gone above 6 degrees today 😦 After that my mom wanted to go out to dinner with Sanela’s parents and asked if Mirhad and I wanted to go. Which led to the decision of everyone going – so literally it was my parents, Sanela’s parents, Mirhad, me, Sanela, Ermin, Emma, Anel, and Dzenana (Ermin’s girlfriend). We wanted to go to Syberg’s, but when we got up there they said the wait was an hour and everyone was too hungry to wait.  So we ended up eating at the casinos restaurant. It was delicious and they had big portions so it was nice! 

Now I’m just in bed writing this. Mirhad asked to come by with a surprise snack (donuts), but he went up to Krispy Kreme and it was closed?!!? 😦 Oh well, maybe another time. At least he thought of me ❤ I think I am going to start reading one of my books tonight that I ordered from Amazon. And maybe finish that Black Mirror episode we started yesterday. 

Tomorrow I’m going to sit down and write all of my goals for 2018 – probably for the first 6 months. I’m excited and ready to do this!!! 2018 let’s goooooo! 😀 

Good night! 🌙
