Revenge & Once Upon a Time!

Now, I'm not one who typically latches to television shows as obsessively as I have with these two shows. For whatever reason I am completed enthralled with Revenge and Once Upon a Time. By far, these two shows are so fantastically written and completely different from anything else on television right now.

Once Upon a Time takes the old storybook characters and develops them into new lights in this fantastic show. It follows the main character Emma, as she gets sucked into the lives of ten year old Henry and his crazy mother. The show jumps between fairy tale story and real time to create a suspenseful yet entrancing show. 

Revenge, on the other hand, is the complete opposite type of show. It follows main character Emily as she seeks, yes you guessed it, revenge for wrongdoings against her family. Although that sounds like every television drama, this is show takes it to a new level by creating a character everyone loves to hate. The show quite literally "kills"! ( pun intended-lol) 

Other than marathoning these two shows, I'm still watching Gossip Girl and The Vampire Diaries on repeat, anxiously waiting season 6 and season 4 respectively. 

Keep posted for more posts from me this week, finally came across some free time and some food for thoughts!

-update!

Hello again! I'm sorry I've been MIA for the past week, vacation was a blast and it was a much needed break from the hustle and bustle of my everyday life.


Our vacation started off not so pleasantly on Thursday afternoon when my mom came home to find out that for whatever reason, water was not flowing into our house. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, our house was double struck in the same weekend, lightning on a Saturday and a tree falling on it on Sunday. Needless to say, the combination of those two things have had lasting effects on our home, including but not limited to, the broken water softener led to the broken valve that led to having to replace a few pipes because water would no longer flow through them.

Unfortunately for us, none of that was discovered until this past Tuesday. Thursday we bailed ship and decided that because there was no forseeable end to our water issue, we might as well go on vacation as planned!

We arrived at the lake around 1am EST which is midnight CST! The next morning we hit the lake early, when I say early I'm talking 7am, for some skiing and wake-boarding before the other boats hit the lake. Although it was freezing in comparison to when we went in July, it was amazing to be out on the water and get some more ski time in. Lucky for us, Hurricane Issac gave us a break and skipped that part of the Tennessee valley and blessed us with sunshine.

The next three days were spent skiing, wake-boarding, and swimming in the sunshine. Sunday night was a bit of a rain storm, but after a few days of sunshine, who could complain?!

Monday we explored Mammoth Cave for a bit before heading back home. I was SO excited to be back and more importantly, to be back with my love.


Here are a few outtakes from the trip, what happens when I try to convince my brothers to partake in pictures.
