I Was In Miami B!tch!

Welcome to Monday!
I was thinking I need some catchy Monday line, but I couldn't come up with one because I'm so dang tired from Miami! Yes, Boyfriend and I took a mini vacation to Miami. We went down for a car meet originally but then decided to make a weekend out of it.
Lets start my weekend recap with the beginning of the weekend, Friday night. We did nothing. Well, we took Kylie to my parents. We had to be up early Saturday morning so we called it an early night.
On Saturday, we woke up super early (6am!) and head out and meet Boyfriend’s car group to caravan down to Ft Lauderdale so we could go to a car meet. We ended up caravanning with about 20 different cars down and Boyfriend enjoyed the ride. (I personally was indifferent since I was just the passenger.) But anyways, once we got down there and to the actual place where the meet was, we found out it was $25 for us to eat and hangout. We weren’t really feeling it (granted I was excited to hang out with my only car club friend that I had (she also knows nothing about cars)) and we left about 10 minutes after getting there. We decided to go see some family (since that was the reason we decided to stay down in Miami, his cousin was in from out of town). Well, it ended up the his Aunt (who we were staying with) had a full house but offered a couch for us to stay on, which was fine. So we made it down, and hung out with the family and had a great time. His aunt threw a dinner party (with stone crabs!) which awesome.
Sunday, was a different story. We woke up and went to have breakfast with the family. One of his cousin’s left early to catch a flight back, and we were going to hang out with her brother. Well it ended up that everyone ditched us, his aunt (she got sick), his uncle (had to work, it’s tax season and all), and his other cousin (he got angry at his dad, long silly story). We made the best of it though. Boyfriend took me all around Miami and showed me the sights. We have a good time with each other. We had lunch and headed back to his aunts. When we got there no was there, so we decided to take a nap. Fast forward an hour and half and still no one. At this point, I figured it was best for us to leave. No one realized we were gone for about an hour. I blame this on the family friends. They made us feel so unwelcome this weekend it was crazy. But that does not matter because we made the best of a bad situation.

Your Typical Weekend Recap

So it's Monday.... boo! 
But that means it's time for weekend recap post Valentines style. 
So Friday was Valentine's Day. I was a typical adult and went to work and while there I caught a cold (the joys of working in a super small office). So I came home and canceled Valentine's day (we were going to go out for a nice dinner). Instead we ordered pizza and watched the Dallas Buyer Club (not your Valentine's day movie, but a good movie nonetheless). Made it an early night and went to bed.  Saturday morning Boyfriend had a hair appointment (which took 4 hours!) and I stayed home to try and feel better. When he finally made it home we decided to go get lunch (I promise this story gets better). While at lunch we decided to go look at 80" TVs (why? I'm not sure but I always entertain Boyfriend's thoughts of why it is so important to eventually have an 80" TV).  While there I told him we should look at a vacuum cleaner, which we have desperately needed, due to Princess Smushy (the dog) and her crazy amount of shedding. We had been looking at Dyson's for a while now, but didn't want to pull the trigger on the large price tag. But this weekend, we decided it was time. So our Valentines gift to each other was a vacuum cleaner. (Yes, a cleaning product.) It okay though, because now I want to clean everything and I'm sure Boyfriend is okay with that. We decided to go out on Saturday night for a few drinks with a friend. It was freezing (Florida freezing that is, a whopping 54 degrees) and we are stupid and decided to sit outside. It was fun though, we froze our butts off and listen to some good ol' Irish music. 
Sunday we woke up late (which never happens) and decided to drive and see Boyfriend's dad. I have never seen where Boyfriend grew up so I was excited. He drove me all around and showed me his childhood home, his best friend's house, his school, and basically anything that related to what it was like growing up. He even took me to where he used to work (at the mall) and had lunch there (by the way, I must just be a city girl but this mall had 3 restaurants... 3 places to eat in the food court). It was a fun day to hang out with his family and get to know them. 
The weekend all in all was a good one, however I still have the stupid cold so Monday sucks.
