and then I threw up in front of about 50 people

Goooood morning love muffins and happy Wednesday!!
If you read my post on Monday then you would know me and Matthew were going on a little road trip and if you are a cool kid and you are following me on Instagram then you already know where we went!
Santa Claus, Indiana....know where we went yet?
Muahahahahahaha....
HOLIDAY WORLD!
Matthew has the best ideas y'all.
We left his house around 6 a.m. and stopped at McDonalds for breakfast on the go 
(saved $6 with coupons...HOLLA)
and then started the three and a half hour drive up to Indiana!
The car rides are always one of my favorite parts in our Matthew and Shelby adventures, we laughed, sang danced and talked...love.
We got there and there were hardly any cars there but a bunch of school buses...you know what that means
middle school field trip to Holiday World.
It wasn't that bad though, we never waited longer than 5 minutes for any of the rides and at a theme park that is A W E S O M E.
As soon as we were in the park we were like 5 year old kids and were running around to all the rides trying to decide on which one to ride first. 

We decided on the Raven roller coaster first. It was pretty good but kinda small, it is a wooden roller coaster so it's pretty rough. 
Then we rode The Legend roller coaster, it was bigger and better but still a wooden roller coaster.
We did some small things after that like the swings, we were kids for the day haha.



and then we rode this ride called The Revolution. 
It's where you stand up and have one strap going over your legs, and it spins so fast and tilts but you don't move...well after that I felt pretty sick to my stomach and so we sat down for a few mins to calm my stomach down.
After a few mins I felt better and was ready for the next ride....

We decided on the last big roller coaster at the park (sadly they only have 3 big roller coasters)
The Voyage


The biggest one in the park and it's voted #1 roller coaster in the country

Well I guess my stomach wasn't all the way settled because about 5 seconds after it started I started to feel sick again and this time I felt REALLY sick, like about to throw up and pass out sick.

As soon as the ride ended we got off and Matthew went to grab our bag with our stuff in it and I walked away trying to get away from everyone but I couldn't get away fast enough...

Right there in front of everyone I puked, gross I know. And of course all the little middle school boys that saw it started yelling "Get this girl a mop" and "EWWWWWW" 
So sweet I tell ya. 
A few of the little girls came up to me and asked if they could get me some water, they were sweet.

So after that we stuck to the kiddie rides and shows...sorry hunny I know how much you love roller coasters and I promise I'll make it up to you!

On top of puking my guts out my allergies were going CRAY CRAY x's 100. 
Again.. A W E S O M E. I had to keep running to the bathroom to blow my nose and I probably sneezed about 30 times...I'm not even kidding.
You're welcome.


One of the things I absolutely LOVED about Holiday World is that the park is divided into Holidays. Literally.



and my favorite...
Overall it was a very fun day and I loved being able to spend the whole day laughing with my main squeeze!

The weather was absolutely perfect and it wasn't too crowded, we couldn't have asked for a better day :)

Road Trippin with my main squeeze

The first Monday of summer. Day off. Matthew is off. Weather is supposed to be sunny and in the 70's.
OBVIOUSLY 
this means we are going on what I like to call a "Matthew and Shelby adventure" 
and this girl is SO excited. 
The other night we were eating dinner and Matthew excused himself to the bathroom and I continued stuffing my face eating my dinner, well I look up and Matthew is walking out of the bathroom with this adorable "I just had an amazing idea" smile and I knew instantly he had something to tell me... anyways he asked what I thought about going to...you thought I was going to tell you didn't you, ha! 
 If you are following me on Instagram then you will find out pretty soon if not you are just going to have to wait until Wednesday to find out! I will tell you I have never been here before and I am SO excited to go here and to spend the whole day with Matthew.
His first night home for summer...for THREE whole months!
We look so patriotic, 'Merica.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for the week!!

April showers bring May flowers...and also allergies. Girlfriend over here has been hit HARD with allergies this season. I have missed work a couple of days because they have been so bad. My allergies are usually not that bad so my body is freaking the HECK OUT. The weather needs to make up it's mind and this rain needs to go somewhere else....youknowwhatimsayin?!!

This past Saturday I had to work (boooo...I know) and of course it was POURING. 
I woke up just fine and went to work well by time I got to work I had sneezed a total of 8 times and my eyes were already starting to swell (my mind was already saying "Today's gonna be GREEAAAT"). I knew I should have taken some allergy medicine but I was so tired I couldn't even think straight.
So I went on into work snot flying and watery eyes and everyone's first reaction was "daaaang girl you look bad" or "oh Shelby, this rain has you MESSED up" thanks guys, thanks.
 Thankfully I was working the drive through and not in my window having customers all up in my face for the next four hours.
My very first customer pulls up and has an easy transaction (thank goodness) and I have a sneezing attack.
AWESOME.
I sneezed about 10 times and my eyes were watering even more by now and she looks up at me and says "well hunny are you sick?" and I respond "NO LADY MY EYES ARE THIS SWOLLEN AND I LOOK LIKE I AM DYING EVERYDAY" 
juuuuust kidding but that was exactly what was going through my stopped up mind. Allergies make me kinda cranky I guess.

Anyways I hope all you love muffins are having a wonderful week so far and if you are taking finals also then GOOD LUCK to you, we are almost finished for the summer! Wooo hooo!
