1. As you read this (if you are reading this on Sunday morning), I am flying to Florida with my sister.
2. In Florida, we will be meeting our super cute, five year old little brother for the first time.
3. In other vitally important life-news, I will also be fulfilling a desperate dream of visiting Hogwarts, drinking butterbear, and possibly purchasing my very own Hermione-esque cape and wand at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando. Does anyone else’s heart skip a beat when they hear that music? Just me?
Don’t judge.
4. When I told my dear friend Kristin, a fellow HP fanatic, that I was going to Harry Potter World, she immediately became furious with me, and then did the normal thing and bought a ticket for an overnight trip to Florida so she could go, too. I love my blog friends. (Matthew’s response when I told him this? “You blogger friends are just a weird little ring of people.” Touche, Matthew. I don’t think any of us would deny it.)
5. And last but certainly not least, I will be spending a day with Sarah Tucker.
Life = MADE.
Here’s a little Instagram picture of a quote I found and liked the other day. Made me think.
Have an amazing time! I absolutely loved the Harry Potter ride & Hogwarts. It was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally confused about your meeting your little bro for the first time. Are you being intentionally vague or am I missing something??
oh, how funny! i'm about to hop on a plane to orlando as well! except i'm somewhat going home :) i hope you have a fantastic time!
ReplyDeleteThe FB snippet only showed that you were "visiting Hogwarts" so I got all excited that you were coming to England! Alas, no... but I hear the Harry Potter Studio tour at the London set is amazing... hint, hint! Have a great trip to FL!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Emmy -- somewhat confused but excited about the brother!
ReplyDeleteI am also incredibly jealous, I had NO idea such a place existed! I would buy a ticket and join but I'd say it's a little more expensive from this side of the world :( take lots of pictures though *sob*
Xx
Aw, you are such an adorable nerd. :) Have fun in HP Land! On a side note, I can't believe I didn't know about Sarah Tucker's blog. SO good. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're coming to my town! Make sure to check out Dandelion Communitea Cafe and Park Avenue. Email me if you want to know the cool places to go in the city:)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about visiting HP land! My husband somehow agreed to take me this year... and I'm getting Hermionie-esque accessories as well! Post some insider tips for me!
ReplyDeletemy excitement really knows no bounds right now... I loved Disney enough before they added the HP park... now, well OHHH EMMM GEEE!
ReplyDeleteI'm also super excited for the people you are going to meet eeekkk

ReplyDeleteYour going to love the wizarding world there. I went the day it opened two years ago and that day I felt my life had been made haha. The line for a wand was 3 hours that day. Needless to say, I didn't get one. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day there!

ReplyDeleteHope you had a great time meeting your little brother.
Sounds like a fun trip planned!! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun lady friend!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to meet your brother? This sounds like an interesting story... I probably should be reading your blog more to find out the story behind this. And HP world is pretty cool! I went last Spring break with my boyfriend & we had a blast!! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you had a little brother! Although it's not like you know about me either so I shouldn't be so surprised! But that's so awesome that you're going to meet him for the first time!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Florida!! I have family in FL, but it's northern florida. But be thankful you are flying(or have already flown) there, because a few yrs.ago my sister, brother, and I drove(well my sister and I drove) all the way down to Orlando FL, all night. It was the longest drive ever.
But I hope you have a great time!!! Enjoy the beautiful beaches and great weather! Well, you're used to the weather. But still.
Have fun on your trip! Be sure to take LOTS of pictures to share! ;)
ReplyDeleteMy heart totally skips! So jealous you're going to the Wizarding World!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog through Jenna at The Life of the Wife! I am reading a new post every chance I get! Loving it!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm super jealous that you're getting to go to Harry Potter World!!! I am pretty obsessed with HP too! Like to the point where I quote the books/movies every day of my life. And so does my husband...we're so cool!
Can't wait to read more of your blog!

ReplyDeleteI am dying to go HP World too... Some good friends of ours went a few months ago and brought back every flavor beans. I had to quit after trying pepper and sausage. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have an amazing trip...Harry Potter world I'm sure will be a blast. Love what Matthew said about blog friends...too funny.
ReplyDeletexo erica
So jealous of your HP excursion - please document EVERYTHING!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having an amazing time! But I guess that won't be a problem with all things HP involved LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd really great that you're meeting your little brother for the first time, wow!
Have fun!
You are going to have a BLAST at Harry Potter. Just went there a couple of months ago.. make sure you go on the main ride, it'll blow your mind.
ReplyDeleteThe music plays too when you walk in the park and you'll probably start crying.. i did. haha
As a fellow Potterhead I am both ecstatic & jealous!
ReplyDeleteHave loads of fun!!!
xx
Jealous of all of the above. Have an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteHave the best time!!
ReplyDeleteummmmm Hi, jealous here also!!! My hubster and I LOVE Harry Potter, and when I saw the "land" on the Today Show I was like "We HAVE TO GO THERE!"
ReplyDeletePsh. Tell me how the butterbeer is. :-P!!!!
Hope you have a lovely time in Florida - I saw on Instagram that it was stormy so hope you're still having a good time :)
ReplyDeleteSo jealous about Harry Potter world! I went to the studio tour in London last month with my little sisters and it was amazing! Been watching the movies all week in fact and saw the last one last night - forgot how amazing and sad it is!
Can't wait to see your photos!
xxx
Very nice, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo LUCKY! Have fun and let me know how it is!
ReplyDeleteSister? Little 5 year old brother meeting for the first time? Maybe you could share more...someday. When you are ready.
ReplyDeleteMatthew makes me laugh. And your fascination with all things HP makes me laugh. You must post a picture of you in your cape ;-)
Have a great time!!
SO JEALOUS!! Hope you're having a blast! :)
ReplyDeleteMatthew's comment made me seriously laugh! Love it! I'm glad I'm not the only one who seems to missing the missing link about you having a brother, I knew about the sister but not the brother, that is super exciting for you to meet him though! He will LOVE you! :)
ReplyDeleteHogwarts. Hogwarts.. Hogwarts.
ReplyDeleteDying. Dead. I want to go so badly. You just totally forgot to invite me. HELLLLLLLLLLLLO!
Oh the adventures you'll have. for sure.
Meeting your little brother for the first time? Now you've got me curious!
ReplyDeleteSounds like so much excitement for one trip! Between meeting your brother, visiting HP world (SO JEALOUS!), and hanging out with Sarah (love her blog!), I think I'd just about overdose on all of the resulting happiness!
Gotta love Matthew's comment, too funny! Have an awesome time!
GAH! Jealous. I can't wait to see pictures.
ReplyDeleteJealous! I want to go to HP world too! haha. Hope you have a great time!
ReplyDeleteThat quote is great too. Love it.
You will have a COMPLETE blast at Harry Potter World. We went the summer that it opened and it was AMAZING. Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteNice post. I study one thing more challenging on different blogs everyday. It would at all times be stimulating to read content material from other writers and follow a bit something from their store. I'd want to make use of some with the content on my weblog whether or not you don't mind. Natually I'll provide you with a link in your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
