OUR DISNEYLAND DAY | daniel's 27th birthday celebration + mazda6 i grand touring review

Engagement and falling in love and life craziness pushed my regular blogging schedule somewhat to the backseat this past summer. Not now! This autumn I am back and so thrilled to be here again on an almost-daily basis with you, my precious friends! And I am excited to (finally) catch up on sharing some of my highlights with Cowboy through 2014. Starting today with sharing his birthday celebration back in August -- we spent a magical, whirlwind day at Disneyland. Perfect weather, delicious food, short ride wait times, sweet treats, and laughter filled our day. Such a sweet blessing and I think Daniel enjoyed his birthday... I loved celebrating him! I have spent several of my birthdays and even my high school graduation at Disney as I'm a born and raised California gal, and so it's SUPER fun showing off one of CA's most fabulous attractions to my Oklahoma man. Thanks for the memories, Disneyland! 

And here he is -- sitting in the same exact little nook in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle --where he said "I love you" to me for the first time ever, 3 months before, and I said it back.

A perfectly magical birthday for my wonderful man!

Thank you to Drive STI -- the awesome company I work with who so kindly let us drive and review a (gorgeous) 2015 Mazda6 i Grand Touring, just for our fun birthday celebration out! (SUCH a dreamy vehicle.)

We sooo enjoyed driving this beautiful, new vehicle. And look how pretty the red color is! It's called "Soul Red." The awesome people at Drive STI purposefully chose this red shade for me because "it looks like Disneyland!" -- just my kinda thinking!

Some of my personal favorite features of 2015 Mazda6 i Grand Touring:

• Black leather interior
• Leather-trimmed sport seats (so comfortable!)
• Heated front seats (I'm a total wimp when it comes to colder weather, so this was right up my alley!)
• Power moonroof
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• 5.8" Touchscreen Display
• Auto-dimming driver side mirrors
• Bluetooth hands-free phone/audio
• Rearview camera (such a nice safety feature) 
• USB Audio input and HD radio
• 184 Horsepower, 185 LB-FT Torque
• 32 miles per gallon gas mileage (we were truly impressed by how little we had to fill up. Incredible gas mileage!)
• Advanced keyless entry system60/40 split fold-down rear seat (so much room.)

My Experience + Thoughts: 

I absolutely loved driving this vehicle (and so did Daniel!) It was totally luxury, got amazing gas mileage, drove so smoothly, had such a beautiful, sleek look, and was one of the most comfortable vehicles I have ever driven in. It's roomy, affordable, high quality, practical, and just gorgeous inside and out. I HIGHLY recommend it and would definitely consider purchasing this car. I honestly encourage you to check it out! 

Thank you again, Drive STI!
