Hi Everyone!!

It's time to announce the winner of the 200 Followers Giveaway:

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Congrats Kristin! I will be emailing you shortly.

Also, I wanted to give a quick update on Emma. She came through her surgery great. She ended up having 3 teeth removed and was very groggy when I picked her up. She will be on pain medication and antibiotics for 7 days. This is what she looked like when I got her home:

She obviously didn't like me taking her picture haha. Poor thing.

Have a great evening!

The Killers

I'm sure most of you (I hope) have heard of the band The Killers. If you haven't please go to youtube or itunes and take a listen. They are AMAZING! I may be partial because they are all from Vegas and the lead singer, Brandon Flowers, went to my high school (my sister went to school with him).

They recently released a new album (Battle Born) and this is the first single: Runaways.

Take a listen and I hope you love it as much as I do. I think I have played it about 20+ times today. 

Enjoy!!!

Big Day

Today is a big day for our sweet Emma. She will be undergoing surgery to remove the abscess tooth that has been causing her so much pain. 

I took her for a walk yesterday because I knew that she would be groggy and sluggish for the next few days. She was so happy to be outside:

Say a little prayer for her that everything goes smoothly!

I hope you all have a great day!

My Feelings

Kyle and I are going to El Paso this weekend to look at homes with our realtor. We are really excited to get this going and I have my fingers crossed that we will be able to put an offer on a home *squeel*. Amidst all of our excitement we are still getting several negative opinions about this move (at no point have we asked anyone their opinion because frankly it doesn't matter). I am sick and tired of people thinking that we want their opinion. We made this decision for Kyle to take this job because it is good for his career and because we have heard AMAZING things about Bliss and the area from people who actually have been there. Here is my response to the negative people:

Thanks for letting me vent!!

On a very positive note, since I went on vacation a month ago I tried my hardest to watch my calorie intake and still try to lose weight. 

The last time I did a post I weighed:

133.4

Well I weighed myself this morning and was shocked to see this number pop up:

128.4

HOLY COW!!!!! I am so excited, I am 3.4 pounds away from my goal. I honestly thought that I would have gained weight on my trip. I am just hoping that I can keep it up.

Don't forget about my 200 followers giveaway, tomorrow night I will be announcing the winner!

Have a great day!

New Blog Design

For the last few days I have been working with the amazing Kristen from WTF Designs. She has been so helpful and easy to work with, she made this a great experience.

I am 110% in love with my new design and if any of you need/want a new layout please go see Kristen!

What do you all think?

Hope you all are having a great day!

Weekend Recap

For my last weekend in Vegas it was spent celebrating my BIL's (and new SIL's) wedding. Friday we had the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner it was great to see some of Kyle's extended family. 

The wedding was at 5pm on Saturday and it was a beautiful evening for an outside wedding. I was pretty excited when I found out that Kyle was going to be walking me down the aisle (he was a groomsman). I was seated up front with his parents, grandma and aunt and uncle. It was a beautiful ceremony and ended with a really fun reception! Kyle and I danced like crazy with family and had a great night. Here are a few pictures from the evening:

Of course no wedding is complete without a photo booth. :)

We said goodbye to all of Kyle's family that night since we were leaving early morning Sunday. We had a great time.We got up around 8am on Sunday morning, we spent some time with my Dad, Lisa, Chris, Kylie and Grayson before we hit the road.I had an amazing month home with family, can't wait to see everyone again!

I have spent my day today grocery shopping, cleaning, doing laundry, baking some cupcakes and voting (woohoo). I am ready to sit on the couch and relax. 

I hope you all are having an amazing day!
