A New Edition

It's been some time since I've posted a new blog. Alot has happened recently in my life so, I'll fill you in.

First
Matt and I went on vacation a few weekends ago. It was so nice just to get out of town for a few days, just the two of us. We went to Santa Monica Beach and just hung out and relaxed. Our hotel was just across from the pier and the beach. We didn't have to drive anywhere, we walked across to the pier and then headed down the beach. We walked from Santa Monica through Venice and down to Marina Del Rey before we turned around and headed back to Santa Monica. It took us about 6 hours and the walk was nearly 10 miles (round trip). Our legs were dead by the time we got back to the hotel. Although it was probably too far to walk in a day, it was nice. The weather was great, the weird-os were cool, and it was just an over all nice day. We then went back to the hotel to get ready for dinner, which happened to be our Valentine's Day dinner. We ate at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co restaurant, the food was super good and the atmosphere was fun. Overall, the small weekend getaway was just what the doctor ordered!

Second
This is probably the most important news of all...we have a new edition to our small family. We are expecting our first child!!! To date, I'm about 12 weeks along. We've had the chance to meet our newest creation and hear the heart beat. I have a new doctor who I've just met and so far, I like her. What a miralce! The doctor has said that everything is going great with my pregnancy. I haven't had any morning sickness or nausea, thank God! I've actually lost a few pounds, which totally boggles my mind seeing as I've been starving ever since I found out I was pregnant. God has lined things up perfectly for us and we thank Him for that. We've got a good home to bring the new baby to, our insurance is lined up and Matt still has a job. What more could anyone ask for?!

A New Year

Well, 2008 has come and gone, in a flash. Fortunately for us, we didn't have any news that was too much to handle, thank God. It's 2009 now and things are looking pretty good. I quit my job in December, so now I'm a house wife. Not for long though, I hope. It's hard staying home all day when you're used to going to work 40+ hours a week and then going to school 3 nights after work, you're day seems very empty.

Matt's still working, again, thank God. They've "deleted" alot of positions and the Golden Nugget, but fortunately for us, they haven't touched the engineering and mainenance departments. Although they have only booked the hotel to 40% capacity (not a good sign), he has still had steady work, something always needs to be fixed!

We're finally home!

So yes, we're finally moved into our new home. We moved in on November 29th! I had everything (utility wise) set up for Saturday afternoon so that once we were all moved in, we would have all of our stuff: cable, power, gas, water etc. However, as usual nothing goes as planned. We "missed" the gas guy by about an hour. He so kindly left a note on the door telling us to call the main number to reschedule. I kid you not, I tried calling Southwest Gas for 2 days straight with no avail. Needless to say we had no drier, no hot water, no stove/oven, and no heat for 5 days!!! What an adventure that was.

But, today is Thursday December 4th, and we are much happier now that we can at least take a hot shower. Man, when you don't have it, you realize how much you've taken hot water for granted. I'm still peeved at the gas company, but will forgive them for "not being able to get a tech out to you until Wednesday". :/ Whatever! I'm in my house, I have heat, and am happy once again! :)

BIG NEWS!!!

We're super excited to make this post...

WE'RE MOVING!!!!!!! AND IT'S INTO A HOUSE!!!!!!

I know that you were probably thinking something else, but this is huge for us. We're going from a 1 bed/1 bath apt to a 3 bed/2 bath/2 car garage gated home!!! Be excited, be very excited! :D

1 yr anniversary!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!
That's right, we made it through our first married year, yay!! We didn't get to do a whole lot, because we're in the middle of trying to save money to get into a better place (which will be some time this month). We did however make time to go out for a little while. We really wanted to go see The Beatles shoe LOVE at the Mirager, but the tickets were just gonna be too expensive for us, so we improvised and bought tickets for the new Criss Angel show BELIEVE at the Luxor. It was good just to be able to take the time to go see a show in Vegas, (we live here but never go see any attractions), plus the price we paid for two tickets would be the price for us just to buy one for LOVE. So, we had dinner reservations before the show at T&T, a mexican place inside the Luxor and then we were off to the show. The food was amazing and definitley not over priced. We were really excited for the show, but were sadly disappointed. Maybe we were expecting too much or something different than what it turned out to be, but I wouldn't recommend spending the money for it. There was no magic, hardly illusion (it doesn't count as illusion when you're doing stuff behind a screen), and just really strange, the majority of the show was spent watching humans dressed up as rabbits dancing around the stage. We found ourselves numerous times turning to each other saying, "what??". Very weird, don't recommend it. Maybe we'll get to LOVE some time next year.

NKOTB....THEY'RE BAAACK!!

OMG!!! Ok, seriously now, the NKOTB show was so much better than I thought it was going to be. Of course, there were a few cheesy moves and stuff throughout the show, but it wouldn't have been NEW KIDS if they didn't do a few throw-back moves. There was lots of coreographed "80's" moves, but you couldn't help to love it. The pictures may not have come out to be the best ones ever taken, but you get the point. And yes, Matt had to go with me cause we bought two tickets thinking one of my friends was going but (of course) couldn't come up with the money in time, is it great having a hubby?? j/k

Life

So, who knew that growing up would be so hard?

My life is soooo hectic right now! Work, school, sleep, that's pretty much it. There's never enough hours in a day to get all the things done that I want to. It never fails that I always forget something at the grocery store.. I hate that!

I absolutely love the Dental Assistant program that I'm in. I'm so glad that I have finally found my calling. I should have done this years ago. I can't wait to leave my full time job, find something part time and finish school. Who knows, I might just get the assistant thing done and go back for hygiene. If I didn't have the fab hubby that I have to support me and make enough money so that I can quit working, I don't know what I'd do.

And to top it off, I really can't wait to have kids! (dont tell matt, well, i guess he does need to help a little with this) :D
