viva las vegas

Las Vegas was exhausting, and we're still recovering. It was fun being in Vegas this weekend, but my birthday didn't really feel like my birthday- it felt like another day in Las Vegas. Am I really 30?

great minds think alike

Keep an eye out for this guy this weekend...


After a busy week, Bran and I are enjoying a relaxing night at home tonight. We both had the same idea and stopped to get dinner and dessert on our way home from work, so we ended up eating his dinner, freezing mine and indulging in an array of desserts!

Koda will be staying at an overnight kennel this weekend, where he'll get to run around all day, playing on a dog mountain and swimming in the pool. There's a web cam on the website, so tune in this weekend and check out Koda TV.

Luckily we have an early afternoon flight tomorrow, so we're heading to Fort Collins late morning to meet up with all our friends then we'll leave from the smaller Fort Collins airport.

Go Koda-- it's your birthday. To celebrate, Koda took his first trip to the groomer where he got the full doggie spa treatment and came home with the world's biggest bone. Who says dogs don't smile?



Brandon and I are gearing up for our trip to Las Vegas this weekend. We were talking last weekend and realized that we've taken only around 3-4 vacations together over the past 6 years. We determined that we need to go on more trips, for sure. Looking forward to going back to Las Vegas-- it's been around 8 years, I believe, since my friends and I visited. I've been working out over the past month on a consistent basis and am thrilled that I've actually dropped a few pounds. Viva Las Vegas!

Brandon and I went downtown to the La Piazza dell’Arte chalk art festival today. There were so many amazing chalk drawings. It wa super hot here today, so I definitely felt for the artists as I know what it feels like when you spend 8 hours in the sun.

We walked into a nearby restaurant after, and I realize it's a place Becki told me about months ago. She said I'd really like it, and she was right on! My only wish is that we were a big group and could have reserved the Pope table.




The sherbet ice cream scoop on the right-hand side of our dessert most definitely matched the green and pink decor. Didn't really notice this until I downloaded these pictures, however.
