Home.

Well, what a week!

It's official. David and I have moved out of our little apartment.... As excited as we were to move and start a new adventure....it was sort of sad to leave.

After all, it was our first home together! Sure, there was always an underlying musty smell....and at times the pool looked rather questionable...but overall...it was the perfect beginning for us. I will forever be grateful for the people we met there....like our lovely neighbor (the ultimate neighboorhood watch master), walls filled with our pictures, and  the handful of kids who thought we were the coolest ever.

So now we are new "house-sitters." Not in the literal since of course. Maybe they should change that to the word....house watchers. Whichever way it is put, we are happy! It is a little different going from one bedroom to five! I feel like at times....David just disappears. Last night I tried finding him using Marco-Polo.


David dismantling the TV that no one wanted (including us...and Goodwill). Even doing so in a pink shirt. Talk about manly!


So long little apartment! You were great to us!


Through it all.....I am so grateful to have David with me through everything. Even with the change of homes, he is always my constant. (Cheesy? Maybe. But you should already know I'm all about the cheese.) Not to mention.....a whole new adventure! 

I may sound like a broken record.....but we have been so blessed here in Vegas! The people we have met have impacted our lives so much. Here's to our new home!

Out on the Town...

I'm lucky to be married to a man with "connections"......as a result....we were able to go to the Donny and Marie Osborn show last night! For no pennies out of our pocket I might add.

Actually....it should have just been called the Marie show last night.....Donny is currently out for a few weeks due to a torn gluteus maximus. Or as some may say....a torn bottom.

We had an amazing time! And even though we spent half an hour afterwards looking for our car....and then got caught in the monsoon rains of Vegas, it was still a great night!

Not the greatest picture...but the Donny and Marie sign is in the background!




For this song.....Her nephew David Osborn helped out....since Donny rather was absent. I love it!



Have I mentioned lately how blessed we both feel? Especially on nights like these!

God Bless America.

You know those days when you just wake up feeling like maybe you could just start dancing around while belting the Star Spangled Banner? Ok...ok...maybe that's a slight exaggeration.... However, the past few weeks I have felt especially blessed!

Life these days varies from hot....to a little hotter.....roasting.....and just about well done....

Yet....I very much love our lives as of late. David has been doing his clinical for the past few weeks..(which essentially means he is paying to work...) but it has been great!! And he's loving it! Only about a year an a half until you can officially call him Dr. Brown.

With both of us working.....we feel like such "grown-ups!" However, we still find time to do some pretty fun things....



Our Fourth of July!! Do you notice our red and blue? Or the stars on David's shirt? We take the 4th of July seriously over here! 



 We discovered the beautiful Sunset park! The first time...we were unprepared....and didn't bring 
bread.....






 The second time.....they loved us! Almost to the point of hostility...... 




You can even watch them in action!!

 What a dashing man I dare say! David of course....not the duck. Though they definitely attack....I mean...come in flocks. 



Sometimes we also stumble across museums!



Ice cream dates! One of my favorite places! Did you read that? Finally.....proof that ice cream truly does build healthy bodies!


Only two more weeks until we move houses!! And only three more months until cooler weather!! I don't know which I'm more excited for....

Until next time!!

New Career Path....

I'm telling you.....I don't think products come much better than this.....


How could you resist this? Who needs to be a crazy cat lady.... I can just be the old lady with hundreds of fake birds that I pretend are real whilst I sit on a chair an knit. I mean...it even comes with it's own perch!

Alright, but seriously....this man is probably making millions off a fake bird idea. Is there some sort of irony here? Time to get in the business of "As Seen On TV" ads!

All I need to do....is think of something absurd....that no one really needs.....and announce it in a really cool voice....

Here is my first attempt:

"The tooth brush. So original. So helpful. Everyone loves the clean, fresh feeling of brushing their teeth. However, do you find your arms and fingers cramping from the prolonged effort of holding your toothbrush? Are your hands feeling weighed down from the burden of repeating the same motion for an entire two minutes? Well then, the Tooth-hold is right for you!

The Tooth-hold takes the hassle out of brushing. It allows your hands freedom while brushing, unrestricted from those bothersome toothbrushes. Simply place the Tooth-hold on a wall of your choice at about the level of your mouth. Insert your toothbrush. Place your teeth on the bristles of your toothbrush and move your head side to side repeatedly.

Amazing!! The Tooth-hold keeps your toothbrush locked into place while you are moving your head. This leaves your hands plenty of time to do other things....Like....Knit a sweater! Or water your plant! Or even to play cards with your friends.

The Tooth-hold comes in especially hand for the elderly who may suffer from severe muscle cramp syndrome...leaving them unable to hold their toothbrush. Or toddlers who find themselves with dirty, grimy hands. It is even perfect for a typical adults busy schedule. You can continue to e-mail or finish your papers all while brushing your teeth!

 Get yours today for the low price of $19.95! But wait....order in the next 23 minutes and get yours for the low price of $14.95!!!"

Definitely on my way to becoming a millionaire.
