Sorry People

I know….I’ve been caught red handed by the blogging police, Stephanie and Zack.  They both told me that it has been a really long time since I had written anything so here it goes.  So what’s the news going on with Drew and I?  Well a lot has happened in a month’s time span.  I graduated from paralegal school and am now officially a paralegal…..wooo hooooo!!!!  I was able to negotiate a substantial raise at my job and I am extremely happy. For my accomplishment, my husband gave me a Nintendo DS!! I know I’m a big kid.  I now only have 1 more degree to go, law school, the big kahuna.  What else? 

Oh yes, Drew and I went to a Tim McGraw concert in Vegas it was tons of fun….I’m not a big fan of Tim McGraw, but it was awesome and a great time.  No pictures from that though because they were very strict on cameras…no fair, especially since I paid so much for the tickets.

I went to visit my daddy in San Diego for father’s day and visit with my mumma, always a good time.  My niece Lily is getting so big from the last time I saw her.  I was very surprised to see that she still remembers me. 

Most recently, Drew and I went on a trip to San Diego.  I officially made him a believer, he loves it.  We stayed at a really great hotel with an awesome view, watched fireworks, went to a lot of the museums, and ate really, really well.  Actually I think I ate a little too well, maybe gained somewhere in the realm of 2-3 pounds on the trip.  Now we’re back in Vegas which we both hate, I MISS THE WATER!!!  No really, we miss green, cool, weather/land.  But we’re having the best time together.

Now that we’re back in Vegas, I am trying to eat better.  Lets just say I’m trying to lose weight and bring sexy back.  I think that since I have gotten married I have officially gotten fat and happy.  There’s nothing wrong with being happy or married, I’m just not enjoying the getting chubby part.  Well people I hope everyone’s else’s lives are glorious right now.  Keep you up to date because we’re going to Virginia this week to visit the familia.

Just call us the traveling bees for now.

Coming up for Air

Ok, so some of you may wonder what the title of this blog is about.  Well can I just tell you that I have been in the most intense paralegal course for the past four months.  I have done nothing but go to work, school, do school work, occasional hanging out with friends, and that’s about it.  I know it sounds oh so exciting, but really not, just really hard work kicking my butt every day.  But I will tell you that throughout the course of this class I have learned many important lessons which I want to share with you.  1)  Always make time for what is truly important.  Without the family and friends we have we wouldn’t be who we are.  Also don’t wait till the last minute to do things because you won’t always have someone to bail you out.  2)  True friends and family care about you and care if you have an important event in your life going on.  They will call you anyway, even if they sometimes feel neglected.  The ones that don’t call, shouldn’t be friends and you shouldn’t pay attention to them anyway. 3)  Always follow your goals and dreams and don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do anything.  4)  Never let anyone lead you away from your goals because it may take a long time to get back.  I know many people who know me and know what I’m talking about when I write this.  I had a certain person in my life lead me away from what was really important and it took me a long time to get back to where I needed to be.   Ok so those are the lessons I wanted to share with everyone. 

Now that I am back and done with my class I will be blogging on a more regular basis, so be sure to keep up with Drew and I on our crazy adventures.  I’m officially coming up for air.

One story I will share with everyone is the pool story.  Well, Drew and I decided to go to the pool last weekend and we all know that Las Vegas is like hell on earth.  The temperature was probably about 105 and we were smart people and brought sunscreen (or so I thought).  I get the SPF 50 because I always seem to burn.  Well, Drew and I lathered up and laid by the pool relaxing having a good ole time.  We were probably there about 2 hours and went home.  Later on that day, Drew discovered that he didn’t put sunscreen on his whole body and had a perfect circle of white in the middle of his chest and everything around it was bright red.  Probably the funniest sight I have ever seen (definitely made me think of the 40 year old virgin movie).  I laughed so hard.  I had to beg him let me take a picture, but he finally agreed and said only one so I could post it on our website.  Hope ya’ll enjoy once I get it up.

Softball!!!

Ok, so true to my word…trying to update this page every week and get some pics on here for ya’ll so it’s a bit more interesting.  Well Drew and I are doing good.  We played our first night of softball together on Friday and it was tons of fun.  It’s a co-ed team and the name is Hot Dogs and Donuts….go figure…lol!  Well we lost both games which sort of stinks but we were playing a really good team.  Drew is not that bad surprisingly…but he kind of hits like a girl…no….not trying to bring him down….he’s just not a power hitter…but he is fast like a puma.  I was really proud because there was one play where he slid to second base and I thought he was safe, but the ump called him out…how not fair.  He got a little injury in the process, but I’ll be the first to tell you that any good ballplayer gets injuries.

Anywho still doing the same old things working, going to school, hanging out with Drew.  By the way, we went to see Sex and the City last night and I think that Drew and I give it two thumbs up to anyone who wants to see it.  Funny, witty, and girly. ;)   Well I think that’s it for today.  Give us a shout out. :)    There are links to our pics on the right.  I’m still updating, slowly but surely.

Wow!!

So wow!  Drew and I are officially in the world of cyberspace, thanks to my loving brother-in-law Zachary Benjamin!!  Thanks Zack….Ok…I’m blogging cause I hear that I suck at it.  Well who are we?  Well Drew and I are a military couple who have been together for 6 going on 7 years, been married for three and have 2 great furry kids.  A dog named Rocky and a cat named Layla.  We’re living in Las Vegas, Nevada and it’s ok, can’t wait to move to the next spot though.  Vegas is getting a little old, the lights, glitz and glamour is fun, but we both really miss the country and our family.  I think we both realized that this weekend when we went to Caliente, Nevada.  Can I just say that Caliente was not caliente, it was frio mucho frio.  For those of you that are not Spanish speaking it means if was really cold and not hot.  40 degrees, raining, freezing our butts off in a little town of only 1,000 people, watching softball but it was a good time hanging out with friends and spending time with eachother.  Well I think that’s all the blogging for tonight.  I’ve gotta get some rest and maybe learn how to put pictures up on this darn thing.  Test tomorrow for school….woo hoo.
