Hi, friends! When we last met, I was bringing you a scheduled blog post on my birthday, while we were off in London! A much belated thank you for all the compliments on my dress and the happy birthday wishes! ♥ ♥ ♥ Since we got home, we've been super busy.

New Mexico vacation – Part 2
Time for part 2 of vacation photos! I'm so glad you guys enjoyed the first batch. Thank you for all the nice comments!

On our way there, we stopped for another scenic view and you can see our furry friend who was on the trip, too, our dog Pia.We ... Read more »

Locally caught fish and chips!So this time last year we were enjoying the cool, damp ... Read more »

Viva Las Vegas round-up
As of last night, we're officially home from our trip to Las Vegas. Home, sweet home!The trip was fun, but I must admit that both Mel and I wished we'd had a better time. We both had a lot of moments when we really felt VLV had gotten bigger than the space allotted for it.
