So, it has been quite some time since we updated. Our vacation to Vegas was a lot of fun, but hot! We ended up staying at Harrah's for 4 nights and The Palazzo for 2 nights. The suite at the Palazzo was really nice and had a reallllly comfy bed. We spend a day just driving around Red Rock Canyon and going shopping. We went to three shows; Mac King, Peep Show, and Mystere...I liked Mac King and Peep Show, but Mystere was a little out there for me. Oh well.
Since we've been back, we've been focusing on getting a house. We narrowed it down to 26, then 13, then 4...and (hope) we have a winner! It isn't 100% that we'll get it, but we're hoping! We'll hear back from our Mortgage Broker, Pete, on Monday and go from there!
It has a nice backyard for Bentley, which is probably our number 1 concern in choosing a house. Also, it has a cute patio, which will be nice for all the BBQ's Uncle Guy and Aunt Ann Marie will be coming to! ;) Click the link below for a virtual tour!
Here's the house: (deleted, bc, 8/2/09 -- not the house)
In other news, we started a new diet plan. It's called "Diet to Go". Every Wednesday, we get 4 boxes of food (2 fresh, 2 frozen) delivered to our house. It feeds us 3 meals a day, for 5 days a week. We just started, but I've already lost 3 lbs this week..and the food is good! We had grilled cheese, lentil chili, and a brownie for lunch today. Mac and Cheese and Cauliflower for Dinner! Num Num!
Other than that, we've just been enjoying living in Birmingham for the time being and spending time with Bentley.

Update July 1st
So, we're in between vacations. Actually its felt like a vacation for a while now. But one more trip to go.
Last week we were in Gatlinburg. We rented out a house. Eleven of us fit pretty easily, and we kept busy all week. We do a bunch of touristy stuff during the day, and drank hard at night. All in all a good week. Highlight was either the white water rafting trip or riding a ski-lift to the top of the mountains.
We've been getting used to the new place in Birmingham. It's pretty nice. No back yard to let Bentley play in, but he's been getting four walks a day so he can't complain too much. There are a lot of dogs in this neighborhood. Last night I walked to the Kroger to get stir fry veggies, it was pretty cool I thought.
I'm hoping the trip to Vegas will be cool. Bentley is staying at my parents. It's Allison's first time to Vegas, so I hope the city makes a good impression on her. I'm hoping to see a bunch of shows and gamble on the Tigers while I'm there. Andrew is playing in the main event which will be fun to watch. Plus I'll get to meet up with Derek and Mike, and I think Marc and Nancy will be other there too.
All in all things are going pretty good, just hectic.
