July 26th

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.
