New Mexico

I had a blast in New Mexico. It was so fun to see Juliana and Bella. I miss them so much. I also loved seeing Seren Gale get married and now Seren Jackson. There were some weather issues the day before and day of the wedding, but that didn't stop anyone. It was so much fun to take many picture of everyone getting ready and the wedding. I will have to say it has taken me a couple days to recover from the trip, but it was so much fun to go there.


Seren wanted me to take some pictures of her wedding dress. I was stuck in the bathroom while all the girls were getting ready and playing with different lighting. There are many pictures that I need to fix, but I for sure had no problem being stuck in the bathroom


This is Shelby, Seren's Maiden of Honor. I just love candid shots!


Here is Seren and all of her attendents. I knew everyone but one from church and high school. It was fun to be reconnected and meet new friends


This is one of my favorites of Seren getting ready.


Another cute picture!


Seren and Damon are married!!!!!

A real eye opener

Nick and I were grocery shopping last night and found a book called "Eat This, Not That" by David Zinckenko. He is the editor in chief of Men's Health magazine. This book shows the calories in the foods we eat at restaurants, fast food places, and supermarkets that you may not know how bad they really are for you. This book shows things that restaurants wants to keep you from knowing. This also helps break down all the choices within a certain group to help decide what is better. When we thought we were okay in calories because it is chicken or turkey ended up being the worst for us. Some things we have tried or eaten in the past were anywhere from 1000-2000 calorie a serving! Nick and I realized a lot about what we choose and what we won't choose ever again. This book showed a lot to us that we have a lot of work to do to improve our diets. Like I said this book was a real eye opener for both of us. We recommend this to everyone whether or not you are trying to lose weight. This book is jam packed full of nutrition facts and choices that it is kind of overwhelming. Good luck if you choose to read this book. I know I am going to share this book with all my friends and family. We all probably could improve our health one way or another. There is also a kid section which breaks down ages and what should be ordered if eating out at restaurants. You will LOVE AND HATE the book at the same time. I know we did. I thought ignorance was bliss, but when it comes to my health, that shouldn't be the case. This book showed that a Big Mac has 200 calories less than a Whopper with Cheese. That one tortilla has 250 calories!

Pictures

Last weekend Nick and I and the dogs went to a friends home to let our dogs play and just get together. I work with these guys and I will have to say are among the best coworkers that I have ever worked with. There is no drama and we are just good friends to be there for eachother. I am so glad for where I work and the friends i have. Here are some pictures I took there.

Good to be home

We just got home yesterday from Las Vegas and we had so much fun. The weather was perfect, we didn't push ourselves too hard and did alot of relaxing. I still have today and tomorrow off so I will be cleaning and finishing laundry. Poor Nick has to go back to work tonight, but he is ready. This vacation was exactly what we needed and now we are recooperated and ready to start back up to work. Thanks to a friend of mine who watched our dogs so we didn't have to kennel them. Overall this was one of the best vacations that we have taken in a very long time.
