Learn about me and my family and some of our favorite things to do!
After living in our apartment for the last year we are deciding to move. We found somewhere that is $300 cheaper than where we currently live and is in a relatively decent area (primarily because our favorite Korean Barbeque place and in-n-out is right next to it). We are still right next to the strip, freeway, and stores so it is … Continue reading Laying Roots and Tips on Moving

We all have those things that we would just die if we didn’t have them. Well maybe not die, but they sure do make life easier and comfortable. For me, they range from … Continue reading Five Things I Can’t Live Without
This past week has been wonderful. My amazing family came to visit us in Las Vegas. It started with the arrival of my mom and little sister who drove in from Texas over the course of two days. We spent a few days just the 4 of us catching up and enjoying each others company. We played board games, A LOT of Mario Cart, and … Continue reading Family Visit
When it comes to being healthy, I am my own worst enemy. I know I need to be eating healthier and exercising more often, but I JUST DON’T WANT TO. I hate going to the gym, I don’t like diets because then all I can think about is the things that I’m not allowed to eat. I have taken numerous nutrition and health classes when … Continue reading How I self Motivate to be Healthy
