a new giveaway for a new year!

I have a confession...I recently purchased the Odor Out Room Spray for myself and i'm obsessed! It has the perfect amount of fresh citrusy smell to quickly eliminate stinkyness (as in, it's perfect for the bathroom and other smelly areas) instead of layering smells. It's also great for a quick freshening of any room. AND one spray lasts for a couple hours (no joke!). This bottle is going to last me forever. It is seriously a dream come true!

Happy New Year!

we kicked off new years eve with a lil detour to the hoover dam on our way to vegas. holy cow that thing is so impressive. it's HUGE!

don't worry, i do realize my bro decided he wanted to look like my boyfriend in this pic!

ry and i hanging out on the dam

vano and i standing in 2 places at once! (nevada and arizona)

then we headed out to the vegas strip. wow! what a place to be on new years eve. seriously the title sin city soars to new heights on new years eve. it's out of control but we had SO much fun nonetheless. there were so many people there you seriously had to shimmy your way through crowds just to get anywhere.

vano and i posing in the bellagio conservatory (and yes that is water going over our heads MOM) :)

we saw robbie maddison jump (with his motocross bike) on top of the arc at paris las vegas and then back off of it. the crowds were ridiculous but it was so worth the 1.5 hr wait to watch it. did you see us on espn?? seriously though, go look it up on you tube...there are tons of videos.

right after the big "WOOHOO happy new year"...as you can tell, ry is overly excited about it

new years day we went back to brave the crowds on the strip. we checked out some more of the hotels (the architecture is so awesome), hung out in the m&m store, and tried to have fun in the ridiculously hot circus circus arcade.

me and red. we're pretty tight!

getting ready for I Lost My M in Vegas

is it bad that i kinda wanna go back?

my newly developed obsession...

oh-so-delicious frozen yogurt with a bijillion yummy topping options. i'm not kidding...it's AMAZING!

the only problem...there are only stores in california and new york. sad day!

christmas vacation

warning: if you don't have 10 minutes to spare, i suggest you don't attempt to read this post...it's a lil bit of an overload :)

my parents spoiled us this year for christmas with a family trip to california and las vegas. we had a blast and i was completely dreading coming back to the snow!

Day 1

we headed down to hollywood to do a lil star searching. the best we found were these stars...

yes, that star says...CHUCK NORRIS (ryan's hero)

academy awards...best son-in-law and best-mother-in-law. sillyness!

after hollywood blvd we headed down to venice beach. wow...what a crazy place. it is seriously a world of its own. there are tons of street performers and hippies. it's impossible to even describe the place it's so out of control. but we loved it. we dipped our toes in the freezing cold water and then took a stroll down the beach...

...all the way to the santa monica pier. ya, i'm positive we walked about 500 miles from venice beach to santa monica and back to the car in venice beach. i'm pretty sure we were all about to die!

Day 2

we wanted to check out huntington beach (aka. surf city, usa). it was absolutely gorgeous! we had a blast watching all of the people attempting to surf. and we even saw a few dolphins! it was way cool.

the view from off the pier

after a lil toe test of the water, we decided to brave the ice cold water ourselves. we rented some oh-so-uncomfortable wet suits and boogie boards and it was so dang fun! i was so glad we decided to go. please excuse our unattractiveness in the wetsuits...i do realize they're not so cute!

my wet suit beauty shot. HAHAHA

after our day at the beach, we headed out for dinner to celebrate our ANNIVERSARY! i can't believe we've been married for 2 years. boy, time sure flies when you're having fun. these last 2 years have been absolutely amazing and my wonderful husband makes everyday even better than the last. i'm so glad he's mine FOREVER!

Day 3

we wanted to go to Disneyland, but we heard it was a lil out of control and we didn't wanna spend some major $$$ to stand in lines all day so the next best thing...the san diego zoo! i'm pretty sure every vacation i go on with my fam we end up at a zoo. we just love animals, ok! the san diego zoo is ginormous. but it was super fun and we saw tons of silly animal...

we celebrated our last night in cali with a visit to the san diego harbor for some good ol' joe's crab shack. ry sure loved it...

santa loves me...

for the last 2 years ry and i have decided not to buy each other christmas gifts...we're saving money for a fun trip to mexico one of these years. well this year santa (aka my deliciously amazing husband) paid a surprise visit. ryan figured if he delivered a gift from "santa" it wouldn't quite count in our little "no buying for each other" deal. needless to say, he spoiled me rotten! i was completely surprised when i opened this little box from "santa". in it was a pair of ginormous diamond earrings. i'm not joking...they're huge!! and absolutely gorgeous. have i mentioned lately how amazing my husband is??

surprised...

tears...

showin' em off...

if you see me sometime soon...i'll probably be wearing them. i'm a lil obsessed.

i love you babe!!!
