After a few month hiatus, we are BACK! Here's what has been going on...

I'm back and all settled in! Things have been CRAZY the past couple months but I couldn't be happier with where Adam and I are now.

Oh, hello there.

Here's a quick recap..

We made it to Vegas! We successfully moved [almost] all of our things to Vegas and have started our life here! Adam drove a friends parents UHAUL since they were relocating from NY to Las Vegas; WHAT ARE THE ODDS? We were able to get a lot of our things in the back of the truck!! It was PACKED but what luck!

Holy pack job..

We both got vehicles and jobs pretty quickly and are starting to look for the perfect place. We have some incredible friends who have so graciously opened their home to us [in exchange early on for some house help! haha] while we figure life out, and we couldn't feel more lucky for that.

My JUKE! I love it!

Some powerwashing fun!

Wall sanding!

Thanksgiving and Christmas were quite strange being away from friends and family. 

Thanksgiving we went to a casino buffet which was quite possibly the worst idea we have had to date. We stood in line for 3+ hours to get a seat. Why? We have no idea. We were committed by hour 1 and couldn't turn back. How was the buffet, you ask? It was a buffet. I don't even like buffets. Next year we will cook. Also noted to never go to a casino buffet on a holiday ever again. 

Christmas Eve we stayed busy. Adam and I walked around the Bellagio checking out the beautiful decorations and taking photos of what we were doing and sending them to my dad in real time. 

This guy was made all from flowers! The polar bear, too...

We then went on a Christmas Eve Jeep Run down the strip with 40+ jeeps that were DECKED OUT with decorations!! 

Awesome Jeeps!

Me & Shanda!

Merry Christmas!

Check out this video that Shanda & Adam made after we got back. It was SO MUCH FUN.

Christmas morning was spent drinking coffee and Face Timing my parents while we opened gifts that we sent each other. Apparently my dad and I had the exact same idea to get each other these scuba tank water bottles. All we could do was laugh as we opened them up. Love it!

Since the holidays, things have picked up with work and getting comfortable in our new state! I found an amazing yoga place that will become part of my daily routine now. There is nothing like starting or finishing your day with yoga. Absolutely love it. Namaste.

SCUBA! We have met an incredible instructor, Kelly, who is excited to take us through all of our trainings and continue to Instructor level. This is literally a dream come true to live somewhere where diving can be year round. I may need to get my drysuit certification sooner than later, but it's possible! Adam is in the middle of his certification and will complete it within the next few weeks- so exciting!

Scuba- pool practice at Nellis Air Force Base

What's next...

Mexico! Because the travel bug is never far when you realize how much better it is than reality! This trip though will be much different! It will include some great family time, relaxing, and two incredible incredible words: ALL INCLUSIVE. Yes. This is going to be great, as we are used to counting every cent we spent while on our trip. I will eat lots of meals and drink lots of delicious drinks at the pool bars. This trip will be the trip of relaxation [and more SCUBA diving!] and I can't wait! Also can't wait to see my parents! Woop woop!

GoPro will be in hand and hopefully we will get some amazing shots.

Adam has been continuing to update Instagram during his hikes and posting some sweet shots over there. I have started rolling with the scuba shops Instagram so make sure to check out Blue Gravity Scuba while you're on! Under both photos below will be the links to these Instagrams.
