What's on your list this year? Have a good weekend ya'll!

I Need Your Opinions Please!!

Sorry for my lack of blogging. I've had a hard time getting back into the swing of things since Thanksgiving break. I've also been spending a lot of my free time getting my tree decorated and doing some Christmas shopping.

Anyway, I need ya'lls help! I graduate in 17 days and for one of my graduation gifts, my step-mom and dad are buying me a suit. So where should I begin looking for one? My professional wardrobe consists of two pairs of dress pants, a pencil skirt, and a few wrap dresses. So I'm really needing to add to it. I need you guys to tell me where to shop! Who knows if I will ever have a job that requires me to wear a suit at any point, but I think it's a good thing to have :)

Hope everyone is having a good week. I promise I will try to find some creativity to do some semi-interesting posts soon. I just have a ton going on at the moment.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thankful

This year, I'm thankful for: (in no particular order)

1. My wonderful, supportive fiance

2. My awesome family


3. Our apartment- whenever I start to complain about the lack of space, I remember that there are so many people in this world and even in our country who would love to have a warm, cozy place to call home.

4. Food in my kitchen.

5. My college education

6. Gabe's job- in this economy I'm so thankful that he was able to find such an awesome job right out of college.

7. My job- it's only part time, but I'm loving the experience that I'm gaining from it. Whether or not I decide to go in to teaching, I love that I am getting some class time and working with children.

8. The weekend trips that Gabe and I take. Memphis, Dallas, Branson,  Vegas... it's always so nice to get away for a few days and I'm so thankful that we are blessed with the means to do so.

9. My health

10. My grandparents- I am so lucky to have the best grandparents in the world. My Nonnie, Poppy, and Memo are all truly a blessing in my life and I am so thankful that I have been lucky enough to get to know them. So many don't ever really get to know their grandparents and miss out on that experience.

I hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving. Be safe if you're traveling!

Vegas!

We had so much fun this weekend! Gabe's parents recently bought a condo out there so this was our first time staying there. Gabe met me at the airport Friday evening and we went to the condo so I could freshen up before our 9:00 reservation at The Palms for dinner. Some of our friends were out there too, so they came out with us.

 I'm obsessed with this kitchen!

Poor Gabe was so tired from his conference, he almost fell asleep at dinner. 

We totally met Carrot Top that night and took a picture with him. The picture didn't turn out, so now we have no proof :(

Saturday the weather was gross. It rained and we had some crazy wind.  We started off the day with champagne brunch at the Aria in the City Center. 

 

After the Aria we went to the Palazzo to shop. 

 Shoe shopping!!!

Saturday night we actually stayed in at the condo and watched the Razorback game and ate pizza. Woo Pig Sooie!! We played Miss. State and the game went into overtime. We pulled off the win, but it was so nerve wracking! Next week is the big one, LSU! I can't wait!

 Anyway, back to Vegas, Sunday morning we had brunch reservations at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant at the Paris.

Gorgeous views from our table!

I loved the whole Paris casino and resort! I have to recommend the $5 mimosas while you shop!

 After that, we went to Cesar's Palace to shop and hit the casino!

Sunday night, Gabe's uncle came in town on business and took us out to eat off the strip. We went to this amazing restaurant and I can't for the life of me remember the name!!! It was so good though and we had a good time visiting with him. 

 Monday, we were up bright and early to pack and clean up the condo before we left.

We had some flight delays and getting back to Little Rock was absolutely hellish. I was so happy to get home last night! Anyway, we had a great time and are so lucky to be able to use the in-laws condo whenever we want. We're already planning a couple of trips back in the coming months!

Now it's time to start thinking about Thanksgiving! Tomorrow night we're at Gabe's parents house for dinner and Thursday we're with my family. I can't wait for all the food!
Hope everyone is having a good week!
