Kal'li O'Malley

Here's some pictures of our newest addition. Her personality is finally starting to show!

So excited!

My brother is here visiting for the week! Pics and posts to come :D

Home Sweet Home

Though we weren't even gone 24 hours our little babies definitely missed us!





So happy to be home <3 <3 <3

My oh my ...

Nick has one of the largest tournaments of the season tomorrow at was given an 8:30am tee time ... with a 2 hour drive there! Thankfully Nick's parents put us up in a swanky hotel for the evening. They also took it upon themselves to make sure we each had our own bed the way God intended...

Tomorrow is Nick and I's two year anniversaries, we've lived together for over a year, but still we are not aloud to sleep in the same bed. Only 540 days till that nonsense ends.

Crafty Wednesday

Late yesterday we learned that a family friend had her daughter! So today I worked on a few little surprises for her arrival home, take a look below.


These were super fun to make. I used baby onesies to create baby lollipops!


I found a similar card online but I jazzed it up to match the lollipops. Tutorials to come!

Turning over a new leaf

With less than a year and a half away from graduation and the wedding *insert girlish screams here* I am in desperate need to start getting healthier. After 16 years of being vegetarian I became quite used to eating whatever I wanted and not having to worry about the extra calories. A majority of the meat substitutes I ate consisted of high protein, and low calories. But now that I am off the wagon I have noticed that I have been putting on some weight since I began eating meat again...

Starting tomorrow I am going to start a cardio/strength training program to try and loose some of my carnivore weight. For the first few weeks I am going to begin with basic stretching and yoga and 30 to 45 minutes of cardio. I will be also starting the ever so popular P90X program. I have used this program in the past but unfortunately due to the high amount of pushups, many of the exercises have to be modified because of my wrist issues. I am going to take my before pictures tonight *gulp* and if in 30 days I notice a difference I will post them.

On a side note my poor puppies have been so sick today! The vet believes its a reaction to their vaccinations and I am praying she is right because I hate seeing them so miserable. Thankfully I have an amazing man in my life to keep a smile on my face while things are not at their best...

One Year Ago...

My poor baby boy got fixed! Looking back through my pictures I forgot how hard that surgery was on him, though it didn't help he had pink eye as well!

Fresh Start for my Growing Family

Today marks the one month mark since we adopted Kal'li our newest rescue. She has grown so much, but I know I have far from done with her training. We had our first vet appointment for our newest addition as well as a yearly check-up for Bunker. Thankfully both came back with a clean bill of health! The vet is still unsure whether or not Kal'li is fixed yet and wants us to wait to see if she goes into heat this fall before opening her up. She also said that Kal'li will need a dental cleaning but again she wants to wait for Kal'li to get more socialized and comfortable around people. Its so hard sometimes to see a dog like Kal'li who is such a sweetheart be so afraid of humans. It just goes to show how important and essential contact is for all living creatures. I just thank God that Kal'li found her way into our lives and our hearts.



Balancing wedding planning and school this upcoming year will be a challenge so for the better part of this summer I have been trying to plan the intimate details of our special day. I do have a wedding website which I keep pretty current but I am sure as I attempt to DIY a majority of my wedding I will post updates here as well! The biggest challenge for me at the moment is trying to finalize a venue, but until we get out to Vegas this winter I do not want to book until I can finally see the locations for myself.

Only 1 year, 5 months, 3 weeks, and 4 days until Nick and I finally get married!!!
