I love Sunday naps!


I love when we have church at 9:00! That means we get to take long naps. As I was going through the pictures on our camera I saw this one... my sweet husband took it today while I was taking my nap. He will tell you that all Bruce girls sleep with their mouths wide open, even Ava. When we were on the plane down to Costa Rica he noticed I wasn't the only one! Notice my cute pillow case that my mom sent us for Valentines day. Thanks mom! I hope everyone had a good nap today like me!

Our week at a glance...

I know we haven't posted for awhile, sorry! Nothing too exciting happened. I started real estate school, and it actually is way more entertaining then I EVER thought possible. When I was in high school and my dad had to re-new his licenses from out of state I would watch the movies and answer the questions and he would pay me. SO BORING! I thought if I have to sit through 4 weeks of that I would never last. Thankfully our teacher is not mono-tone.

Andy started at UNLV this week as well. Go rebels! The best part is this morning a girl from UVSC called and asked when he was coming back to school. She was NOT happy to hear that he wasn't.

Besides that we are just having fun in Las Vegas working and saving money. Today we are going to look at model homes (my favorite activity) so wish us luck!!

(Sorry for the lack of pictures)

What is it??

In my family whenever we needed the item pictured below...



We would always say "serge protector"... "I need a serge protector" "Will you go buy a serge protector" etc... The other night we were trying to set my work station at home and I said "Andy, can you go get a serge protector" He looked at me with a blank stare and said, a what? As I explained what I needed he replied, "Oh you need a plug bar." I said HUH? No, I need a serge protector.

Now then, this may be silly, but what is it called?? We cannot come to an agreement on what to call these nifty little things... Plug bar? or Serge Protector?

It's official!




Two driving tests and a 2 hour wait later... I am a Nevada resident. They wouldn't give my California license back, so it is official. I will admit I was a little sad, but we all have to grow up sometime I guess!!

We made it!

After living out of a suitcase for 4 weeks, we finally are all moved in and getting into a normal routine. We apologize for the lack of posting over the past few weeks! We have internet and will keep on our posting for the new year! We hope everyone had a great Holiday season, and we look forward to 2008!

Back to Southern California...

After Roseville, we headed back down to Orange County while I trained for work. We had a fun time just relaxing and preparing to head back to Las Vegas. We decided to make one last stop to... DISNEYLAND! It was SO empty and we walked on to Splash Mountain, I mean seriously, when does that ever happen? Here are a few pictures from the day...



On Splash Mountain!

Gotta have a chocolate covered banana every time!

The perfect way to end the day.... Buzzlight year, I always lose even though I seriously try my hardest to win... I point the laser gun at the target and i does nothing... towards the end I was just moving our chair around every time Andy went to shoot so he would miss... Look at how serious his face is in this picture... Classic!

Roseville!!

We had a FABULOUS trip up to Roseville, CA to visit the Trythall family. This year Santa brought them "Rock Band" for Xbox. Drew, Jake and Nick all played together and regrettably I did not film any of their performances, which were the highlight of our trip. I will say Jake was my favorite with the microphone getting into the dancing and singing his heart out. We saw some great movies and played Polly Pockets while listening to Disney Princess songs. Could anyone ask for a better vacation? Thank you Trythall family for letting us come and stay with you, we will come again!!

I unfortunately did not take many pictures, but here are the ones we did have!

I just found these pictures on my camera and thought they were blog-worthy. So here they are:
