My sister, her BF and her friends left to Vegas the day before, we had originally planned on taking the trip with them but b/c the hubs started the new job we decided not to go.... but last min I just couldn't resist and we booked our flight, packed our bags and off we went!!!!!!!!

Where we stayed:

Aria (LOVED IT)

What we did:

Pure night club, Fashion show mall, Restaurants, Zumanity (MUST SEE), Casinos and everything fun!

Best part:

Spending time with the hubs, Zumanity and winning $500 on penny slots :)

"Invincible"

I know I've been a bad blogger, but I just haven't been able to find time to get on here to write daily!!! With that said here is my reason why I've been working more late nights and I have taken on a new position at my job as the new professional relation coordinator and have been trying to learn the ropes, So now not only do I have a new job but the hubs is starting his new job on November 1st. I'm really excited for the both of us b/c we always strive for the best!

It took a lot of thought and convincing for me to finally yes to my new position because I am my worst critic....I always want to be professional, well spoken and carry myself as an educated Puerto Rican women......

Sooooooo, I knew exactly who I needed to speak with to help me make up my mind! That would be my mom, the most amazing women I know, she knows every thing about me and what happens in my life (she's the only female I trust)so I knew we needed to have mommy and daughter meeting lol asap! I told her how I felt about taking the position and my concerns..... the words that came out of her mouth were exactly what I needed to hear, that no one else would ever say. Her words of encouragement never fail to make you feel anything less then invincible! I knew I just had to do it, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain! :) love you mom !

P.S The hubs and I got matching tattoos (6 months late but, we got them)

My husbands birthday- Yeah husband! :)

So Friday the 15th was the hubs birthday, we enjoyed a long day just him and I. The hubs couldn't decide what he wanted to do for his birthday so we kind of a just winged it and went to NY and ate at the melting pot (his first time). It was very chilled and laid back... it was just nice to spend time with him <3

I leave you with some family love!

The (Pre) Baby Bucket List!

Most of you may not know what a (pre)baby bucket list is but it's just like a regular bucket list (a list) of the things you want to do before you die... of course these are things I want to do before I have a child. Of course if baby comes and I don't finish I can always work on them later... but I would like to at least try to conquer some of the things I've needed to work on and now is really a great time to do these things.

Here is my list!

The (Pre) Baby Bucket List

Eat Better

Learn to cook (or at least try)

Travel to Vegas

Over come some of my fears

Exercise

Save more money

Meet a Financial Planner
~~Visit all my Dr.s for check-ups~~

Become a happier and more positive person

Be more connected with God and my faith

Take my meds faithfully (become healthier)

Set up Weekly/ Monthly dates with the hubs

Fully train Miley

Save for and look into buying a house
Continue to grow Dashing Designs and Events

I know a lot of people have there own opinion about when they think I (we) are ready to reproduce but we are up for the challenge.

I don't think I should have to hold back how I feel about wanting a child just because I don't want to hear peoples remarks.

So here's to our journey and TTC!

I just had to leave with this quote from a blog I read because it sums up so well how I feel.

"The finances aren’t perfect, the baby bucket list isn’t finished, we haven’t traveled the globe yet, nor are we nearly as mature as I would have hoped for by this age. But we’re ready. We’re up to the challenge. I’m even up to the challenge of getting fat, hairy, and forever flatulent. I don’t mind all that and I would develop a 100 more unattractive traits and scrap the rest of the things not yet finished for one little screaming, projectile vomiting miracle of my own."-definitelymaybebaby
