3 months married! (updates)

Can you believe how fast this month flew by? I am so excited that we will be getting the keys to our place on Thursday and the move starts. Although, my long holiday weekend is going to be busy and exhausting I am so happy to be moving into our place just the hubs me and our Miley.

Btw, Miley has the hubs and I on our toes.... ugh all she does is pee, poop and bite! NO Good.... it's been pretty tough with so many people in our house all trying to train her there way... so it will be nice to get in our place and set her butt straight lol... This is good prep for a baby! I will continue to post new pics of her as she grows and she's grown fast :(


And I will be taking these pics and videos with my new iPhone 4 :) Love it <3

Happy Birthday To Me and Welcome Miley!

Yay! I had a really nice birthday although I worked all day we did find the time to go out to BAR and have mashed potato pizza ! YUMMMMMM! I know what your thinking but don't make a face unless you've tried it! So for my birthday the hubs got me Tory Burch flats, a dozen chocolate covered roses delivered to my job. SO SWEET!

Ok, I'll get to the good news! Yesterday the hubs and I went to the mall to do some shopping and decided that we would go look at puppies ...we saw some really cute puppies but none that I loved but it did gave me a bright idea ....that today we were going to go home with one! So we went to another local pet store that we knew would have the cutest puppies because they always did and we found our PUPPY and took her right home!!!!


Here is our green eyed princess Miley!!!!!!!!!! She is just too sweet ... all she does is sleep, eat, pee and poop!!!!!!  Oh and a little nipping! These pictures do not do her justice...you have to see her!!!! I'll update with better pictures as we go!

Bad Luck Charm

 Game 5
Lakers vs Celtics
June 13th, 2010


Okay, so I am officially a bad luck charm when it comes to the Lakers !!! I thought that the curse was only when I watched the games at home !! Lmao apparently NOT !!!!

Some of you may already know I was at game 5 of the NBA finals in Boston,  rooting for the Lakers! haha Yes, the Celtic fan were NOT happy to see us or hear us rooting for their rival team, but we knew what we were in for. Although, the Lakers lost ;( the game was fun... but it would have been way better to shut those Celtics fans up... but we will!!!!!! There are two games left and we are taking it!

Back to Celtic fans... man they are harsh. The chants are pretty mean and the comments are just as bad lmao... for example, when Odom took his free throw shots the whole stadium chants  "Ugly Sister, Ugly Sister, Ugly Sister" lmfao Who says that ? Why would you refer to some ones wife as the ugly sister? Pretty harsh! But what I will say is that I could feel how much these people loved their team because the energy was CRAZY!

Although there were only a few Lakers fans in the lions den, they also showed their love for there team and made it known!! Including the hub...I was so nerves because I knew what we were getting into being a Lakers fan in the Celtic stadium but my husband of course had to make it worse by wearing this shirt!!!!!!!!!!!


We got some mixed reviews from the Celtics fans ...some giving the hubs props for having the balls to were it. Some warned him not to go into the lions den with that shirt. And then there were the angry angry ones who could have killed him for wearing it. Hey he had to make a statement seeing that there weren't many Lakers fans and he sure did! What can I say he is a die hard fan!!!!!<3 


So on to the important stuff lmao my outfit lol ! I loved it !  So I didn't wear either of the outfits I posted before because I made a last minute change. I'm glad I did because the weather wasn't that great.

Here's what I wore
Express shirt - $19.00 (with coupon)
Forever21 black destroyed denim- $13.99 (on sale)
Tory Burch flats- $195.00
Forever21 chain braclet
Marc Jacobs ring

iPhone 4

     I have been anxiously waiting to hear about the iPhone 4 and it's release date. I have been reading a live blog for the last two hours on macrumorslive.com of the WWDC today. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time wishing I could actually hear or watch what Steve Jobs what introducing...but macrumorslive.com did a good job of keeping an min by min update of the conference. Here is a brief overview on when the phone is available  -----So iPhone 4 will be released on June 24th and can be pre-ordered starting June 15th! So I'm saving up some $$$ and pre-ordering that baby on June 15th... I have the first generation iphone since it came out so its def time for me to upgrade and it was definitely worth the wait. iPhone for will start at $199 for 16 GB or $299 for 23GB. It will come in either black or white. Also AT&T will allow up to 6 months of early eligibility for an iPhone 4. For more info on the phone you can go to apple.com and I am sure tons will show up. Here are a some pictures of the iPhone 4.

    My First Basketball Game

    The hubs and I are going to see Lakers vs Boston game 5 of the finals in Boston on June 13th and I am estatic about going. This will be my first NBA game and It's going to be a great, mostly because I am excited that the hubs gets to see his all time favorite team play THE LAKERS! I just get excited seeing how excited the hubs is about going, it just puts a smile on me face and I know we are going to have such a great day just the two of us. A millions things are crossing my mind like what am I going to wear and I wonder if the Kardashians are going to be there lol haha but nothing basketball related! Such a girl! I never thought I'd be so excited to go to a basketball game!




    P.S. I will definitely update you on what I am going to wear!

    UPDATE!
     
    Okay! So I've come to the conclusion that I just can't see myself all decked out in Laker gear lmao! So I'm thinking maybe something like the outfit I put together in the above picture is what I'll end up wearing ...although I will sport a flag or something of that sort on game day!
