Quick Update

Omar and I are in the process of saving to buy a house. I'm so excited! We have been dreaming of that day for 3 years, ever since we lived with his family. We would stay up all night watching HGTV. It is almost here! Married life is wonderful! We've both been pretty busy. Omar decided to change his major from Business Administration to Computer Science, while I continue on with Early Childhood. This is my "in between" semester, where I'm taking only Spanish. That ONE class is enough for me, let me tell ya! It is intense and I don't think I would be able to focus on any other class. Glad I took it when I did - everything happens for a reason! Better finish getting ready for work. I'm loving the one year olds, even though they wear me out beyond any other age! <3, Kaleigh

Our Honeymoon!

We had the most AMAZING time on our honeymoon! We stopped in Las Vegas first, which was pretty fun. We didn't have time to do much because we were worn out by the time we got there. We stayed at the Treasure Island. We LOVED our room - it was gorgeous! Very modern and clean. The next day we began our journey to California. What a blast. While we were there we ate at a few really yummy restaurants, went to Disneyland, Newport Beach, and enjoyed the pools at our hotel.




This photo is the view from our hotel - Hotel Menage. We LOVED the hotel! The only problem I had with it was the bedframe... I banged my dang shin on it two times in the middle of the night! Ouch! But other than that, we LOVED the hotel. The staff was amazingly helpful and very kind. The room was beautiful. We just loved it.


The next morning we toured the pool area before breakfast. It was beautiful!!


After breakfast at Ihop, we returned to the hotel for some pool time! It was wonderfully relaxing to swim, read by the pool, and just spend time with my new husband!


Omar lounging by the pool - ahhh, this is the life!


Just finished up our favorite ride - the Grizzly River Run! Omar is a daredevil, using the camera on water rides.

I will add more photos later! But we had the most amazing time. We are so blessed to have spent so much wonderful time together. Maybe we will make this vacation thing an annual (or quarterly) thing! I think our brains needed a rest from all the wedding planning!!

With love,

Our wedding day is drawing near so quickly! We started full-swing planning a few days after Christmas. During that time we have booked our cake, photographer, florist, officiant and church. We already had our rings, my dress and headpiece, shoes, etc., and reception site. I'm a little nervous about how much room is going to be available in our reception site, but I'm sure it will all work out!

We have started the Dave Ramsey plan to get out of debt. So far it is working great, but I made my first budget since I was 18, and nearly had a panic attack when I realized how much unnecessary money we spend. I really need to downgrade the satellite package, but I feel like I won't even watch the TV if I don't have these channels.

I had such a wonderful Christmas in Colorado. It was so nice to spend it with my family. Yvette even came with, which made it even more fun!

I'll write more later. I just wanted to write a quick update. I want to get back into blogging, but I also want to erase a bunch of the old ones I have online. Not quite sure what I'm going to do yet, but this one will definitely stay online. Whether I write in it will be an entirely different story.
