I realized that I didn't do what I had promised in letting people know about when our house sold!--Wellllllll, after much tribulation and some drama and some Fran, it sold!! Officially!! How amazing right? We were so grateful for the outcome considering what people have been going through the last couple of years when it comes to their homes and trying to sell and all that. It was such a blessing to have it sell so quickly! I am excited for the family that bought it-- it's a cute family with two little ones and I know it will be a perfect fit for them.
So where are we now? Well, Mike moved all of our things from Vegas into a house we are now renting in Sugar House. I got to come spend a week with him there, and he had moved everything in and put everything away before I even got there.. He is so incredible. I got to walk into a home that was just for us and our crazy dogs... It's pretty dang cute. It's one of those character older homes in that area. Very fun. I love it. I can't wait until I am living there with them! It's a challenge for sure on many levels being here-- but I know it is only going to make me a stronger person, a stronger wife, and make me appreciate everything about being home and love Mike even more.. (if that's even possible.)
It's really hard not being there now--but I can't believe how soon this journey in Las Vegas will be ending!! Sometimes I just think about how the last little bit has just flown by! And to think there are only 5 more weeks is just crazy... Totally crazy. There are only 25 more show days--which means only 50 more shows to go!! (That may sound like a lot-- but we just celebrated our 1200th show this week, so 50 is nothing..)
So, until then, I am still in Vegas living with my sister-from-another-mister, Ms. Stacey Clark! It makes being away from Mike bearable having her as a roommate. She is the best!
So I guess I am going to end this by saying, if you're around the ones you love, be grateful for it. You might be in a situation later on like I am now wishing every minute of the day you could give the person you love a kiss, laugh with them, or feel like you're there living your life and enjoying those precious moments together. Let's all try to be a little more grateful for what we have and enjoy whatever is in front of us.
**Viva Elvis-- I love you all so much and let's just end this with a bang huh??!
*Mike- I love you more than anything in the world and I cannot wait until I'm around you so much you wanna to just scream. ;) Haha but really-- I love you and miss you more than you know. Love you baby xoxo

Lately!
A lot has "gone down" over the last month and a half!
Mike and I are in the process of selling our house. I am sure I will have another entry to tell the end of this since we are still in limbo right now. What IS good is that we have only put up the house about 2 weeks ago, and already have had offers on it.. and we are insanely grateful for what they have been. Right now we are just waiting to see if this offer is going to go through. We already had the first people we signed off on pull out- but have already moved forward with another offer. We have had the inspector and the appraisal person come this week, so I imagine we will find out more after the weekend. Everything is going to work out the way it is supposed to (we totally know that) but we definitely are hoping that this works out. I'll keep you updated. Don't you worry. ;)
Another piece of news is that I am finally back into "Viva Elvis"!! I have been out since the end of February with a herniated disc in my neck, and a small fracture in my lumbar spine.. But I'M BACK!! It was my first week dancing in the show and it has been so wonderful to dance again. I am especially grateful to be back because time is running short at Viva E! We only have twelve more Sundays til the show closes. It's BANANAS! You've got to understand, I have been a part of this show and cast since May 2009, so it's crazy to be done with it in just 3 short months!! It will be sad to say goodbye to people that are completely family now, but we have made lifelong friends, and I know people are excited about what will come next in their lives! I know I am!
Mike is a total BAMF and has started a lacrosse comp team, and a program that is going to be having camps and clinics and all that. It's called "Top Guns Lacrosse". I don't know really the logistics, but he's been working so hard on it I HAVE to mention it. It's been so exciting seeing him work so hard on something he is so passionate about. It's amazing how he really wants it to be something that benefits kids who love lacrosse as much as he did while he was growing up, or to give them a path to get them to that "lacrosse-is-my-favorite-thing-ever" place. He lives in that place. ;) But really though, I've been able to see him play a couple of times and he really rocks at it. Super sexy-hot sport. ow owwww!! Hahaha but you can just see how much he enjoys it. I have also been able to see him coach, and you can just see that he is a guy that really wants to make the kids better.. I know that anyone that is going to be involved in "Top Guns" is going to seriously benefit from it!! Let me know if you want more details on it for friends or brothers you have that would want to be involved!! Or visit the Top Guns Facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/TopGunLacrosse
Right now we are back doing the long distance thing again while he is working and coaching in Utah and I am finishing my contract down here in Sin City. It was so amazing having him be here with me over the last bit though. We got to spend serious quality time together since I was out of the show, and I think we both are grateful for that time now that we are back to only seeing one another a couple of days at a time. It's all good though!! I know it has only made us stronger as a couple. Yes- you should be jealous of us. Jelly jelly jellyfish! ;)
I guess that is all for now!!! Smile folks. :)

Tomorrow!!
Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new chapter in our lives!! Finally, Mike is moving in with me in Vegas!! It's been a long time coming..it feels like anyway..but we have both come to the conclusion that we have become stronger through this experience. It was pretty rough at times, especially since I'm not dancing/working right now- so I was pretty much a crazy person. (haha I'm surprised he still wants to move to be honest...lol) I'm glad I didn't scare him off, because I absolutely, positively could not live without this man. I'm such a lucky girl to have such a wonderful guy to share my life with.
Him being here is going to for sure be an adjustment for both of us, but I think we are both ready for it. I know I am!
We don't think we will be here for very long.. My show is closing at the end of August, and it doesn't look like we are going to grow roots in Las Vegas. It's been fun being here- and I'm sure we will have fun here together, but I'm looking forward to starting somewhere fresh with my hubby. Wherever we end up it really doesn't matter, because anywhere will be great because we just have so much dang fun together!! Until then though, we'll soak up the sun and just enjoy starting our journey together. I'm so excited to finally be living with my bestie!! It's such a wonderful feeling, knowing that tonight is the last night we are spending without one another!!! Yayyy!!!

Yes- it is wonderful!
(So I'm just going to start out by saying.. I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to this whole, "blogging" thing.. Ha! So bear with me.)
Life has changed dramatically for both Mike and I over the last couple of months. I think we have both just been amazed by how life can work out when you're doing and living the way you know is right, and how the Lord can bless you when you do. It's incredible to me still that I am married to the most wonderful man in the world, and what's more- is he thinks the same of me.
Most of you know how we met years ago and have been friends for quite some time... and at one point we just looked at each other and said, "too bad we couldn't have figured it out sooner".. but honestly we both KNOW that we wouldn't be the people we are today if we hadn't gone through all the trials and experiences that we faced before telling each other "I do". Life is insanely crazy/hilarious/brutal/wonderful/ridiculous all at the same time.. but boy,it sure all works out the way it is supposed to. I am so grateful for everything that has happened in our lives to bring us together (finally!!) forever. We are every cliche, cheesy movie, and sappy song you've ever heard. And I LOVE it. <3
