We have a YARD!!
After months of living with a dirt lot we FINALLY got our sprinklers in and and our grass laid. Yay! We can finally enjoy the nice weather from our own backyard and have BBQs etc. I'm so excited!! A couple of the neighbors came over to enjoy the new backyard with us and see what have done, as they know.... dirt yards a HELL!! hehe
I have also had the chance to do some gardening in the past few weeks. I grew my herbs from seed and by placing them on my back patio, they are taking off, now that the backyard is almost done, I need to do some BBQing to use up some of those herbs.
I also planted my garden last weekend and it's AWESOME!! It's 15' x 5', I thought it would be more that enough room, but it turns out that its smaller than I thought. maybe next year I will make it bigger or grow less items. But for now I can't wait for everything to start growing so I can start EATING!!

New Addition to Our Family
It's been a long time since I wrote on here last but I have been super busy with work, the wedding, working on our yard and we have a new addition to our family. My sister, Cassie, gave birth to a healthy little baby boy on May 26th. His name is Daniel Rey Venegas, he was 7lbs 13oz and 19 3/4 inches long. Mom and baby are doing very well.

Easter With Michael
We went to my mom's house for Easter. Cassie and mom set up and egg hunt for Michael.
Time to hunt for Eggs!
ADD kicked in and he wanted to play in his truck instead.
Grandma helping Michael find eggs.
Oooo! An egg!
He made it about half way around the house and then we had to pick up the rest of the eggs. Hehe
Great stash of eggs. Below is all the hard boiled eggs, minus grandpas, cuz Michael threw it at him. Hehe
Michael blowing bubbles with mom.
Oh my gosh!! SO EXCITING! BUBBLES!!!

Oh my gosh!! SO EXCITING! BUBBLES!!!Dress Shopping Was a Success!!
Last week I went dress shopping in Spokane with my mom and my sister.
The first store we went to was horrible, the lady was a b***h! She refused to help. She kept telling us that I "wouldn't fit in the dressse" or "it couldn't be ordered in time" and kept putting dresses back. All the dresses she pulled for me to try on wouldn't fit and the dresses she claimed I couldn't fit in, zipped right up and fit perfectly. It was such a horrible experience I was in tears while trying on dresses and was NOT having fun. My mom, finally, spoke to someone and the gal was pulled from "helping" us.
We went to a designer's dress store and found a beautiful dress, unfortunately it was a size 6 and I couldn't try it on. But they had a dress from the same designer on the rack in my size that had the same shape and everything, just not the lace design that I was attracted to. So we tried it on and it fit PERFECT and we held up the dress that I like and it was BEAUTIFUL. It was definitely THE dress.
Just to make sure it was THE dress, we went back to David's Bridal and tried on the dresses that I liked and a few more to see if I was making the right choice. After about an hour there, I felt, in my heart, I had made the right choice.
I spoke with the designer the next day and we had to rush order the dress, but fortunately they cut the rush fee in half for me.
I am making payments and once it is paid off they will ship me my dress, which will be ready by the end of May. I'm SO excited!!
The Front of the dress. I love how its just long enough for a beach wedding.
The back. It laces up.
Close up of the bodice. See how it is a sweetheart shape at the top.
The pretty design of the dress, the sparkle and the lace. LOVE IT!!
