What on earth were we thinking...seriously.

And some more photos

Kory insists we need a new pose...I kinda like this one.

My new favorite photo of us...and yes, I have a shirt on underneath the purple; it's just the same color as my skin...

Ask me why I wore a mini-skirt and flip flops to a canyon...because they look great with my brown zebra sweater, that's why.

Currently my favorite dress...with my favorite guy...aw shucks...

Ansel Adams wannabe...

Red Rock Canyon

This one is for my brother...

Happy Birthday to Me!

My day started out with a gentle kiss on the head followed by "Happy Birthday, I love you." It was 5:40 in the morning, but I can't imagine a sweeter way to wake up.

When I stumbled out to the kitchen to get my coffee, on the table I saw a paper plate note that read, "Happy Birthday, my love. I love you so much. Thank you for marrying me. Love, Kory."

You can't start a day much better than that, even though the weather wasn't cooperating.

I had a call from my mom and a call from my Noggin who gave me an invitation to come to his house to eat the brownies they were making me for my birthday. I hope they were good.
At school, my awesome co-workers gave me this:

And tonight, Kory let me open the HUGE box that's been sitting on the living room floor in front of the fireplace. In it was a plum colored cable knit beret and these....

And on the bottom of the box were these....

And THEN, Kory took me here...

I can't even begin to tell you how much I ate, but for someone who lives a relatively vegetarian life with the occasional turkey burger thrown in for good luck, I ate more meat than a cheetah in the zoo at feeding time. UN...BE...LIEVE...ABLE... I never knew a cow tasted so good.

And to top it all off, we ate this...

wow.

It was a good birthday.

I love being 37.

And these were only on the plane...

Guess it doesn't matter if man calls it Sin City;

I think God had a bigger part in making this place...

We even got a rainbow from Him!

Kory and I are going to Red Rock Canyon tomorrow. Can't WAIT to get those photos!

Honeymooniversary...Thanks, Uncle Ray.

On Tuesday, Kory and I will be leaving rainy, cold Kansas City and going here...

the Hilton Grand Vacation Club on the Las Vegas Strip. Please know that I will be spending most of my time here...see that chair off to the far left? It's mine...get out of it. NOW.
Since Kory is well, Kory, I know we'll be here a few times, too...the girl with the booty kinda looks like me, but not really. I'm a hot mess when I work out, and I NEVER keep my hair down. BAD experience on a weight machine...
And Kory is SOOOO much hotter and buffer than that guy...

And then afterwards, I most assuredly will be here. Hopefully with a fruity concoction that has a pineapple or two on the top and one fantastic book. Or not. But at least a bottle of suntan lotion.

I'll post my own pictures soon. Gotta find my bathing suit right now!

In 10 days, I will celebrate my first wedding anniversary.
Other than Aunt Jenny, I have loved no other name more than "Mrs. Kraft."
I really love my husband, and I thank the Lord for giving him to me.
