MFP: HOMEMADE CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP RECIPE

Hello Fancies!

Had a crazy busy week in New Jersey but couldn't wait to get home and see my handsome man and Lola. When I got home it was nice to put together a nice hot bowl of homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup and snuggle on the couch together.

While in Jersey I was only able to snap a few photos while driving. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go out and do any touristy things while here.

Right before I arrived in Jersey, I got my first leasing! I am SO excited. Let's hope I get a renter here soon. I'll keep you all posted!



MFP: VEGAS BABY!

Had a blast in Vegas this past weekend. Food, shows, gambling, LOTS of wine!

Check out some of the fun in the pics below!

Bob had this tomahawk pork chop...never have I seen anything like this before...lol!

The gorgeous decor of Cesar's Palace:







Monte Carlo has some artful statue's walking up to the entrance:

Fountain in front of Monte Carlo:

The Aria has the best atmosphere as well as amazing SMELL (I can only explain the smell as a soft vanilla floral fragrance pumped into the air...amazing!):

On Sunday we were invited to a Birthday Bash at the Wynn's private cabana poolside. The tab had to be $7,000 minimum...omg! I asked how much for a bottle of wine, they said it would be $495! It was definitely a once in a lifetime event...too rich for my blood.



After the amazing cabana fun we decided to find a place to eat for dinner...as you can see we are just a little tipsy in this picture!



When we first got to the Aria, Bob was a little excited:

We went to Holly Madison's Peepshow on Saturday night...front row seats...Bob was excited about that part! So glad we were able to see Holly before she has her baby. From our seats you could definitely see her baby bump and how she was trying to keep it covered up.



One of my favorite things about Vegas is that you can have roadies while walking around:

Found the Tiffany's store in the Cesar's Shopping Forum area where I was able to try on a $65,000 ring. The sales guy wouldn't let me try on the one I LOVED which was a 5.5 carat ring that cost $500,000:

Stopped for lunch at Wolfgang Pucks and had the best Sangria in the world:

One of the coolest features of our room was when you first walked in the curtains automatically open, the TV turns on to music, and the lights all turn on. The whole room is electronic and can be controlled by a iPad size remote next to the bed...so neat:

Overall the trip was amazing, and I am so glad my Dirty 30 turned out so well!

MFP: WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?

Hey fancies!

I've been super busy and have kept trying to update for a while and finally found some time here at O'Hare airport, while I wait for my connecting flight.

First off, we bought a house!!! Our first time building!!! I cannot wait. I'll post pics along the way to show the progression.

We had an amazing trip to Chicago to visit the fam in mid August. We went to 'Tommy Guns,' which was a blast! My mother surprised me with an amazing birthday surprise...see pic below. It made my 30th so memorable :-) I will forever remember it because of her!

Well, since my last post, we went on a trip, went to Bob's mothers funeral (which was one of the most painful things to watch Bob have to go through), bought a house (which I was the agent for), and last but not least...I got a promotion at work!! All of these are reasons why I've been super swamped and unable to post recently.

We've had some good moments and some sad over the past month, but I am hoping things are on the up & up from here! I'm heading out to Philadelphia this week and am attempting to start p90x officially! We will see how it goes.

Stay tuned...I'll be posting much sooner this time.
