Hello from sunny Las Vegas! This week we are out of the office and traveling for our first wedding of 2017! We traveled most of the day yesterday and arrived late last night, and having never been here are excited to experience Vegas for the first time. First priority – going to the pool to enjoy this 80 degree weather :)

Last week, all we were wishing for was a snow day, but unfortunately that didn’t happen and we spent the week extra busy on top of it. Besides our normal meet ups and weekly tasks, we were getting ahead to be unplugged and focus on our dear friends wedding.

And now some musings before we head out to explore:

• I made one of my new favorite appetizers this week and shared it on my insta-story. They are brie bites from Joy the Baker, but instead of sweet jam like she uses I swapped them out for a sundried tomato pesto and they were delicious.
• On that note, one of the things I always manage to do is make a recipe I’ve never tried before right before I need to serve it to a big group. I need to remember to test them out first. Not they are ever failures but there are definitely improvements that could have been made :)
• My favorite thing about flying is that it forces you to turn off technology. The idea that you can do nothing but sit and read for hours is one of my favorite past times. Plus I’m stocked up on some new fun books!
• I’ve finally crossed the threshold from a fan to obsessed this week with spin class and invested in my first pair of clip in bike shoes. They are randomly shipping from Spain though so won’t be here for a couple weeks but I can’t wait to see the difference they make!
• Lastly, I finally watched La La Land! It was so good, but ended differently than I thought. Still I loved the nod to old Hollywood and the romanticism of it all! I definitely recommend it.

That’s all the musings for today! Sorry if I’m a little slower at responding this week – I’m off to enjoy the sunny desert! Here’s to the first wedding of 2017!
