Reno Rodeo 2010

The Reno Rodeo! I love the rodeo. I love wearing a cowboy hat, I love the rodeo queens and all the glitz and glam that all the cowgirls girl wear and most of all I love cowboy boots. I don't have any right now because they are pretty expensive but one day I will own a beautiful pair!

Today we went up to the lake. It was sunny but the wind was blowing so we only hung out for a few hours before heading back to Reno. No matter the wheat her it is always so beautiful there.

Bike Ride

Today we rode our bike to the bird nature preserve near out house. It was pretty neat. It was a marsh land with lots of birds. The bike ride was just the right length and we had a great time. We have decided to take more bike rides together!

There was a long dock that went out into the water. Lots of ducks and birds.

And look after 4 years my dress still fits!

Here are Matt, Hal and Kyle working on a big pile of crab legs!

Today was our 4th anniversary! We had a great time. We went with Hal, Cara and Kyle and celebrated in true Reno fashion...a seafood buffet! It was really fun we had dinner and toodled around the casino went to a few bars. It was great to be with friends and have a good time. Here's a little secret...we both actually forgot it was our anniversary, well technically Matt actually remembered first. We were on the ohone talking about when bills were due ( real life right!) and he said " hey isn't to day the 11th, isn't today our anniversary!" So even though we forgot it still turned out to be great and he was really thankful that it wasn't just him that forgot:)

Wins today

ugh they feel a little on the low side compared to Monday.

Completed my financial aid documents ( I will literally have to sell a kidney and our first born to ever be out of debt to the government, but by god I'll have an education)
Went to dinner with my friend Katrina- it was fun, we went to the casino. She lives in a very chic single girl apartment downtown so we just walk.
I am going to go do my Wii after I get done with this post. Especially since I ate out twice today.
Made someone laugh :)
Looked cute!
Ok so now that I got through that I fell better, there were more wins in there then I originally thought. Oh 1 more, I didn't get on the scale a single time yesterday, I'm getting a little obsessed with it and I need to take a break from those numbers.
So whats your win today?

Count your wins...and leave the losses..

you already lost them anyways right? So I am going to do a week of wins. I get to choose what my win is, there is no real definition other than I say it is! You can make your own wins. Maybe you didn't eat that handful of M&M's ( you only ate like 5 instead OK) or you emptied the dishwasher before the sink filled up with dirties or even something big. It is just a good motivational tool and I am going to practice it.
Wins today:
Started summer school!
Rode the spin bike 15 miles: that is not easy and I did that in an hour! I am working toward a goal of 300 miles!
Ate all my Jenny Craig food instead of eating out!
Finished my homework.
Blogged my wins:)
Your turn...whats your win today?

hangin' in Reno
This weekend was really nice. I went spinning and then came home and did a little yard work with Matt. We went out the the Legends, which is like an out door shopping mall, and shopped around. We then met up with our friends and had dinner on the patio. The sun was shining and the breeze was just right. We could see all of Reno from our table. I had an ice cold margarita (or 2) and it was very enjoyable.
