Moments I want to remember forever: Part 3


 Adventures with my handsome, exploring different parts of our city that neither of us have been to.
I like to call them the "Adventures of Bryali."
This past weekend we were finally able to check out this beautiful park in North Las Vegas that we have heard about and have wanted to go to for a while now...and let me tell you it was an adventure.
You can't tell in the photos but it was crazy windy and stormy, but even with mother nature acting cray cray it was simply stunning.
We got to witness a signature Las Vegas sunset that was absolutely breathe taking and we walked around the park a bit saying hello to some of the geese and admiring the fun little attributes of this cute park.
Earlier this month we took a tour of the Neon Museum and actually learned that this park use to be a 'Divorce Ranch.'
Here's the low down...3..2..1...go:
So back in the day in order to get a divorce you had to be a resident of the state you were in, most states you had to live there for a year to be considered a resident...but good ol' Nevada only required you to live here 6 to 7 days before you were considered a resident, so people would come to Nevada and stay at this ranch for 6 to 7 days so they could become a resident, and then bada-bing-bada-boom they could get their divorce.
Only in Vegas, right?

So it was interesting to walk around and look at the beauty of this park knowing that little fact.
Especially because a lot of people now have their weddings here.
 Which I don't blame them, it's a perfect location for an outside wedding, especially because it doesn't feel like you're in Vegas, and it's simply gorgeous.

It's little adventures like these that I treasure the most.
I love creating memories with him.

Happy Thursday!

Life Update: Summer, School, & a Wedding

Hello...is this thing on...
I've decided that vlogs have become my new form of blogging.

I think sometimes it's easier for me to verbally dump out my thoughts than to write them out at times.
I am known to be looooong winded and hold a conversation...even if it's over nothing.
(My interview with my friend Shelly for me to become a Fuse leader was 4 hours long...)

Where there's a person, there is a conversation to be had...even if that person is a computer screen. :)

Any who, I figured since I haven't blogged/vlogged for a while and since SO much has been happening in this little life of mine, that I would update y'all (any one who can handle my long winded-ness) on what has happened, is happening, and is coming in the future.
Check it outtt.


Until next time. 
Adios

My little brother

I never had a younger sibling growing up.
Then my dad met this sweet wonderful woman and they fell in love and got married 5 years ago.

That's when this little man entered into my life, and it alllll changed.



We joke with each other.
We vent to each other.
We sing ridiculous made up songs to each other.
We give each other advice.
We both love God, and serve at our church.
We are just plain goofy with each other. 
I am so thankful for my little brother and our unique relationship.
I wouldn't trade our relationship for anything in the world.



Here is just a little glimpse into our relationship.

Life update via a storage unit

Spent my morning at a storage unit watching movers move my grandma's final things into storage, which finalizes her move to Las Vegas.
::Whoop Whoop::

So I thought I would take the few hours I had sitting around and do a little life update via a storage unit.

Enjoy!

Moments I want to remember forever: Part 2

Los Angeles trip with my love.

Uneven sidewalks, donuts for lunch, flamingos, freezing while waiting to see Ellie Goulding, walking literally every where, running to catch our bus, literally hiking to The Griffith Observatory, holding my hand every where we went.

I've never been so swept off my feet.

53 in Heaven


 Happy Birthday to the sweetest angel I could ask for.
Today my sweet momma would have been 53.
Even though she isn't here for us to sing to and smother in kisses and sweet hugs, my sisters and I still lit a candle in her honor and sang her happy birthday.
I'm still always caught off guard when my eyes well up with tears. 
It's not that I never feel sad, and I that I don't cry, but it is always when I least expect it.
I didn't expect to start crying while singing Happy Birthday with my sisters, but listening to both of my sisters sing and thinking about how my mom isn't here to see us grow up and experience our lives with us was overwhelming for me.
Just another reminder to myself and for others around me to be thankful for the time you do have with people, especially your loved ones. Be patient with them, love them, respect them, and show them grace even when it's difficult...because you never know when they will no longer be there for you to call or to hug and say I love you to.

So, Happy 53rd Birthday my sweet Neitha Rose.

You will forever be my angel.
<3

A rose is a rose is a Neitha Rose
