Maybe you're new to the blog, maybe you've been following my inconsistency for a while. Either way, welcome! I found this tag/questionnaire and thought it'd be fun to do. Get to know me! Some answers you might know, and some might surprise you! Let's go!

MOODBOARD FOR MY NEW KITCHEN (Inspiration Pics Included)

We are currently in the process of buying our second home! Very exciting things happening in the Pineda household. Lucky for us (mostly me), we are renovating the entire thing. I'm talking full gut, moving the staircase, blowing the kitchen/master everything kind of reno. Yeah, its more than your typical "fixer upper" but that only means you can design it how you want. I've mostly picked all of the finishes because my husband is a true saint and is letting me take the reigns on this one. And by letting me, I mean, after months of annoying and begging, he's finally given in. Yesssssss. Thanks honey! So I thought I'd share the kitchen choices with you. The demo hasn't started yet and I still have to make a few more decisions but this moodboard is coming together so beautifully. If you're wondering, I made it on Paint 2 on Mac.

MY QUICK 2 DAY TRIP TO CANADA

I had 2 days where Ryan's team went to Canada (the same place we played 2 years ago) and they wouldn't go back up to play them until the end of August when I'll already be home. So I knew I had to make the drive up. An easy 3.5 hours.

P.s. this post is FULLY picture loaded. 

It was a very quick trip but so awesome. When I arrived, I met with my favorite Canadian sister, Krissy, and we headed to eat at Le Garage. They have THE BEST chicken fingers and fries I've ever had. Like ever. Its always a must to eat there when I get to Winnipeg, Canada.

GETTING ACCLIMATED IN FARGO

We've made it! Ryan and I took a cross-country road trip from Las Vegas, Nevada to Fargo, North Dakota. I mean look at that snowy view of Colorado! It was breath taking. The whole drive seemed fairly short despite the 24+ hours spent in the car. To pass the time, we listened to the Serial Season 2 podcast and although was an interesting case, it was pretty disappointing. If you haven't listened to Season 1, GOOGLE NOW! But I'll spare you for Season 2 because its a pretty big let down. We also ate Chick-fil-A like 3 times. It was glorious and I realized that I could eat it everyday for the rest of my life if I wanted to. Good thing Vegas is getting one!

We stopped in Denver the first night and hiked their enormously large zoo the next morning before heading to Omaha, Nebraska. That bear was beautiful and slightly terrifying all at the same time. Its enclosure gate was really close to the public so I was sure it was going to take a lunge at us a few times.

We decided not to do anything in Omaha, and that may or may not be because there was nothing to do (we didn't want to go to the zoo two days in a row - although, I was all for it!). And the last day we made the trip to Fargo and met our host family. I forgot to save all my Snapchats (minsuepin - follow me) but you should have seen our car: COVERED in bug guts, quite the view. But the Camry is all washed and we've settled in with our host family.

We really got lucky....well, we seem to always do (kind of) but I always worry that we won't get along with the family. My own insecurities, I guess. But I'm always proved wrong because we hit the jackpot this time around! I can't speak about much because we've only been here 3 days, but I can already tell its going to be a great summer. AND they have a dog. I mean seriously, I couldn't ask for more. Maybe more dogs but I guess not everyone has 4 dogs like us. I think I could do 5....just kidding. Maybe.

Ryan's first home exhibition game is tonight and the weather is anything but nice. Wind chills at 59 degrees and lowering (just kill me). Why is it not summer here yet?

I'm going to try and blog more this summer since I have a lot of free time. Tomorrow, I'm going to Winnipeg, Canada to visit some friends and watch Ryan's games. Its going to be a blast so stay tuned for that post next!
