This is our blog twenty years apart. We are a mother and daughter exactly twenty years apart and we are realizing
that we are going through so many different life
experiences, and have so many different perspectives, but
we both are truly blessed, happy, and positive about our
lives! We have such a diverse range of topics as one of us
is about to begin her life and is still figuring out who she is and who she want to be, is very career oriented, athletic,
and at the very beginning of her life adventure....and the other is very family oriented, has had a successful career, raised two young adults, and is embarking on her second time around in the mommy world with two toddler boys.
We hope you enjoy all the different perspectives, topics, and experiences we have to share and we will do our best to show you life
twenty years apart.

Matthew's Homecoming Proposal "Rocked"!
This weekend Matthew asked his girlfriend to Homecoming & these days it's not just a question but a proposal!!
He surprised her at Seven Magic Mountains which is an art exhibit in the middle of the desert. He hid behind one of the rock structures with huge balloons and a sign that said "Homecoming would ROCK if you went with me". It was adorable & his girlfriend was so surprised which made it that much more special!!
If you are in Vegas and have a chance to go see these rocks, do it! It is a fun place to take pictures and just enjoy being in the desert especially now that the weather is perfect!
I am so excited to start planning the actual Homecoming date with Matthew, it's his first and last Homecoming so I want to make it special for him! Thanks for reading and make sure you check back to for more about Homecoming 2016!

The three day diet!
So Matt & I tried the Military three day diet this past week. I do not do diets, it is one of my life rules! They just suck but I wanted to do something to get myself back on track. I stopped working out and I started eating and drinking whatever whenever and I felt ugh!! So anyway, Matt decided to do this with me. It really wasn't that bad, we didn't starve or anything but it was hard not being able to just grab a snack or go to Starbucks whenever & I wanted to quit many times but Matt helped me with the mental issue and I survived!!
This was suppose to be a fast way to lose up to 10 pounds in three days. The menu includes meat, hot dogs, ice cream, bananas, coffee, tea, lots of water & tuna. I felt full after eating the meals and I was so thankful for the ice cream dessert! I only lost 4 pounds and Matt lost 7 pounds. I worked out two of the three days and Matt did not! I am happy for him but so frustrated that I gave up Starbucks for three days to lose only 4 pounds!!
It was fun doing it together and we might do it again just because we felt better eating less than we usually would and we loved the ice cream and banana dessert! I slept better and honestly even though we had a small steak and two hot dogs in the three days, I did feel better! I noticed I had more energy and I wasn't bloated probably because I wasn't overeating and having Starbucks twice a day!!
So I would recommend this diet if you have a big weekend coming up and you want to lose a few quick pounds, I don't know what I could have done different to lose more weight but the four pounds came off my waist which made me happy!! You can find out more about this diet at http://themilitarydiet.com/military-diet-plan/
If you try it, please let me know your results!!
