Viva Las Vegas

Adam and I's trip was absolutely what the doctor ordered!

We left early Friday (6/17) morning and arrived in Vegas at 2:30 pm.  We checked into our room and quickly hit the Liquidity Bar at the Luxor, where my sweet friend Rhonda works.

She gave us amazing deals on our cocktails, which in Vegas, is a good thing!  Instead of 10 bucks a pop, they were comped.  Shortly after we ate some Mexican food for lunch.  A fellow classmate of mine, Henry, text me and said he and his girlfriend were going to be there later that night.  We then took a walk to the MGM where we checked out the infamous lions.  We found a great sushi restaurant, of course I can't remember what the name of it was, and had an awesome dinner there.  Adam and I went to the room at about 8:30 and took about a 45 minute "nap".  10 o'clock came around when Henry and Britt showed up.  We had several more cocktails before Adam and I went to bed at about 2. 

Saturday we slept in until 10:30, it was nice!  We had breakfast, where I met "Vanilla Ice", then we hit the pool for about 2 or 3 hours.  We really enjoyed the pool along with the sunshine.  Afterwards we went back to Liquidity to have a few more drinks and say goodbye to Rhonda.  Afterwards we, I, went shopping.  I got several new tops and an awesome new bathing suit.  We had dinner and met up with Henry and Britt.  We all went to Freemont Street, which quickly became the high light of my trip!  I loved all the freak shows and celeb look-a-likes!

After that we rode the New York New York roller coaster, which is something I do every time I go to Vegas.  It was a blast, as usual!

Vegas was great but I was so glad to get home to our daughter and pups!  Bella loved the fairy outfit I bought her, L O V E D I T!  

I don't have any class tomorrow, thank God!  But... I do have a communications exam online, and math homework to do.

Til next time! 

Summer is in full swing!!

Vegas Baby!!

I've been dying to go to Vegas for the past year or so.  So, we've got the extra money, let's go!  Our wonderful friends Brendan and Sam are going to watch the dogs and Bella for us next weekend (17-19) so we can get away for the weekend.  It's about a 5 hour drive so it's perfect for the weekend.  Just Adam and I, no friends, or family, just us!  Not that I would mind having others join us, but it's nice for us to be alone too.  We're staying at the Luxor, that's where I always stay because I tend to get the best rates there.  I'll be posting pictures afterwards for sure.

I booked our flights to Florida in September today.  1034 bucks for the 3 of us, round trip.  When did flying become so damn expensive?  We're leaving September 3rd and coming home September 12th.  We'll be at my parents until the 9th before we drive to Decatur Alabama to attend my dear friend Laura's wedding.  On the 11th we'll drive back to Florida and then fly home on Monday.  It'll be a bust 2nd half of the visit, but the first 5 days will be boating, beaching, drinking and eating.  I'm very excited to see my momma and step dad, and hoping my step sisters will drive down from Columbus.

Summer classes are going better than I expected.  My communications professor is HILARIOUS and so much fun.  He has the best stories (examples) for everything he teaches.  He keeps our attention very well that's for sure!  My math is going well too, algebra sucks, but I think I am finally getting the hang of it.  My good friend Billie is in the same class so it's nice to spend time with her, in or out of class.  Hoping for another 4.0 semester but we'll see how it goes.  My first math exam is on Tuesday. 

Other than that, life is good :)

Til next time!
