Celebrating 7 years!



To celebrate our anniversary, we went to Las Vegas. (Thanks to Brittney, Brent, and my parents for watching our kids.) It was so much fun to get away. I enjoyed not having children with me for once.

We stayed in the Luxor. We have never been there before so it was fun and different.


We walked the strip, the first night, there were so many crazy drunks there. I think it's funny what people will wear in Vegas. I think they just think anything goes and it's kinda funny to see what they come up with.

Apparently, the lions didn't get full after eating Roy....or was it Siegfried.

We had dinner at the ESPN Zone. It was my first time there. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was delish. I don't recommend going on game night like we did. We waited forever!


It was really hot there. I loved it!! I wish I could have brought the weather back with me. It was nice to go to the pool and just relax and not stress about the kids. I could have gotten used to that.


Ryan took me to the "old strip" for my first time. While we were there I played my first real game of roulette. It was fun. I only lost $2 over a 45 minute period. I expected to lose my $20 bucks, so I was proud to walk away only $2 down. Ryan and I look at gambling as you would a video game. We only put money down that we plan on losing. I think of it as going to nickelcade. You put money in the machine to play, knowing that you will leave without that money.

We saw this Dodge Ram for sale in front of the Hard Rock hotel. It was so huge. It could have ran me over without ever knowing it. Of course we stayed out late every night. I loved being up late and having things to do.

It was nice to come home and be able to look down again and most of all I really enjoyed being able to take a deep breath.

I think I know why you are only 75% Mormon now, you little gambler you. And that's nice that Ryan got to pose in front of a picture of his famous cousins on a building. ha ha.
Happy Anniversary, I'm sure you two deserved the break.
