Sunday fun!

Last night I was up late, yes burning the candle at both ends. Watching movies and hanging out with a boy. That is good right? Today was a fun day at church. We had combined meetings all day. Nicky was teaching Sunday School ~ with a lot of help from someone else, who had lots to say. I love church.

During Relief Society one of our friends Julie was so enthralled with the lesson that she was practicing her signature for when she gets married. Then offering suggestions for Nicky's new signature. It was just one of those days when we struggled to focused.

I am sitting here waiting for Nathan to come over. He just flew in from Phoenix and needs to buy a new suitcase... Ahh the joys of traveling. I am excited to get out and do some more traveling. Suzanne, Cheri, and I have been planning our Alaskan Cruise. Fun fun!! Then off to D.C. for Nicky's wedding and maybe an Arizona trip. Life is great :D

Saturday and Sunday in Vegas....

Saturday was amazing in Vegas. We woke up, after minimal amounts of sleep, and headed down the pool for some sun chasing. Bikini on, chase bed, hot tub, and chasing the sun around. It was over 70 degrees Fahrenheit and it felt so nice to have the sun on my skin.

We decided after a few hours of fabulous laziness to go eat some yummy In & Out. I have never seen a line like that before. You have all the fans from all over, who were here for the basketball, lining up.


So filled with food we could go out for some more adventures. Nicky, Rachel, and I went all over the strip. We went on a Gondola ride, with a singing driver. He was hilarious. Had an Italian name, but was raised in France.

We had a bit of a hard time trying to find Nicky her Vegas souvenir. We parked in the MGM grand and totally could not find an exit from the Casino. Seriously the are built to keep you trapped inside and lose all your money there. We finally got out and raced to a little tourist trap for some fun Vegas memorabilia.

We got back to the hotel and met up with Marj and Kirsten to get ready to go out for the night. We decided that we were going to go find this Thai Restaurant. It was half an hour away from the strip, and when we got there, it was a take out. So off we went to Macaroni Grill. Dinner was great, even if it was getting later.

We drove back to the strip and headed out to a club. We met my friend Britt and his friend to go dancing. The club was so packed and there were sweaty bodies all over the place.

We had a good time dancing till 3am. Coming home the feet were sore, but it was well worth it. We had to be checked out of the hotel by noon, and Nicky and I wanted to go to church. We stopped by a YSA ward that meets at UNLV. It was fun.

Nicky and I then went to the hospital to meet up with Amber Kohntopp Waldren. Her baby was in hospital, while they were out visiting with family from Georgia. It was great to meet her hubby, but so good to catch up. I miss my wonderful friends from the mission that I don't see often.

We all drove home and had a fabulous trip back to Utah. We left behind the warm weather and came back to the chill. Ahh well life in Utah is great.

Vegas Baby!!!! Friday Night - The Truth about Wouded Wilderbeats

I was sitting at the computer waiting for my phone to ring... Marj called and she was there to pick me up. Marj, her friend Kirsten, and I were on our way to meet Rachel and Nicky in Vegas. We drove down to Cedar City (a small town of no consequence in Southern Utah.) We were having a bikini stop. After bikini's were purchased, we made it for dinner. Lets just say that white trash was out en-force. The group behind us had a huge fight with table slapping, storming off, yelling behaviour. Oh is was quality and then she came back for more.

The trip down was not too long and when we saw the lights of Vegas the excitement just grew. We struggled to find our hotel and after driving around the strip a bit, we were all checked in. The hot tub closed at 11:00pm, so we were devastated. We wanted to get the bikini's out.

Rachel and Nicky met us at the hotel after watching a BYU basketball game. We decided to head out on the town and see Vegas. A guy Kurtis, that i met online, came and was our tour guide. He is freaking hilarious and drives a hot mustang.

We all went through the Bellagio and waited for the water fountains to come on. Apparently they are not on after 1 am. 'Sigh'. We wondered around and stumbled onto a very drunk English Man. He proceeded to give Kurtis advice on what ways he could hit on me. Needless to say it was a hilarious conversation, but still a little embarrassing. We have been laughing about it since then. Kurtis gave me some ideas about real life in Vegas.

We went out for dessert at 3am which was great. Through out the whole night, we found different men who we totally would hit on if we were in the mood. Well not really, they were all the scary looking men. Marjory ended up with a midget in her pocket. We were all very jealous. Kurtis introduced us to the term Wounded Wilderbeasts. They are the girls who are staggering around, dressed up, looking all lost and waiting to be picked up. There were 1,000's of them wondering around the strip and casinos.

We came back to our hotel and Kurtis and I just chatted for awhile. Then before I knew it, it was 5am, which is 6am Utah time, and it was was time for bed. We had 5 of us piled into a Queen bed, pull out couch, and cushions on the floor. Needless to say when my head hit the pillow I was gone...

The day has finally come that I have decided to go online and tell my stories all in one place. I hope one day to be able to have such blogging skills as Jasmine or Nicky. I admit that I am an amateur, but I do have lofty goals. I am sitting here with Suzanne and enjoying some fun Friday night with the Dark Knight and online boys. Yes right now my world has sunk to that level that I have been meeting boys online.

Do not freak out about it. I have been on more dates in the last 6 weeks than the last 2 years in Provo. I have met some great people, I have also met some scary people too. Life is good for me right now. I am loving my job teaching 5th Grade at Santaquin Elementary. The class has 29 students and they keep me really, really busy. We have a few weeks left and then we are down to one term left. I can not believe that I have been teaching for this long already!! CRAZY!!

Well I am going to be keeping this spot pretty active once I can figure it out a bit. Love to you all
