blah!

Studying all weekend for another licensing test for work = very uneventful weekend. I do have high hopes for the upcoming 3 day weekend. So much fun yard work to do (I am my mother's daughter).

I got up extra early to study this morning so I can watch the Baylor game guilt free tonight. Baylor vs Duke. A Baptist school vs the Devils. It's obvious whose side God is on :)

Also, we totally love that the Lady Bears knocked out the #1 seed Tennessee Lady Vols. Just for fun, I took Dallas on a walk around the neighborhood yesterday, full Baylor gear in tow, just with the hopes of running into a sad Tennessee fan.

AHHHHHH Sic em'

Well....

I really wish there was something interesting going on in our lives to write about. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I like that there is nothing crazy going on, but I highly doubt anybody would want to hear about how I go to work/go home/in bed by 9:00. Same goes for Brad.

Now Dallas on the other hand(paw), always has a packed schedule. His latest favorite activity is bird hunting. Just ONE time he saw a bird fly out of the shrubs. He remembers this. His new mission in life is to find that bird...and hurl himself in to the nice bushes every time we go outside.

yep, that's all I've got

Nighty Night!

Some local flavor

When Brad told me it was date night and we could go eat where ever my heart desired, he wasn't expecting me to choose my new favorite local hot spot. Not only is the sweet tea capable of giving you diabetes, the entertainment is one of a kind. On this particular night, we jammed out to "The Old Timers" band.

What you don't see in this picture is Brad sitting on a tiny and wobbly chair. Poor guy. He is such a good sport...most of the time.

Dallas had a slumber party with his new BFF, Buckeye. He is the sweetest little puppy. Brad and I didn't want to give him back to his owner! Here are the two fuzz-meisters loaded up and ready to go to school. Don't judge. This is what you do when you don't have human kiddos.

Almost forgot I had a blog

no...not really. There just isn't a whole lot of excitement going on here. I do have a few pics of some less eventful happenings I'll post tomorrowish...maybe, depending on how exciting Thursday night tv is :)

Nighty Night!

V E G A S

I'm just now blogging about our trip to Las Vegas because I have just now recuperated. WOW! SO much different than life in Tennessee! First of all, I need a whole lot of sleep and people don't sleep in Vegas. But even without sleep, we had a blast! I'm so happy we were able to spend some time with my parents who coincidentally had a Vegas trip planned for the same weekend. In one very short weekend we managed to squeeze in Cirque Du Soleil "O", Carrot Top, lots of hotel purusing, great food, and even some gambling and partying.


The 5 minute limo ride to the hotel. We do it up big!
You should know that this hard core crew had been up since around 3 a.m. for our early flight. Super Loopy!



We met up with my parents at Margaritaville. My Dad and I share a very special Jimmy Buffett bond. Our offical father daughter song is "Cheeseburger in Paradise". I was so close to having our Father-Daughter dance be to that song at my wedding, but I didn't want to seem like a weirdo, AND my Dad has killer dance moves that were better displayed by a classic country song.

Sing a-long if you know it..."Big Kosher pickle and a cold draft beer...."


Mom is doin' her thing! I had never even seen a slot machine in my life. She took me to her favorite slot machine, put in a $20 ...and it was gone within a few minutes.






smoochin' at Caesars :)

Headed to see Carrot Top with the work crew. I wasn't too sure about this one, but left the show exhausted from non stop laughing. Brad was laughing so hard the whole time that it just looked like he was crying.

Bellagio

Brunch at the Bellagio. What a beautiful hotel!

Hey, who is that handsome stud!





Rooftop fun with our friends from California

Sadly, I must have had a crazy good time that night because I squished my beloved camera. Grrrr.... Note to self, for the same reason you buy inexpensive sunglasses (b/c the nice ones get stolen, broken, or lost) - do the same with cameras.

In conclusion,
Vegas, you were crazy, fun, and wonderful. Thanks for the memories. We won't be seeing you for awhile because frankly, you are too dang expensive. It's not you, it's me. I just need a vacation that involves more naps, trips to the spa, and some more naps.
