I am definetly a Vegas girl...

So we got back from Vegas late Sunday night exhausted, rested and happy to be home! It was such an amazing trip. I am so lucky to have 11 of the most amazing friends/family around me! I can not begin to explain how special that it made me feel that all of these women would spend the money and take time away from their husbands, puppy's, children and jobs to celebrate my birthday.

It was a really great weekend. The Paris hotel was awesome...right in the middle of everything. We did a lot of relaxing at the pool (the picture on the left is the view from the "private courtyard" at our villa at the pool...amazing), going out to dinner, bowling, gambling, shopping but mostly just spending time together doing what women do best...talking!!! It seemed like everyone else had as much fun as I did. I really am such a lucky girl!

Thank you Melissa, Laura, Laura, Silvia, Nicole, Allison, Melissa, Kim, Lacey, Harper and Sarah for loving me and making me feel so special this weekend. I love you girls!

Vacations

As I sit at my computer and work (like I do all day, everyday), I realize how much that vacations are a necessity for someone who works a full time job. Weekends just are not enough. Friday night is spent trying to relax and realize that you have two days of not working ahead of you. They are also often spent laying on the couch watching a movie/baseball because for some reason I always seem to be exhausted every Friday night! Sunday is spent sleeping in (which is enjoyable), at church, at lunch with everyone, napping, getting ready for the new week to start. So the only day that leaves is Saturday. As I get older my life seems to get busier and busier and I always have some party/dinner/BBQ/baby or bridal shower to go to. All that to say that I really don't feel like I have much time to truly relax and I need more vacations!!

Luckily in about two weeks eleven of my closest girls and I are going to Vegas to celebrate my 30th birthday! I am so excited! The weekend will be spent laying out/reading/dancing/shopping/eating a few of my absolute favorite things. Thanks so much girls for coming along to enjoy some relaxation with me! I can't wait.
