Sin City = The Coolest City

This post is loaded with pictures! I just have so much to share :)

I went to Las Vegas and LOVED IT! Finally, I'm blogging about my experience! Forgive my tardiness... I've been on my death bed for the past week and finally feel up to it! Emily and Steve were so nice enough to let me come visit for a whole week! I showed up on my Dad's birthday and suprised him... it was so great! The weekend with mom and dad there was packed with fun! My big $3.20 gambling win, Elvis show, a hike at Red Rock, birthday festivities, watching the airplanes and "choo choo's" (that was for you em), ate DELICIOUS gelato, and all other kinds of fun stuff! As you can see, we're just a gambling family!! haha jk jk, it was like one pull of the slot machine, ok and one game of video poker, ok and one game of bingo... hahahaha!
So after we had to say goodbye to mom and dad, we just kept on a partyin'. Seriously it would take all day to tell you everything we did. But basically, I had the most fun I've had in a long time hanging out with my sister all week. She is the BEST! We shopped until we dropped um, everyday! We hate delicious food, she showed me all the awesome sights, we went swimming, and played with that perfectly adorable Easton all day :) ahhhh heaven! Seriously- He is so so so cute, I just love him so much. I kept trying to take pictures of him, but I'm just no photographer. He talks so much and i just love it! And it was great when Steve could come home from work and play with us. He was such a good sport go go out and shop even more with us!! Oh AND- em and steve are very educated TV watchers and I've found like 5 new favorite TV shows. It rocked! They totally know whats good.

SO the final verdict is that I love las vegas! It was like 85 degrees the whole time I was there... perrrrfect! I just think the city is so cool and I'm so fascinated with how much money people just throw away there. I love all the huge casinos and the whole deal just really interests me. It's a fun place, but I wouldn't have loved it nearly as much if Em and Steve and Easton weren't there.


Have you noticed how BEAUTIFUL Emily is? I have. and I just love her so much. I had such a great time with her all week, it was the best part for sure. I never really get sad when I say goodbye because I know i'll see people again. But when I said goodbye to Emily I totally came back in the house fighting back tears! I didn't want to leave her. She took such good care of me and she is just so wonderful. I can't wait to hang out again soon, em because I miss you already!

Jenni!! I love you and your family!! You little gambling pro!!! $3.20!! HA HA!! I like it here in Tennessee but I wouldn't live here forever... no way. For church we go to a branch and it takes 15 minutes to get to church going on the freeway. It's crazy. But it's so fun!! I miss you though and I'm so so excited for June at Kelly's wedding!!YAY!! We will talk soon cause I need to get my plane ticket and stuff!! Well I love you and I'm so glad that you had so much fun with your sis and the rest of your fam!!!

Emily said...

Well, I've only won a dollar, so you're a better gambler than me! Seriously that was the BEST WEEK EVER! Thanks so much for taking the time to come and see us, it was a huge help to me and even MORE fun. I just love having you around and so does Easton.

Promise you'll come back! I just found out that High School Musical is going broadway and they'll be at Planet Hollywood...is that enough incentive to come back?

I miss you tons, you're the best sister ever and I love love love you!!!

What a nice sister you are to LOVE Em so much, I love her too but i guess not as much as you! Sounds like a blast week!

I would give a lot of money to control tears when saying goodby! Believe me I've tried and given up, I hope I haven't passed that on to you but then again I guess it isn't such a bad thing.

I agree Vegas is totally awesome and I'm glad you had such a good time. Glad you are feeling a little better too, that was awful!

Sounds like a good time! You and Emily are so pretty in all those pictures. We've got to get together sometime soon! How's your internship going? Are you working too? Hmmm anyway, I'll talk to you lata! Love you!

Lanette said...

You and your sister are both so pretty. And Vegas is so fun! Your $3.20 winnings reminded me of when I went there--Shaun won $10 from $1in a slot machine but ended up feeling so guilty he used it for a generous dinner tip, haha :)

Jill said...

Wow, that does sound action packed! Congrats on your big win at the slot machine! I can't wait to make it to Vegas. Sorry you were so sick! And good luck on the internship. I can't wait to hear about it.
