Finally home

After a week of traveling, I'm finally home!! It actually felt a little weird the first night back and a lot like my first few nights at the house. But, alas, I am home and back into the swing of things. It has taken me a few days to unpack, wash the clothes, and all of that. I still have to do the dishes... bleh!

My birthday was great and I'm so glad I got to spend it with my best friend. When I got back on Sunday we had a dinner at my brother's to celebrate my birthday and that was really nice to get to see everyone.

Over all, Las Vegas was fun but too over whelming. Both Sara and I agree that we both needed and wanted to go, but would probably not go back. I think we both enjoy more secluded and quiet vacations... note to self, plan a beach vacation next time. We got a chance to visit most of the "big" casinos, and even got a self instructed tour of the less populated areas around the strip, i.e scary areas. It was hot. It was crowded. And my feet still hurt like a bitch! The thing I liked the most was going to see Cirque Du Soleil at Treasure Island! It was amazing and I highly recommend you go see a show where ever you can.

I have posted pictures on my Flickr account, all though, I didn't take too many. BUT, I did want to post the best picture of all! My purchase made on my birthday in Vegas, courtesy of my mom :) Tee Hee!! They were going to be my present to myself, but my mom offered them as my bday present. Thanks mom!

Vacation!

Well, I'm off to Vegas today! America's playground, sin city, place to lose all your money, etc. I'm super excited and can't wait to spend my 25th birthday there with my bestie! It still doesn't feel like my birthday, but that's ok. I am getting older, so I don't need to have huge birthday parties any more, even if they are fun. It's going to be a weekend of money and relaxation!!! Wish me luck at the casinos because I'll be gambling for wedding money! :)

One more checked off

Everyday #8- Do something special for my 25th birthday
Relationships (Family, Friends, Fiance) #2- Plan a vacation that is not my honeymoon


This vacation falls under both categories. Although, looking at it, I don't know why I listed the vacation under relationships?? Ah well.

Anyway, I'm going to VEGAS for my 25th birthday!!! Sara and I are staying here. A Junior suite at the MGM grand. Our birthdays are about a week apart so we figured we could celebrate together in Vegas. Neither of us have ever been there but I know I'm looking forward to some time away! Normally I wouldn't be going anywhere for my birthday... But having my best friend in another state and my Fiance in another COUNTRY over my bday just doesn't make me want to celebrate. So I thought why not take a vacay?? WOO HOO! I'm excited!
