Viva Las Vegas!

Another week has gone by, and we have really started to love our "home". I actually might be sad to say goodbye to this place once we leave.... Running outside every morning is actually getting easier too (maybe because I have to get up at 5am lol) We have had some fantastic adventures and have already made some friends :)

This week our relief society had a "Bean Night" and I decided to attend. Not only did I decide to attend, but I also had a very nice lady from the ward invite me to come with. I was so excited to find a friend and so we attended and had a good time. I got to meet lots of oober nice people! I think we are really going to like our ward, especially because they do so much and they are so friendly! By the way, at this bean night I got delicious recipes, including black been brownies! I might have to try a few of them this week :)

Friday marked DATE NIGHT and we really had a good time. Jason was scheduled to arrive home and our adventure was to begin promptly at 5:00pm. However, on his way home there was a huge chemical spill on the freeway, so it ended up taking 3 hours to get home! We weren't very happy, but that didn't stop us from having fun. We decided to eat at Chili's because I got a wonderful gift card and with our hungry bellies very upset... it was the quickest get away. Well, we had a delicious dinner and I totally froze because the A/C was on so high. It is really sad when you have to go outside to warm up! :P

Because Jason and I are total party animals, we decided to drive the strip to work off our dinner. Vegas at night is really a sight to see! We both got a little dizzy from all the flashy lights. Driving made us brave, so we decided a walk might do us some good. Many people have told us about Circus Circus and so that's where we suddenly ended up. Circus Circus supposedly has awesome free shows, and I can atest to them being pretty good. We got to was a trapeze act, but boy did it make me super nervous. I almost had a heart attack thinking about how high they were, luckily I wasn't the one in the air although it felt like it. So if you ever wanna go to the strip at night in Vegas, definitely stay off the streets, and go see a free show :)

Saturday we decided to make it an epic day because of our shortage on time for date night. With our late night, our day started around 10 ish... and we got so much done. It started out with a destination to hit the pool, but had a little surprise in the middle of a possible addition to our family (yes a puppy). We hit up The Silverton and South Point Casino with visits of puppies in between. I'm pretty sure we found our dream boat at The Silverton and our dream puppy too! It was so fun :) Finally to end the night with a bang, Jason installed a new stereo for our car! I love my smarty pants husband and how he is so good at fixing things and putting things together.
The Silverton has a neat aquarium. You can see the Casino in this pic too...


Jason and I at the Silverton for the live fish feed. It was pretty sweet!
Jason test driving our new boat...

Our possible addition... we're still thinking about it, but she is super cute!

Sunday was stake conference and was amazingly good! The Las Vegas Temple president spoke and we really learned a ton. We learned tons about the goals we need to set and achieve. Our friends had a BBQ right after that, and we had lots of fun getting to know them and playing with their kids. We even played a fun game of Farkle and really had a good night.

Well, I'm finally done blabbing about our fantastic weekend... Amen to the post that's a million miles long! Ha ha. Next weekend brings more exciting adventures... or maybe I should start writing about everyday.... Happy Reading!
