As you very well know or might not know, I was whisked away to Las Vegas this past weekend to hook up with a few fellow bloggers that I prefer to call friends instead of virtual acquaintances.
While I was quite apprehensive these ladies might not like me, think I'm a total dork or *gasp* not funny, I was determined to not let my insecurities get in the way of having a good time.
and a good time, NO, great time was had. So much so, I want to move to Vegas to be near everyone and their beauty.
I wish I had more than five pictures to show you but unfortunately, I was too busy drinking to actually hold a camera.
Case in point:
Notice the near empty glass and devoured guac? I'm sure I consumed the whole bowl myself. And, why yes, I AM wearing a black long-sleeved shirt in the middle of 95 degree weather. Hence, the sweaty face.
Let's just say, the trip was fun and on Saturday? We returned when the sun was coming up the next morning.
Now, back to the not-so-fun reality of life.
How do I talk Jon into moving to Vegas, I am totally up for ideas. Can we make this a monthly get together? I don't know I can go a year without laughing with all you lovely ladies!xxoo

I really miss you all. Well, except Kim because she lives 10 minutes away and stuff.
I love you, Shana! It was an honor to spend the weekend with you!

Looks like you had a lot of fun! I guess I can never invite you to beautiful boring Kansas now, because you'll be sorely disappointed. And I don't make guac... ;) Love the new banner!

If you're too busy to take pictures that is probably a good thing! Looks like you had fun!

Glad you had such a great time! That is wonderful!

It looks like you had a GREAT time! I am jealous for sure! Mostly for the guacamole.

I'm glad you guys had so much fun!

Oh my, those pictures were fabulous. I was so jealous browsing them - why don't MY girlfriends wisk me away to Vegas for a weekend???
You look absolutely beautiful. I am in total amazement that your makeup stayed so perfect during the whole night. By 11pm I usually look like a crack whore, complete with frizzed up hair, smeared mascara, and ghost white lips. Good on ya for keeping it together!

Yay! I am glad you were able to get away with some good friends. I would love to be whisked away for a weekend, but alas I am here. I saw the photos and you all are gorgeous.

You know... you really underestimate yourself. You are quite beautiful.
Posted by: Katie | June 03, 2009 at 01:59 PM
I'm so glad you got away, if only for a little while.

HAHA-party smoking in no way counts as "regular" smoking. And good thing I wasn't there, I would win the boob thing, hands (or boobs) down! Wow am I packing heat with those things these days. xoxo, Shauna

So glad I get to see you again over Christmas. Us Okies have got to stick together.
LOVE the banner. So glad to see it up!

I'm so glad you had a good time. And by the way, you hair is to DIE for. It looks amazing in that picture!
Posted by: TUWABVB | June 03, 2009 at 05:00 PM
Well, if I had known you were a social smoker, I would have insisted we go out MUCH sooner! :)
So glad you had a good time, and I also would love to know who took those photos? They are really high quality, especially considering they are snapshots --- really good!
Love the new photo on top of your little dude and dudettes. :)
