Thanksgiving

Is only2.5 weeks away and Chris's birthday is the day before. I haven't bought him a present yet nor do I know what to get him. I was going to get him an Ipod since his died in May but he just uses mine because I hardly ever use it. There's really no point in me getting him one when he's got mine. There's always Christmas if he really wants his own.

The main reason for this post is because I'm a little sad about the holidays this year. It's my 1st time away from home for both holidays. Chris's mom, dad, sister and her boyfriend are coming for Thanksgiving/Chris's birthday so we'll have visitors but MY dad was suppose to come.

He and his girlfriend have free tickets but since they waited so long to look at flights, all the ones they could use the free tickets on are all full. So, on Thursday of last week, I was ecstatic my Dad was coming. Then yesterday, he said they probably won't be coming because of the flights being booked and if they bought tickets, they would cost $3000 for the 2 of them. WHAT?!?!!?

I cried....a lot! I am close to my Dad, not AS close as my Mom but he hasn't been here since we moved and I really want him to see it and us. He'd love it here and I miss him a lot!

He text me today and said he might come alone....I think he really misses me and Chris but I'm not getting my hopes up. I've done that too much in my life with him and I've gotten disappointed A LOT!

I'm crossing my fingers for a miracle. lol There's no love like a love a daughter has for her Daddy!! :-)

Flag Football?!?!

Yes, you read that right...I'm going to be playing flag football with some people from work. haha I cannot believe that they asked me to be on their team but they needed girls.

I'm excited, nervous, and a little scared.....these guys are really serious about their flag football. They won the last 2 years, I guess and aren't into girls who aren't competitive. Good thing I like to win and hate losing..............

I'm not sure when we start but I think it's soon and we get jersey's. I'm pretty damn excited!! lol

First month down

Well, as most of you know, we started TTC as of Oct 1st. We weren't trying "very" hard this month and it showed. I have yet to get my wonderful monthly "friend" but I took a pregnancy test that clearly stated "not pregnant." So, on to month 2!

Let me just say, this month we will be trying a lot harder. Originally, I didn't want to get pregnant "right" away but now that I didn't, I hope I don't have to wait too long to see "PREGNANT" show up on a test.

My baby fever has just gotten ridiculously out of hand. lol I really want to have one of my own and finally give my Mom her grand baby she has been waiting for!!!

It's official...

We are TTC!!!! Woohoo! I'm so excited and really hope for no problems from here on out. I guess time will tell....

I'll keep you all updated! :-)

Birthday in Vegas

Was AMAZING!!! I hate the most important people in my life there with me; my husband, my Mom, her boyfriend and Chris's cousin David and his wife, Lacey. It was so much fun!

We got there around 5 on Thursday, my actual birthday so we got our rooms all settled and then got ready to go find food and drinks. We started off at the bar at our hotel and had a shot at 8:06 pm because that was when I was born. Then we just walked around and found cheap drinks...drinks are typically VERY expensive where ever you go but we were on a mission to find it cheaper and we did. I also gambled a little that night on Blackjack and didn't win anything. :-(

All the other days, we drank and gambled some more and just touristy stuff. We went to NY NY (my favorite hotel/casino) and went on the roller coaster there, MGM and saw the Lions which Chris had never seen and there were 2- 9 week old cubs, they were adorable! Then we had some jello shots at MGM that were $2 and the strongest jello shots I've ever had so we had a few. lol

We had to go to the M&M store so I could get some girly colored M&M's. lol

Treasure Island is another one of my favorite hotels/casinos. Since David and Lacey had never been to Vegas, I had to take them to the Pirate Show at night. I saw it 7 years ago for my 21st birthday and it was great so I was expecting it to be pretty much the same. Boy, was I WRONG! It was no longer a Pirate Show, it was a freaking sex show. Ok, maybe not completely but that's what it felt like. One ship had girls in lingerie with 1 main guy and the other ship had guys with their shirts off...it's was SO strange and I was VERY disappointed. I have now come to the conclusion that there is NOTHING in Vegas that's not geared towards men or sex. It's sad! I'd be pissed it I took my child to that show.

Other places we went to were, MGM where we found out they have a topless pool called Bare but it was $40 for guys to get in so we decided not to go. lol Next time we'll go in. haha We also went to the Venetian and got to see the new sister hotel, Palazzo which was gorgeous and the Wynn and it's sister hotel, Encore another amazing place.

Me, Chris, my Mom and my Mike went down to Old Vegas. That place is just cool. It's where Vegas origionated from and let me tell, things are def. a lot cheaper down there.

Well, I think that's about it...I will leave you with some pictures.
This is my birthday shot..lemon drop.

My Mom's HERE!!!

YAY! My Mom is finally here. Her and her boyfriend flew into Vegas because it was cheaper to do that than to fly into Phoenix and then fly out of Vegas. They got here around 6 and then we had dinner and just hung out. It didn't feel like we haven't seen each other in 4 months. Dexter, our dog, sure was excited to see Grandma. She brought him lots of treats and some toys so he was happy.

Tomorrow is my Friday so we'll be hanging out again tomorrow night and then Thursday...we are OFF TO VEGAS!!!!! We cannot wait!!!
