Viva Las Vegas!

Every year we just exchange cards and thats our gifts to each other. It's the best gift ever!
On the 24th Floor, Dave looking out at the view.

Being silly and blowing bubbles in the hot tub :)

Chillin at the Hot Tub
The Pool
It was too cold to get into the pool so just feeling it out.
Our Hotel South Point


Doesn't Dave look so happy to be with these hotties. I made him go stand by them so I could get a picture.
Carrie Underwood and Rod Stewart impersonators with the show girls
Tim McGraw impersonator. He was by far the best and I really think he thought he was him.
Michael Jackson impersonator. They even had security around him, why I don't know.
"Tim McGraw" having the "Elvis" autograph a shirt for him.

We always have to fly stand by and we got lucky and got to sit in first class. Wahoo. Wasn't all that great for the whole hour :)
In first class you get a much larger arm rest...
Bigger seats that lean back further with your own blanket and pillow...
candy bars and chips instead of peanuts and pretzels...
real glassware instead of plastic. Oh the joy of 1st class :)

January 5th Dave and I celebrated our 8th Anniversary. Can you believe it, we've made it for 8 years! I am more in love with my Dave today then ever. He makes me so happy and does so much for our family. Each year we take turns on who plans our anniversary. It was my turn this year so I decided to go to Vegas. Dave planned 2 trips there this year for the BYU game and we didn't get to go to either so I thought he would like this. We stayed at the South Point Hotel. I got a great deal on it...for both nights it cost us a total of $56 but there was a catch that we did not realize...it was way pass the strip so we ended up having to rent a car for $60 but oh well we still liked it and the hotel was awesome. It was a new hotel, had a spa in it, an imax theatre, a huge bowling alley, pool, hot tub, a casino, and tons of 5 star restraunts. It was nice but a little far away. We gambled of course, I lost and Dave came out even. I hate gambling! Why do I do it!!! Anyways we watched Avitar at the IMAX which was freaking awesome!!! One of my favorite movies of all times and I really did not think I was going to like it at all. We also went to a show at the Stratosphere "American Superstars" which was pretty good. Worth the money. We paid $45 per person which included dinner buffet, tower tour of the stratosphere and the show. Just a tip: If you want to see a show down there don't buy your tickets a head of time. There are places all over that sale the day of 1/2 price tickets. We could have bought our tickets for $24 each, but we didn't know but we live and learn. The food wasn't so great but thats a buffet for you. We went hot tubbing which I loved!!! And of course shopping!!! It was a great anniversary, one of our best! I love you Dave, and thanks for making it 8 years with me :)

Happy Happy Anniversary! I'm glad you had a great time. Also, thanks for the advice on tickets. John and I are going to Vegas in March for a photo convention and I definitely want to see a show...
