Our Vegas Weekend

W spent last weekend in Las Vegas.
We had a high/low trip where we started low at the $63 a night Golden Nugget on Fremont Street and the spent two night high at the $999.99 per night (don't worry, we had a massively huge discount to $200) suite at Encore on the Strip.
Both hotels were great and allowed us to lay in the sun by the pool and eat yummy food.
Vegas is always a good idea!!

Little Pieces of Heaven

We are spending a long weekend in Vegas with Cam, Vickie, and Valie.
Lesley and I LOVE to travel with our siblings and today has been filled with little pieces of heaven.
We started out lounging at the great pool here at the Encore Hotel. We got a nice spot right under an umbrella and spent the morning swimming and relaxing.
Then we got cleaned up and went to a late lunch buffet at the Wynn. We ate for so long that they turned over to the dinner menu and we got a whole new menu to eat from. The food was great and so was the decor. The filled the room with flowers and chandeliers in vibrant colors and arrangements.
Then we came back to the room and I took a luxurious bubble bath while everyone else went to M&M Coca-Cola World. I miss having a big bath tub to soak in and our bathroom at the Encore is my dream bathroom.
A low-key day filled with little pieces of heaven.
Love!!!!

July 14

I made it all the way to 10 pm without crying, a new July 14th record.
My dad died on July 14, 1984.
Every year I try to pretend that it's just another day but it's not. It is a day my family was changed forever.
I am so grateful to know my family is a unit that will last for all eternity and this brief mortality apart will only be a short period of time in the giant scheme of things.
Because of the atonement of my Savior Jesus Christ, my family is eternal and we will all be together some day.
I am grateful for the blessings of the temple that help me gain an eternal perspective.
I am grateful to know how loved I am by Heavenly Father.
July 14 is a day of gratitude and a day to feel very blessed.

4th of July 2015

We had a fun evening with my favorite tradition with my favorite people. I love Independence Day and I love that it is a day filled with community, family, and friends.
My favorite part of the day is lighting sparklers and seeing large fireworks. It was kind of stormy today but we didn't let it get in the way of our fun. Even when it started raining during the firework show, it was still lots of fun.

Happy Birthday America!!!
