Vegas Baby!

Chet and I decided that we were going to start getting away for a weekend here, and a weekend there. We are hoping for 4 this year. We booked Vegas to start it all off. We are so conservative, and not gamblers, or drinkers, or anything else that everyone seems to think of when they think Vegas. We did, however, have a GREAT time. We left our kids at my mom and dads house (a HUGE thanks for watching them!!!) and flew on Allegiant there. When we got there, we went on a timeshare tour. We wanted to see why so many people bought. We didn't understand the pull. It was fun and very educational. If we could have paid cash and had the vacation time, we would have loved to have bought. Someday we hope! Right now half our vacation is used in the scouting program, so we need to wait a little longer. We went to some awesome shows!!! We saw "Ka" and "O". They were amazing. I could watch every appropriate show there. Someone asked if Chet felt like less of a man when he walked out of there. It is true. These men were amazingly strong, and the girls were so flexible and talented and fit. It was fun to see them flying everywhere and doing all they did! We rented a car and went to the temple. It was, however, closed for cleaning. We were really sad. But we tried. We then went to dinner at a high school friends house. It was super fun to meet his wife and baby girl. Chet and I both had a great time. It was nice to catch up with him. I haven't seen Bobby since high school. We also went to a little mini race track. Chet LOVED it, and could have spent all day and a months worth of money there. I did it once, and opted to take pictures. I was rear ended 5 times, and pretty much just sucked! I'm not a race car driver. Chet however, has been practicing all his life in real life, and was really good at it. He took 3rd of maybe 10, but these guys were regulars there. They knew the track and cars so well. It was fun to watch. We ate at In-N-Out Burger, and it DID NOT live up the hype! I thought the burger was just a burger, and the fries were AWEFUL!!! We were not impressed. We shopped and walked and watched movies and just loved being together without the kids. It was a great 3 days!!!

I feel like the luckiest girl alive. I am so blessed and have such a great life!!! My husband ROCKS!
