Viva Las Vegas

When my husband decided to go on a little ski vacation with his brothers, I didn't waste any time planning a weekend getaway of my own. Good thing Vera is always up for a quick vacation. We flew to Vegas on Friday morning and packed in 2 days of fun and relaxation. It was wonderful! 

After a full day of shopping on Friday, we had a delicious buffet dinner at the Bellagio.

Loved those crab legs!

After dinner we went to the Bellagio atrium display. It was an Asian theme and it was incredible.

After an evening on the strip, we decided to switch things up and spent Saturday morning at the Las Vegas temple.

And last, but certainly not least we went to a Cirque Du Soleil show on Saturday night at Treasure Island. It was awesome. They do such amazing acrobatics and make it look so easy. It was very entertaining.

It was such a fun weekend. Thanks for a wonderful time mom!

And here's what my husband spent the weekend doing:

We had very different but perfect vacations!

It's Official!

My little bro is getting hitched! I could not be happier. We love Eliza so much and can't wait for her to join our family. I also can't wait for another summer wedding. Let the festivities begin! Love you two :)

Who said I don't do winter sports?

After a long day at work on Saturday (busiest day of the year for massages) Erik and I spent a very relaxing weekend at his cabin in Woodland. The highlight of the trip was a little cross country skiing excursion. Although it involved snow and skis, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was a beautiful day and the scenery was incredible. My in-laws were all very relieved that I returned home in good spirits, seeing as they are avid winter sports enthusiasts. 

Yes, my jeans are stuck to this barbed wire fence. I'll leave the details up to your imagination.

Overall, a great day!

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's weekend everyone! We celebrated with a little dinner at the Dodo with Eliza and Jeff.

And the Valentine's Day movie. The movie was exactly what you'd expect and a great little flick for the weekend of love. Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

p.s.

I realize my last post was a little vague :) The beautiful picture is of Kauai! Thanks to a little contest at work Erik and I were able to plan this lovely vacation. We are so excited for this trip because we never would have dreamed of going to Hawaii during our first year of marriage. So, Aloha everyone! Wish I could take you all with me.

To The Beach!

I WILL survive the winter...

...because in May we're going here!

Sorry, I haven't been to the beach in a while and I'm a little OVERLY excited.

Happy Birthday Cat

I just love it when each of my friends has the wonderful opportunity of joining us in the 27 year-old club. It's a great club to be a part of, but I just cringe to think that in only 3 years it will be the 30 year-old club. You know what, forget I said that ladies :)

On Friday night we celebrated Caitlyn's birthday with a delicious dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. It's always a nightmare to get in there with a large group, but the Baja chicken tacos are oh so worth it!

I just want to take a minute to tell my dear friend Caitlyn how much I love her. Cat has an amazing sense of humor, she's the best running partner ever, a true friend and an incredible mommy to little Diem. Thanks for everything Cat - Love you so much!

Here's a picture of my favorite ladies (minus poor Amber who is on strict bed rest and our Chicagoan, Alex). I have great friends :) Thanks for a wonderful night ladies.
