One more thing

Did I mention that Mark and I are going to Vegas the end of January?
Unless plans drastically change we are Vegas bound with my brother, his future wife, and possibly my Mom and Dad. I don't think I have taken a vacation with my parents since before I was married, and I swore that I would never take a vacation in which we travel by car together again! This time, we will all have our space, and it is going to be fun. Vegas is cheap in January. Cold as you know what too...but I can't imagine that will make one bit of difference when we are plunked down in the Casino!

ten years and growing

Last thursday was our 10th wedding anniversary, Mark was so sneaky he took me to dinner at Anthony's in Edmonds and even bought me roses. He is the BEST.

Friday morning we were off to sunny Las Vegas, I am still too tired to blog about it, so some good pictures and the rundown will be up here tommorow.

I will leave you with one funny picture though.

I it is hard to see the total on the bill, but I want to share that it was $892.42. Worth every penny

(we ate at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill ) the meal was outstanding! And not to mention the best lemon drop I have had so far.

Party like a rockstar

Our MGM suite is booked...and we are Vegas bound very soon. Thanks to Rose for sitting on hold and taking care of getting the 3 BATHROOM suite booked! Mark and I have stayed at the MGM Casino/hotel before and it was great.

Dannie, Rob, Kellie, Rose, Theresa and Alan this town won't know what hit it!

It will be a happy 5th anniversary for Dannie and Rob and 10- can you believe it-10 years for Mark and I. I can hear the slot machines calling...

Above are some pictures from our trip the last time we went. The MGM Grand has a beautiful fountain as you come down from your rooms. As you can see we had a lot to pack up when we left Vegas, including everything our friend Teri left in the room before she left to fly home! Our bellhop earned his money this time that's for sure.

I hear Vegas calling!

Our friend Kellie is back from France...yay! Can't wait to hear all about it and see pictures and all that jazz. I may even have to book a spa day with her at Nordies downtown Seattle.
So all of us are gearing up for the big Vegas trip, it is hard to believe that the time has actually gone by as fast as it has. September will be here before we know it. Vegas won't know what hit it, after all of us girls (plus a couple of extremely brave men) arrive! Kellie is doing some leg work on the tickets and hotel arrangements for us. Will it be upper-class Bellagio style? Or the high quality of the lowest quality hotels- The Golden Nugget? (is that place still around?) . Wherever we rest our heads it is going to be the trip of a lifetime...until the next one. Chicago anyone? OH and by the way, Mark and will not be renewing our vows Elvis style this time...way too expensive! That will have to be a 15 year anniversary treat :)
Off to watch Will and Grace on Lifetime t.v. for women .
