I'm all shook up over Elvis!! I went down to Las Vegas with a bunch of my girlfriends and Jake. We went to see Viva Elvis...6th row!!! It was amazing! What a heart throb. I now understand why he was such a big deal. The performance was unreal as it told the story of Elvis' life. The dancing was amazing and the singers who sang along side the voice of Elvis were moving. By the time the show ended we all wanted to Elvis memorabilia and we all downloaded his songs.. next on the list of things to do is watch all the old Elvis movies! What an amazing life he lead... my favorite quote from the show, by Elvis was:
“When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song.' So I keep singing a song. "
This trip to Vegas was different than all of our other trips because we had a friend down there that was...lets just say.. a high roller! Thanks to Nate for the great seats at the Elvis concert and for letting us crash at his place with the amazing pool. For taking us all out to dinner at one of the swankiest places in town and for a memorable night at the club.... as VIP as it gets! For one night we were all high rollin'!! Thanks Nate for hookin us up.
Lets not forget to mention my hot friends! Thanks to Krista, Kristin, Amber, Whitney, Marianne, Corinne, and Nate for making this such a memorable trip!! So many laughs... episodes of intervention on the way down and good times in the pool! I am a lucky girl to have not only beautiful people in my life, but also the most kind and generous and giving people I have ever had the privildege of knowing! I love my girls!! xoxo (missed you dani and kim!)
Going to this amazing dance club in the Hard Rock Hotel was crazy and fun and we danced til we dropped...although it made me realize..... I'm too old for clubs. It was a good time, but boy was I happy to be going home at 3am!! At least I went out of that scene with a bang!
Nate!! You know how to rock the party that is Vegas! Thanks for the good times and your generosity! You are awesome and you left us with the best Vegas trip I have ever been on!
It's always fun to escape on these mini vacations with my girlfriends.. it gives me a break from work, and life but Im always happy to come home to my little munchkin who always says....'sooooo, tell me about your trip!' and then we chat like she is older than 3 and we talk about her weekend with her dad and I tell her about how much I missed her and then we get in good snuggles and fall asleep. I love my little Kaya and the older she gets, the more I miss her on my mini excursions. I guess there are good things and hard things about being a single mom... but she always falls in the category of good!
Viva Las Vegas!
