IT'S 2009 YAY!

SO THIS IS A FUNNY STORY! This is the MGM Grand. We wandered in thinking we could pass through the hotel and keep warm to keep walking down the strip. WRONGO. In the middle of a heat storm in there we got lost in a flood of Asians! Not kidding some famous singer to them was singing there and we were walking through the second it got out. They were coming right at us. We followed another white couple through the crowd, they were leading the way and pushing asians out of the way so we followed. Well when we got to the end of the Hotel thinking we were in the clear, THERE WAS NO EXIT TO BE FOUND. Thats right we had to force our way through the asian mob once again. the total time in the MGM being lost: 1 hour 30 Minutes. NUTS I KNOW.

Just walking up and down the strip!! It was so cold but so fun!!
The MGM again!!!
THIS MAN..... farted on the bus. Yes thats right farted and then he chuckled like it was no big deal.
THE M&M FACTORY!!
THE COKE FACTORY. We bought 16 little cups of different flavors from around the world. Some were good some were NASTY. But it was fun to try them all!!!
HEY GOLD WOMAN, GET YOUR LIPS OFF MY MAN!!!! Ha both Jay and I thought they were going to kiss us. Wierd!
You see all kinds of wierd stuff in VEGAS!!
So this one.. HMMM we went in and asked because thats just wierd it's just how it looks, F.C.U.K. saying each letter individually. But still come on what were they thinking?

Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville!!!
I just wish it wasn't so cold!
We ate on top of the world. seriously. The resturant on top of the Stratospere. it was so nice and so much fun. It rotates so that you can see all of the city!!!
We had a lot of fun in Vegas. We got a free nights stay because the water was cold one day!!! That is definately the city that never sleeps!!!!

What a WEEKEND>>>

This weekend was awesome beyond awesome!!! Friday night Jay and I met Friends Lance and Stephanie and went to Lagoon for Fright Nights!! That was so much fun. Well while there we went and saw a Hypnotist. The man (who's name is still unknown by anyone to this day) picked 20 people between the ages of 18 and 30 to come up to the stage, Jay took off running for the stage. He got on and was in the show, he was hypnotized and did some crazy stuff such as, getting really hot and taking his sweater off, Dancing like the Village People the Y.M.C.A crazy and swinging his "taken off " shirt all over the place. He was scared to look over the side of the stage because the hypnotist said it was a 70 story building. He went from being 4 years old and picking his nose in front of over 200 people to even got to play with Barny and gave hugs to strange people in the audience. He was so cute up there. People were laughing and talking about how funny and cute he was. He really was!!! Then on Saturday night we went to The Haunted Forest In American Fork with Lance and Marissa.!!! That was so creepy. It's seriously in a forest and people and things pop out and you and you walk through old sheds and barns and it's just so creepy!!! It was so much fun though!!! This was such a fun weekend!!!!

Just Plain old me!!!

Last week I was in Wal-Mart getting
some usless things that I really didn't
need. OK OK so I was buying tampons! Anyways this man
and his friend?/girlfriend?/Wife? were following me around
looking at me so strangly. Finally I stopped in the make-up department
to see if I could ditch them, (I really wasn't in the mood). The boy
came over to me and asked the strange question that makes girls
want to run away and never look back... "Have you ever thought of
modeling?" NO WAY. Me I'm just me!! Thats basically what I said.
He was with some talent agency. Well the girl came over
and was giving me the same speech and I could
see that between them I wasn't going to get out of this easily even
with the politest of declines. I gave the girl my number expecting
to A. never hear from them B. Get a few prank calls C. or Something else.
Well days went buy and I forgot all about it. Well on saturday night Jay and I
were babysitting Mikayla and Gwenny when I got the phone call.
I answered and was offered an audition. I looked
up the place online and it was a real, a real place,
that really did movies and modeling and
made people famous... Needless to say I didn't go, and I'm kinda
kicking myself about it!!

Does ANYONE...

Know of a good Dermatologist in the northern
Salt Lake Area..??? This face full of nasties is
just not working out anymore!!!

SAVE Darfur

I went to the concerts for Darfur with Merilee these past two nights and Jay came last night. Afterwards Jay and I were driving home and we got to talking. How blessed we are to be driving in a car, warm and out of the weather. How lucky we are to be eating chocolate at our disposal. How wastefull we are as a society. How selfish we are. It just was heartbreaking the video Josh showed about How they are suffering over there. Jay and I realized we take so many things for granted. Being able to call our parents on the phone everyday, to go to a home where we have air conditioning and heaters. How lucky we are to walk into our kitchen to grab a quick bite to eat whenever we want. To be able to live so close to the temple. Jay and I live not even 5 minutes away. We also take for granted our bathroom, the toilet, being able to take a shower, to have sinks to wash our faces and brush our teeth. To be able to walk out of our houses without being scared that something is going to happed to one of us. We are so blessed to live here in the United States. I used to give my spare change to bums here but I realize that they can go get a job, they let themselves get that way, these people in Darfur have no choice. People here ask for 50 cents or dollers, people over there would be happy with a penny! We are all so blessed.

THIS IS SOOOOO FUNNY!!!
