Vegas!

The weekend was Amazing!!!

For all that didn't know my dad, My bro in law Jerry and I went to Vegas for a conference on Taxes and Asset protection. Let me tell you- The conference was... interesting. I learned So much! Especially how all of us are paying Far too much in taxes, and that there are very simple things that we could do to avoid them.

We stayed with one of my long time Best Friends- Sole (my first daughter will be named that!) LOVE IT! She was one of my very first roomies at BYU and we instantly clicked. She was really quite and I was all over the place (imagine that) and we had some seriously awesome times. She is from Argentina and on top of being amazing her food is to die for too... Those are very good combinations!

Well... Her and her hubby (the chance a nator) have 2 babys that are so cute: itsy girl and tubbys. We played and the kids were so good. My dad put on grandpa hat and was all over that!

The first night we had Empanadas (from Argentina)... YUM!!! and watched funny movies all night... mostly SNL.

Then the next night we hit up a yummy stake house and Grubbed down. Ribs like no other!!! Chance let me and Sole go out so we hit up the town. I found some awesome finds at New York and Co. (my most recently found fav. store) and we went to some ghetto stores that were Very Vegas ish. Then we hit up the Strip... SO FUN! I love the energy on the strip!!! Not all the gross stuff, But I love the energy! All the fun things to see...

Then I wanted to gamble so we put a dollar in at her local casino. I didn't even realize I was done, I was trying to pull the lever down, and that was a no go. I have no Idea how people get addicted to that. BUT I did see a craps table in real life and poker table (my first time). Interesting.

Then Sunday Came and I was So tired (from the parties) and was ready to go home.

Over all it was a great visit. Dad was on his best behavior, and I actually enjoyed our time together.

Sole Custom makes Jewelry... and she hooked me up BIG TIME. I have 3 necklaces that are adorable. I will never buy jewels from anyone else again. (mark my words) She sales them to everyone... and has a blog... I'll get he sight and post it...

So now it's back to work... so I can go to St George to see one of my other Very Favorite People in the wide world... LINS! and My NIECES... Syd and Ambri!

Vive Las Vegas!
