VEGAS BABY!

It's VEGAS Baby!  I spent the last two days in Vegas with my parents. They were already going out there for a friend's birthday, and they invited me to tag along too. We had a great time sightseeing, eating, drinking, gambling, watching the Titans game- I didn't want it to end! Two days isn't quite enough time in the City of Lights- I didn't even have enough time to lose all my money! 

The Car Wash- Fun For All Ages!

I have mentioned before how cool the car wash is that I go to- they can totally detail the car in like half an hour and they have a coffee shop, gift shop, Internet and TV to entertain you while you wait. I had been there for awhile when I finally noticed the child behind me. He was having the best time hanging out and playing with his game in that chair. I couldn't help but laugh. That term "make yourself at home" well, children certainly do!

Busy Month

Ah, sorry that it is been awhile since I have posted. I've been working a lot- and I am not sure where this month has gone, but it seems to be almost gone already! So, here's what I have been up to: 

1. Things are great with Patrick- he and his unit captured a terrorist that had been in hiding for two years. He was happy to be a part of the capture and now since the "Big Mission" of the deployment is over, he is ready to come home! I am so proud of him and his unit.  

2. I put together another fashion show for the store- this one was a fundraiser for breast cancer research. It was really fun because I got to dress 20 ladies that were breast cancer survivors, and it was so inspiring to hear all of their stories. The show was good and the ladies all had fun, which was the most important thing. 

3. Another big event at the store- this one was cool because it was like a big cocktail party, and I had the pleasure of selling lots of clothing to very drunk women... ; )

4. I went golfing last Sunday morning since the Titans were off. I had a horrible game- I really need to take lessons. I can drive alright, but I get anywhere near the green and it is a disaster! Unfortunately, the Broncos played as badly at football as I did at golf..... 

5. I found a new brand of fabric softener sheets...they work like magic and smell like heaven....

Yeah, that's my life. You see now why I haven't posted lately.  Really, you didn't miss much. Patrick is doing great things, but I am just...well...here. I'll try to do something more interesting for you all soon!

Hopefully things will be getting more post-worthy here sometime soon......

5-0 Titans

Well the Titans have done it again and taken their season to 5-0. It has been a pretty fun team to watch this year, but I must say that they could just as easily have been 2-3. Even with their record, they need a little improvement on their passing game in my humble opinion. Passing game or no, frankly, I am just happy to be watching football! I haven't had consistent Sundays off since I was in college and I am just drunk with football watching bliss! Things are so great, that I have even gotten to watch almost every Bronco game too! Pretty much my Sundays consist of this: Waking up at 11:00-having a latte- watching the game at 12- having a beer- watching the game at 3- having another beer- watching the game at 7- going to bed. I couldn't be happier. Viva La NFL!!!!

Road Trip

Doug and I took a little trip this week to Indiana and Michigan. We went to Indiana first to see Patrick's Grandparents and then to Michigan so I could see the "Big Lake". We had a lovely time and I got some fun pictures.

          Amazing Lake Michigan- Man that's a big lake!

Brentwood Ladies Fashion Show

I spent the last week working on the first of two fashion shows for Belk. I had a great time getting to know all of the ladies and dressing them for the show. I did all of the commentary during the show, so I didn't have a chance to take pictures during it, but I got a few of the ladies before, so I guess those will have to do! I am currently working on another one, so I'll keep you posted on how that one goes as well. 

Update coming soon

I've been busy the past few weeks. I just finished one fashion show for the store and am on to the next one. They are fun to coordinate, but they take a lot of time and energy. 

Doug and I also just got back from a quick road trip to Indiana and Michigan. I have some great pictures, so I will share those sometime soon. Hope you are all doing well out there too!
