Viva Las Vegas

Before I write about anything about Vegas, I want to say "Happy Birthday" to my sisters! Today is their birthday. I love you both so much and am happy that I am your sister. You make this world a better place. No matter what happened growing up, I knew I always had the 2 best friends a girl could ask for. Just like that frame that Mindy gave you, Missy, one year for Christmas: We are "Sisters by Chance, Friends by Choice." I love you both very much and hope you have a great day...you both deserve it.

Yes, I'm still alive! You might think otherwise if you've checked out my blog lately...I haven't blogged in such a long time! Oops! With Christmas and everything, it's just been so crazy. Well, we just got back from Vegas last night and it was a blast! I took so many pictures, but thought for the sake of your time and sanity, I wouldn't post them all. Here is a glimpse into our vacation:

Brady sleeping on the plane to Vegas. Can I just tell you that I love flying JetBlue? I love that everyone has their own TV and satellite radio to watch/listen to and I must admit, there is a lot more leg room compared to other airlines. I watched HGTV the whole way home and the flight seemed so fast! It was awesome.

Us taking a break in Hollister after some shopping. Good times.

The arena at MGM Grand for the UFC fight. The energy in there was awesome! Look at all the people, it was so much fun.

If you watched UFC on Saturday, you know that Silva got knocked out....I totally got a picture of it. Wow, that was awesome. Although, I wanted him to win and I was a bit sad he didn't, it was still a good fight.

Sean, Chad and Brady

Brady and one of the creators/owners of "Tapout," Punk A**. (Yes, that is his alter-ego name).

This fighter, Kevin Randleman, totally thought Missy was hot stuff. She asked him if we could get a picture with him and he said "with that smile, I'll do anything." After Brady took the picture, he told her to send the picture to his website and he would sign it for her and send it back. I swear, guys were always checking her out.

Here are Brady and Sean with Stitch. He's the guy that fixes all the fighters' cuts and stuff in between rounds.

Herb Dean...What's UFC without Herb Dean!

One of the announcers, Mike Goldberg. He's a lot skinnier in person than on TV. We wanted to get a picture with Joe Rogan as well, but he was no where in sight.

Tito Ortiz. He was doing an autograph signing at the hotel we stayed at. He was really nice. He was just leaving and Brady stopped him before he left and took this picture with him.

Last, but most definitely not least, it was our anniversary yesterday!! I woke up yesterday morning and walked into the bathroom to see this..."Happy 2nd anniversary, you rock my world." With the CUTEST letter I've ever read and some fake roses taped to the mirror as well. Do I have the best husband or what?? It made my day. He's always so thoughtful. Brady and I both have this week off of work so we are going to celebrate our anniversary today or this week. I'll be sure to let you know what fun stuff we do.


I hope you all had a great Christmas!

Cory and Kristie Lucking

This past weekend our good friend, Cory Lucking, got married! We were lucky enough to attend their rehearsal dinner on Friday night at Rodizio Grill and it was really yummy! Brady and I had never been there so it was a real treat. The wedding reception was on Saturday night at Cactus & Tropicals in Draper and it was beautiful. They looked so cute and happy together.

Instead of having a guest sign-in book, they had a photo booth where you got your picture taken. The booth prints out two copies of the pictures, one is for you to keep and the other is to glue into a scrapbook and you can write a little message next to it. What a great idea! It will be fun for them to see pictures of everybody that attended.

Brady and the boys...well some of them
