• January 27/28 - WEEKEND.  I am getting the hang of this weekend thing!  Watched the show Ed's Up on OLN and saw my Uncles Karl and Martin showing Ed Robertson (of Barenaked Ladies fame) a thing or two about welding.  Pretty cool!  They're really... straightforward guys, and apparently they swear a lot.  Ah well, Ed swore right back at them!  It will be on again on Wednesday as far as I can tell. Liz says I have to record it, so I will.

While the saying may be “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” I just wanted to share some of what we got up to when we went away.

First, it was probably the greatest trip of my life.  We did everything we wanted to, didn’t hold back, and didn’t worry about how much it cost, or how long it would take, or any of the normal worries in day to day life.  It was an honest to goodness vacation; and after 8 months of planning it didn’t disappoint!

I could go on for pages and pages (and probably will), but some of you have already heard it all in person or on the phone, and anyone else who wants to know can call me or drop by for details!  I’ll just go through the days and hit the highlights; there are a lot of them!!

So yeah, that’s our trip.  I guess it isn’t as short as I had planned but that is what you get!  I stuck links in there if you want to see some of the places and things we went to.  I have two albums of photos online if you want to check them out too.  I gambled, and lost, $21 USD, but had lots of fun doing it.

Being a part of Jacie and Mark’s wedding was great, and they appreciated all the friends who made the effort, and expense, of going to Las Vegas for their wedding.  Their families were all very thankful and made sure that all of us knew it.  Seriously, we could not have imagined a better trip.  We’d do it all again, well, except for that ride on the Stratosphere…

Woah!

Three more sleeps until Las Vegas!

I am so excited it's not funny.  I haven't started packing quite yet, but I want to.  

It will be hard to concentrate at work for the next two days too, my brain is already on vacation!  Unfortunately I have a lot to get done before going away.

So excited!!

If anyone wants a postcard, let me know.
