Today I finally got to lounge around at my parents pool! I love love love it! The landscaping still has to be finished. But other than that its lovely!
Another day down, not much more to go! Seriously if I had a ton of money I would love to spend more time there, although it's probably a good thing the trip was short, I probably could have emptied my bank account in no time at all.
The next morning was spent eating and what else.. gambling. You know how I like it! We walked down and through all the casinos. Saw the Bellagio Fountains which is seriously my favorite part of Vegas. I of course threw my money in and made my wish:) One of the shows is to the Song, 'Time to Say Goodbye' and I seriously cry every time I hear it. It was so wonderful! Here is a clip of it.. so you can see what I mean.
We walked to Ceasar's Palace, and New York, New York, and everything in between.

~I'm Blue.. da ba de da be dow~
~I can't resist a machine that is going to tell me my fortune~
After spending the afternoon walking around, our group parted ways. Some went to see the Beatles show LOVE, while Lauren, Britt and I got dressed for a fancy dinner and some more gambling (mostly done by me).
~Our new friend~
~BFFS~
We ate at this really nice Italian Restaurant in the MGM Grand. I had the Caprese Salad, Lobster and Truffle Gnocci, wine and champagne for dessert. Delish!
Ahh Vegas, the city that never sleeps. Well I did get a little sleep, and then woke up to lounge at the pool before the day began. We drank some delicious Mango Drinks, then headed to our room to get dressed before walking up and down the strip to see some sights.
So.. Me and Brittany flew out to Vegas together. I slept the entire way, which was lovely. Then we arrived at our lovely hotel, washed up a little, before heading out to meet all the friends. We walked down the strip to the MGM Grand Hotel. Where they all drank, while I did my gambling.
~the gang's all here~
~I'm pretty sure I'm saying, "Hurry up guys.. let's go in..let's go in"~
There are two things I want in life.. And an Inground Swimming Pool is the other one. The other day I found out my parents are putting a pool in their backyard complete with an awesome waterfall! OH MY GOODNESS I AM SO EXCITED! Maybe I should move back in with my parents.... maybe not.. I guess I'll just be driving to Snellville more often with my friends to cash in! One day I will have my own inground pool.. even if I live in a trailer and its backed up to a sweet pool. LOL!
Well this is the second year in a row I have ran/jogged/walked the Peachtree Road Race. While it is insanely hot and humid in Atlanta, it was still a good time. I didn't come in first place this year, but I did manage to beat my time from last year. At the end of the day everyone gets the same prize, a lovely T-Shirt!
This year my family went on a cruise from Seattle to Alaska and Canada. This is Part 1 of my trip. I'm not sure how many parts there will be, but it may be a few;), so stay tuned.
So we began our trip in Seattle. It was really exciting to see the Space Needle, we went to the top to get a good view of the city. I didn't get to see Dr. Shepard or McSteamy but it was still fun to see the city. They whole time I was there all I could think of was how cold and rainy it was and how I could see why it would be the perfect place for Edward Cullen to live. LOL.
Here are a few pictures.
