Vegas ( the beginning)

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.

Welcome to Vegas (Night 1)

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.

~I'm pretty sure I'm saying, "Hurry up guys.. let's go in..let's go in"~

So I just got back from Vegas... It was such a great trip but I did want to announce that I got Married.

My Birthday Weekend!

27 Years... don't they go by in a blink.

The weekend all started on Friday where I was surprised at work with flowers, pie and some lovely gifts. Thank you Villa Girls. I love ya'll.

Then Friday night my friends and I all went to Tin Lizzy's in Midtown for a little fiesta. Followed by Irish Car Bombs and Dancing at Ri-Ra. Seriously I have the best friends in the whole world, you all certainly made me feel special on my birthday:) Much love to you all .. xoxo

The Next night was Natalie's Bachelorette Party and my official Birthday (may 28th). I spent the morning at the pool with Chrissy, getting our swim on. Before heading to Loco Luna to celebrate with Nat.

Then I went to my Parents house to celebrate with the family. My Mom made me Lasagna, and stuffed mushrooms, salad and garlic bread. And we opened presents and had my favorite Hot Fudge Sundae's for dessert.

~Scott and Missy got me these great letters for my house~

~Scott will be Scott~

~I test the waters in the new pool~

Thank you all for everything. I had a lovely birthday! xoxo

prom 2011

I love love love trying on Prom dresses. I seriously came pretty close to buying this damn Prom dress. But where on earth would I wear it. It kinda has a 80's little mermaid feel to it.

I went to the mall to find my birthday dress and came up empty handed. I guess I'll venture out to the mall another day this week. Is this too fancy for a birthday??

Babies

Today certainly had a theme.. Babies! Today my Villa Girls and I all went to Cheesecake Factory for lunch to celebrate Kristina having a baby girl! And we were joined by our fabulous produce delivery guy, GENE! It was so fun to see my girls outside of work and watch Kristina open some very cute presents. ~Showering Kristina~

~Villa Pastry Girls~

~And Gene comes too:)

~my buddy Analia~

~Congratulations Kristina~

After lunch I drove out to my brothers house to watch my nephews Beckham and Brooks. Those kids definitely wore me out. They played in the pool, and we played with their Nerf Swords, played Basketball, ate Spaghetti ( got my shirt covered in Spaghetti), we played the piano. No rest at all for Aunt Amanda:)

~This kid has good taste in vehicles~

~Brooks and Beckham~

~This is Beckham's face after I turned the hose off because he sprayed me~

~So then I turned it back on and sprayed him~

~I'm such a nice Aunt:)
