Welcome to Las Vegas

   
  This month we meet Eric's family in Las Vegas for Nana's (his grandmother) 75th Birthday. She wanted to see Donnie and Marie Osmond (they have a show at the Flamingo) so the whole family went.  Most of us were not too excited for the pick, but tried not to make it to obvious.  Sitting in our seats before the show started most of us had to pull out our phones and ask google to bring us up to speed on who Donnie and Marie are. The show was actually really good and we all enjoyed it, but we also tried not to make that too obvious either.

    We spent a lot of time in the lazy river and pool just soaking up some sun and it was so wonderful!! I can't remember the last time I just relaxed at the pool.  I got to visit with my college roommate Jana for a while. She lives in Vegas so it was nice to get together and catch up. We went to the outlets and I got some KILLER deals as usual. We also went to the Pawn Stars pawn shop they have the show on TLC. They had some really awesome things in there. Eric's favorite was the Patriots Super Bowl ring. 

  


We had an awesome time and loved spending time with family. Hope we can do it again soon.

Hearts were breaking all over the world!

August 17, 2012


My youngest brother Ethan got married!! Hearts were breaking all over the world. Kaytlin is such a sweet girl and she fits in the family great! They got married in the Salt Late Temple there were over 80 sealing that day!!! Being a Temple worker in St Louis where we may have 2-3 sealings on a busy day, I thought it was a beautiful nightmare to see how they made it all work so smoothly.   They had a very nice lunch reception at the Joseph Smith building next door after the sealing. It was beautiful.  It was fun to visit with family I had not seen in a while and watch my little nephews. 




While in Salt Lake I was able to visit my good friend and old college roommate Kadie. We had a great time visiting and catching up. We also got to visit Eric's cousins Jo and Mandy for while and it was so good to see them. We went to Thanksgiving point gardens with Aung Debbie, Uncle Jim, Aunt Jean, Tamara, and gram. It was really beautiful and a great way to end the trip.
