Vegas, baby

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged! Since school started I've been busy! Work has somewhat picked up and it's a lot to juggle!
As Rick said, we went to Vegas last weekend. It was an ok trip. We really felt old by the end of the day and surprised ourselves that we didn't feel like going back out at night after we had walked all day long up and down the strip. We did get a chance to stay with my friends Alison and Brian and their beautiful little girl Olivia, so that was good. It was a lot of fun to play with Olivia, catch up with Ali, and Brian and Rick got along really well. All in all it was a good trip, just not quite as wild as we thought it might be. So, here are the very few pictures I took!
The Bellagio is my favorite hotel, I dream of staying there some day. They change the theme in the conservatory 6 times a year. It was the first time I'd ever seen moving parts in there. It was awesome!

And of course the outside of the Bellagio. I could watch the fountains all day.

Rick was so excited to find clear Las Vegas visors at Walgreen's.

Beautiful Olivia

Love this one of her riding Bosley

That's all the pictures from Vegas. Once you've been there a million times you don't feel like taking pictures of all the same ol' stuff anymore!
Back at home:

I don't know if he's fully grown yet. I doubt it, he's still a bit smaller than Penny and she's really small, so we'll see. He is definitely a very good looking man cat :)

Yesterday was Riley's 8th birthday party and I took a few pictures, so I'll get those up soon. Rick and I need to get outside and start doing some winterizing-putting away our tables and chairs and cutting plants back etc. We have 2 ginormous trees out front that haven't even started dropping leaves. That is going to be our biggest fall chore when that happens. I also have 2 midterms this week-Corporate Finance and my Marketing class, so I need to study tonight for those. Like I said, busy, busy!
Hope all of you are well!
Lauren

Hey busy girl. Glad to see you are enjoying married life in all it's business. Love the picture of you and Rick in Vegas! Cute. We'll have to get together with the hubbies soon and go out. xoxo Jenica

I know what you mean about Vegas...it was so much fun when we used to go. McKay and I went for my 30th birthday and we'd be done by 7pm. We'd go back to our hotel with the intent to leave again but then we would just stay in. I don't know if it is just us getting old or that fact that I've been there so many times. Still LOVE the Bellagio though, I am still with you there, I could sit and watch that fountain all day!!
