August 2011.....Busy Busy Busy

So this last month has been really busy! To start out with I went to Las Vegas for another Ultrasound Conference.  I went to the Neuro Conference and I learned a ton.  The Conference started on Friday the 12th and went to the 14th.  When I decided that I was going to go to the Conference I told Kort and Jeanna about it and said that they should come with and we could go see Phantom of the Opera.  They were sold as soon as I said that!
We made are way down there on that Thursday and went to the Bellagio and looked around and then made are way over to Serendipity 3 for dinner. It was really good.... I totally recommend the frozen hot chocolate!!! It was DELICIOUS!  We then walked around the strip a little bit.  It was sooooo Hot!!!! You could feel the heat coming off the pavement! We ended up going over to the Coke Factory.  Kort and Jeanna had never done the cokes from around the world.  I had done this the last time I came to Vegas with Leesh.... So I knew what they were in for.  There are some really tasty drinks, but there is also a lot of them that are not good and you usually end up with quite the funny face. I had my camera aimed and ready for when they began! Here are some pics from the begining of the trip!

I stuck with the one that I liked! :)

  The next day was Friday and the Conference started that afternoon.  Kort, Jeanna, and me got up and went to an early lunch at Johnny Rockets! It was way yummy too! I then took off for the Conference while the girls went to the pool! I think they were the lucky ones! They got to see the sun while I was stuck indoors for most of the trip.  Friday was also my one year with Nik!! I cannot believe how fast that year went.  Now if the next two will go that fast I will be one happy girl! I am so grateful for Nik and his willingness to serve the Lord. It has not been way easy, but I know that we will both be blessed and that we are also both really growing during this process! I love him soooo much! I am a lucky girl to have him be apart of my life......So anyways I decided that for my one year that we needed to celebrate even if Nik is gone on his mission, so we went to see Phantom of the Opera that night.  Oh my gosh it was excellent! Goose bumps from head to toe the entire time! It was amazing! I am so glad that we went to a show while we were there! After the show we just walked the other end of the strip.  We stopped for some dessert and then headed back to the hotel.  It was a really good way to spend my one year.... with people that I love and people that love Nik! :)

The Phantom Sign!

 The next day was Saturday and we decided to go get pizza for lunch before I left the girls again to go to the Conference.  I was really happy because I was totally having a great hair day! That does not happen all the time. So I kept telling Jeanna and Kort that we needed pics before I went to the Conference.  So here are my good hair day pics so that I could send one to Nik.  It was also quite funny because we did not notice but we all had the same color on that day! We Rock!!!

I called this Jeanna's School Picture Pose!




Yum Pizza!



Documenting my Good Hair Day! :)

 Later Saturday night once I was done with the Conference we went for dinner at a place called Brio! They are actually building one over by Fashion Place Mall and I totally loved it.  My friend Jenn that I work with was down in Vegas with her husband for the weekend.  He is going to PA school there and she is commuting back and forth.  Kort also had one of her clients down there in training at Brio for the management position back her in Salt Lake.  So we met up with all of our friends and had a nice dinner! We had such a good time laughing and eating that the night seemed to fly by!


The Girls!

 After dinner we went back to the hotel and relaxed for a little bit. There was a poolside concert going on and Jeanna really wanted to go. So I went with her and the funny thing is that she got asked for her ID to get in..... Apparently I look old! :)..... But we had fun sitting down by the pool listening to music!


Jeanna and Me at the concert

 Sunday was the last day of the Conference. We got up and packed and ready to leave.  We ended up going over to the outlets and found some killer deals!  After the outlets I had to hurry to the Conference and the girls just hung out at the hotel where the Conference was being held.  Once it was all over we packed up and headed back to good old Salt Lake! We had a great time together and I am so glad that the girls went with me! We now have lots of fun memories together and lots of inside jokes.  All I have to say is the Price of Cotton has gone up! That is for Kort and Jeanna! I love you girls!!!! :)


Kort on the way home.... Yes I look smart with Jeanna's glasses!




Jeanna..... Look at me! :)




Me on the way home.... Thankful that the Conference was over because my brain was fried!
