Happy Monday, everyone! After an exhausting couple weeks, i can finally say that i am at the tail end of my busy semester! It is such a relief to plan your week and not dread all the meetings/papers/tests, but to be excited to have a chance to nap maybe! haha.
Here are some pictures from the vegas trip:)
Friday Night: we drove all day and got there real late, but we had to go out and see the sights!
We went out to Downtown Vegas for a couple hours; it was so much fun!
Our friends Heidi and Blake from AZ happened to be there that night, too so it was good to be able to see them. (no picture, sad.)
My first pull-y slot! I lost a whole dollar, but it was worth it!
Christine and I got a Shirley Temple from the bar- we were so excited, but had no idea what to do walking up to a bar..haha.
Saturday morning we woke up and went right out to the strip! We learned really quickly that you can get lost in all the buildings.
The Paris Hotel was my favorite i think. It was HUGE and i literally felt like i was in Paris! Cute little shops, cafes, CREPE' shops! (yummy). It was so much fun to just walk through the "streets" of Paris with my love.
Saturday was a lot of walking. We just
wandered through the different casinos/hotels trying to live up every
moment. Afternoon hit and we headed over to the Caesars palace buffet!
It was a lot of money, but it was worth it. We figured you have to do it
once, right? The food was amazing and there was lots of different
kinds!!
That was also the day
that we all got a huge head-ache :( naps were had, Ibuprofen was needed.
Then we went back out to the strip.
Storytime:
I
love people. i really do. Let me tell you about my friend, Stephanie.
we met at a Blackjack table on Saturday night. She was real drunk. (she
had been playing for like 11 hours that day!!) Long story short, she was
basically teaching us all how to play smart at the table. It was just
hilarious. She even put a couple chips down for me when i was on my last
chip! So nice. She freaked Devin out a little, but i thought she was
fun! haha. I walked away even that night, but it was definitely one of
my favorite experiences in Vegas.
Sunday-
We went downtown and visited the Pawn Stars pawn shop!! No, the guys werent there.
There was a line to get in, but it was cool. This was a super old car, i took a picture to send to my daddy. It was more just cool to see all the stuff they had there that we had seen from the show.
I need to be better at taking pictures if im going to be blogging more often. ill work on it.
Sunday night--MUSE.
Standing in the huge line after we got our matching shirts!
We had great seats!
Muse puts on one of the greatest live shows ive ever seen.. its not just that they're great live, its the theatrics of it all! They had these revolving screens, i tried to get a good picture so you could see. Those screens can move/invert/theyre hollow..so in the picture above, Muse is inside the pyramid! It was just a great show. They had lazers and pyrotechnics as well. SO much fun!
Christine and I after the show:)
Vegas was great. We wore shorts! and the sun was beautiful. We got back to rexburg and it was almost 50*! the snow was finally melted...until this happened..
All within like an hour and a half!
Thanks for reading this novel of a post.
Guess what? For those of you who havent heard...
I will be starting my internship with Child Protective Services in Rexburg come September!
I am so blessed!
It was very competitive, but after 6 interview offers and 3 interviews, i got the one i wanted!
I am so excited to go out and learn about my field through the nitty gritty that is CPS.
It will be challenging! But it will be so great!
-xoxo, lexi
