home again

home again, home again
jiggety jig!

it is just amazing
what a few days
away from it all
can do-

it seems like
we were gone
so long and it
really was only
three days/two nights!

the roller coaster in the dark
was crazy!
my hubs of course
had to pick the LAST seat
so that we could 'feel' it...oh my goodness~
it was crazy but, so much fun.

we did a lot of sight seeing
and just had a great trip
with our friends-
it really is nice
when you have friends
that both you and your husband
not only get along with but,
actually LIKE! ;)

Fun times...
oh yes indeed.
i am thankful
for the get away with
these sweet friends...
it is the simple things
in life!


this is what i wore wednesday:)
it was so hot there in vegas...
we here in WA are not use
to weather in the 100's...
i loved it but, hubbie thought it was a bit hot! LOL
so the black jumper was actually bought as a maxi that i cut off :)
lace headband, made by me.
 i wore my leopard flats that i thrifted, LOVE them! (can you see my pink ribbon tattoo on my ankle in the last picture?!)

hubbie & i

we didn't buy this shirt but, i couldn't help 
smile!
just having fun!
our friends posed too...LOL
caesar's palace is always one of my favorites to walk around, shop and sight-see~

new york, new york casino
they have a cool tribute to 911 
they fly a flag at half-mast
and this quote was on the side of the tribute
i love it!





all in all it was a lovely vacation
although i am ready to go again
anywhere, anytime! :)

i am thankful
and blessed
for the time away
it was truly so much fun!

oh, and for those interested
my step-dad is still in the hospital
but, it sounds like he is improving
so thank you for the prayers!

 i will be asking the daughters 
very soon, if I can post a few 
of their africa pics from their mission trip-
they have some uh.maze.zing pictures!

i hope this finds
you my blog friends
happy& content
i would challenge you
to flash your beautiful smile,
you never know what it might
mean to someone to see your smile~
it might be the only happy thing 
they receive all day! 

blessings,

Shawn-Oh bummer, I thought the tattoo would show better. On my camera it showed up! ha. It is a pretty tiny, pink ribbon on my left ankle. :)

You look adorable and what a fun vacation you must have had! We just got back from our vacation in June.

You're right about the weather. I'm from WA too (western WA), and what a ridiculous summer we are having.....or NOT having, lol! But I'm not used to that really hot weather either.
