Happy Birthday to me

I just turned 21 on May 11th, and where do you go for your 21st birthday? Vegas of course. Instead of the usually gambling all my money going to nightclubs and getting plastered I spent my trip seeing shows. On Sunday (the 11th) Drove up, stayed at the Ventinian, we went to dinner at Dementico?? (Emerils steakhouse) pretty good. (must say Napa Rose at Disneyland is better). Then we went and saw Blue Man Group. Really good show, humorous and fun.. it was a great big party. I really enjoyed it then had an eiffel tower experience at Paris/Ballys. Then the next day looked around at the ritz shops, saw "baby mama" then and saw Stomp Out Loud. A great group of talented and fun people. It was an awesome show. Then we met up with Tim (one of our good friend and employees of LEX- Anthonys company) and ate at this all you can eat meat Brazilian place in the miracle mile shops. Pretty good (Tim served his mission in Brazil). Then with the guys we decided to take me gambling on Freemont Street (the old strip) and try our luck at Blackjack. and I won about 30 (got up to like 60) bucks at a 5 dollar table. It was fun playing for really an not just playing with the the Surratt boys at the house. and having my pro hubbie looking over my shoulder in case I needed help. I made a couple 'bad moves" (on behalf of the other players, and their chances. says anthony, and telling me the old man would throw a look a couple of times) but hey I did good and I hade fun. And as we noticed our luck started to go douth we decided to call it quits, but before we headed back I made the boys play the slots with me really quick, lost our dollar pretty quick but it was fun (the next day Anthony and I inserted a dollar and turned it into 39 in one shot, so I called it quits on that luck). So in all we probably came home even on our money with the money we won and spent. But tons of thanks to my hubbie for taking me. It was a great birthday present. And can't wait for our next trip to Lake Powell with my family. Til then living life.. upkeeping a house, gettign ourselves back into shape, starting a family (yes we're offically 'trying'), me in the process of landing a job at an upcoming bank, Anthony trying to expand his company, and enjoying life.
