LasVegas

We had so much fun this weekend, I forgot to take out my camera....it was that good!  And part of the reason why it was so dang fun, was because we didn't have to pay for any of it!...well, except gas to get down there! 

Last year, Ben's department at work reached one of their big goals.  So as a reward, his department and spouses were treated to a fun weekend in Las Vegas.  The weekend included our hotel suite at Vdara, a Cirque du Soleil show, "O", at the Belagio. The guys were all taken to play golf, while the wives went shopping. We had dinner at the Buffet at the Aria, and at this YUMMY Thai place off the strip.  And after dinner one night Ben's boss was feeling extra generous, and we all went and got Chineese massages!  it was so nice!  After dinner Ben went with some of the guys and did the rides at the top of the Stratosphere.

It was so much fun. And it was great knowing the girls were safe with my sister Lexi!  ....and my brother too, he came up to help.

While we were there we were also able to video chat with all of Ben's family when his parents opened their mission call to Chili!!!!  They leave July 1st.  It is going to be a hard week for us.  Schramma & Schrammpa leave July 1st to the Provo MTC, and 2 days later on the 3rd my little sister goes to the MTC for Argentina.  Ruben is starting his papers, so we'll have to see where he goes, but what a sad, but great summer for missions all over the world.  They will be getting some great people!

We left early this morning to try and make it back to our church....which starts at 2:30p....yuckiest time ever!  Plus we didn't get a sub for our nursery.  With having to hurry back home and get back into things so quick, the weekend already seems like a long time ago.  But it is back to work in the morning....and school, and volunteering at the school, and diapers and dishes.  It was a fun weekend, but I am glad to be home to the craziness.  It is good to get away every once in a while. And I am glad we did.
