While doing Melinda's hair I cut my self OUCH!!! But don't worry I'm okay!!! The last picture is ALL the skins from Melinda I had to cut off to make her hair.

Las Vegas

So, Elliot and I are going to Las Vegas for my birthday because 1 I have never really been there. Like I have driven through and stopped to eat but I have never experienced the “real” Vegas. And 2 because we got a free trip there for listening to a time share thing.

When we first got this “free” trip they said that they will fly us out there and we can stay 3 days 2 nights, we get $50 for dinner one night and they made it sound all wonderful and all we had to pay was $95 for the taxes. WELL….then I got a phone call a few weeks later informing me that we would not be saying on the strip, that we would be saying in a run down motel, we would fly in on a red eye flight and fly out EARLY in the morning. (Which turned our 3 day 2 night in to a 1 day 2 night) AND we would have to find our own transportation to and from the airport and to and from the strip. BUT…the lady I was talking to had a GREAT deal. She would give us $100 to gamble with, two free tickets to a magic show, a two for one to another show, a two for one for dinner and we would stay on the strip…and we would only have to pay $230 more. So our free trip was going to cost us $325. So I nicely told the lady we would not be interested in this at this time (remember we are a poor newlywed couple) and is there anyway we could get the $95 back. To this she replied (not wanting to lose the deal) that she could send $50 back and give us all these perks if we found our own way down. After talking to Elliot I told that sounds good to us.

Because of all this Elliot has been looking around to find the cheapest way to Vegas. We really don’t want to drive my car because I am leasing it (YES I know the WORST decision I have made in my WHOLE life) so we don’t want to put all the extra miles on it (considering I am only allowed to put 36,000 miles on it until June 2010, and right now as I type this there are 44,200 miles on it OOPS!!!!). We found on SouthWest that you could get tickets for $45 one way, not bad, we could fly to Vegas and back for $238 total. But Elliot thought he could find a better deal. We talked about renting a car (that gets better gas mileage then mine) to drive down, then fly back. Because they give you a full tank of gas which would get us there and gas in Vegas is MUCH cheaper so we would fill it up when we got there turn it in and it wouldn’t be much money. PROBLEM!!!! Elliot and I are both under 25 so to do this would cost us $300 PLUS gas.

(For the BETTER part) While at work yesterday I was booking a flight for my boss (yes one of the MANY things I do for him because he is a “Vice President” so he can’t do it for himself. (We call that job security), I thought….”I have heard that Jet Blue has deals” so I checked how much it would be for us to fly to Vegas with them. It was an AMAZING $29 a person a way. Right that instant I text Elliot and told him what I found. I was so excited that is almost free!! So, I was telling the people I work with and I got on to show them (about 30 min later) and the price went up to $49, which isn’t bad…but its NOT $29. I was totally bummed and kicking my self for not jumping on it when it was $29. Well…about ten minutes later I thought…I must have done something wrong…there is NO way the price would have gone up $20 in 30 minutes. So I looked again and GUESS WHAT!??!?!?! (I must have done something wrong because) I FOUND THEM AGAIN FOR $29 so I CALLED Elliot knowing he wasn’t going to answer because he can’t answer his phone at work. BUT he did answer and I told him and he gave me his credit card number so I bought the tickets and we are FLYING to Vegas!!! I'm SO FREAKEN EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!

TAG TIME!!!!!

~*~UpDaTe~*~

So its been a day or two since I last updated my blog with something that was going on in my life. So I decided to catch up…Let see my last ‘real’ post was September 22 which was last Monday.
We went to Seussical, I LOVED it!! Poor Elliot doesn’t like musicals but he is such a GREAT husband he sat through the WHOLE thing with out complaining even ONCE! Boy do I love him.
Ceder City was AWESOME! We had a blast!! We had a HUGE hotel room!!! We got then and went to The Pizza Factory for dinner. It was SO yummy! Then went out to find a Wal-Mart (with the top down (YAY!!!!))because McKenna forgot to pack her swimming suit and underwear. So after we got those we went back to the hotel and went swimming. Then we went back to our room showed and played games and watched Airplane OH MY GOSH!!! That is a FUNNY movie!!! The next morning while we got ready we watched Overboard…also a funny movie! We checked out…went to Chili’s for lunch then off to the play.
Moonlight and Magnolias was an AWESOME play! So funny….it is about 2 guys (Ben Hecht and Victor Fleming) that aren’t allowed to leave David O. Selznick’s office until they write the script for the movie Gone With the Wind. They are there for 5 days living on peanuts and bananas. It makes you exhausted just watching them. FUN FUN FUN!!! After the play we were exhausted so we headed home.
Sunday we went to Elliot’s kind of ex’s mission fairwell. It was interesting to meet her (Angie). She is the kind of girl you want to hate (because your husband use to like her) but you can’t because she is so nice and great…there is nothing to hate. Grrr…. LoL!!! After we went over to Elliot’s moms house for dinner and we started watching Gone With the Wind until I got tired and fell asleep on Elliot’s lap, so we decided to go home. That’s about what’s going on….ohhhhhhh and you know how I said a few weeks ago Elliot got in a wreck…well the PT Cruiser is in the shop so we are driving a 2009 Kia Sorento!!! I love it…but I kinda miss my car because it is smaller and I'm not as scared about putting a dent in it or anything.
So something funny….
(for the male readers…you may just want to stop here)
I went and picked up my birth control (the nuva ring) the other day…and I decided to read the information they give you with it on the way home (don’t worry Elliot was driving). I read these two things and thought I was going to wet my pants I was laughing so hard. (it was after work and I was a little punchy….but I still think they are funny).
If you cant read them they say……

This product may be harmful if swallowed.
Do not use more then one ring at a time (OUCH!!!!)

Do not share this product with others. (GROSS!!!!!) (Sorry Kristen…even though you let me barrow your blue underwear for my wedding…I have to follow directions…I can’t share)
