I didn't move to Vegas for snow...

So on Monday, in my normally sunny city of Las Vegas, some crappy white stuff started falling from the sky...sigh - I didn't move here for this! Not only do I not like it, neither does my prissy dog! Trying to get Charlee even out from under the patio is chore enough, but then to get her to "go" outside while there is precipitation? Nearly impossible. So I wasted more than half my lunch standing outside in the falling slush trying to convince my dog that it's great and she should try it! All the while with a look on her face like "Sure mom, your wet and freezing - looks like a party - I'm not movin'!" So finally after following me around the yard and doing nothing but shivering, I caught her looking pretty cute - with snow on her face - Can't wait to see what actually happens when she sees Idaho snow - Look out mom - we may have to teach her how to use the toilet!


Late-night Twilight

Ok, so I know this is like 3 weeks past due, but I've been without a computer so now I have to get caught up. So my friend Cherie and I went to the midnight showing of Twilight on November 20 - wow...that was almost a month ago - Anyway, we had a great time and were surrounded by a bunch of teeny-bopper SCREAMING girls, who I frequently told to "Shut It!". Other than that we thought the movie was great and had a great time away from our "boys". We took some pictures and blinded all the girls around us, so I just had to share.

Not until I took this picture did I realize what similar color Cherie's eyes are to the vampires...hmm

~Thanks Cherie for the good time!~

Le Reve

So, last night...and last minute...we were taken out to dinner and a show - Le Reve at the Wynn Hotel (Christmas Party/Present) by my bosses at the mini-storage. This was suppose to be a surprise for me and Kevin, but my boss Lori spilled the beans - it actually turned out to be a very good thing that she did because last night was going to be their last show for 2 weeks! Kevin's cousin Julie just got married on Saturday and her new husband actually performes in the show. So after the AMAZING show, we stayed after and talked to him and he told us all the behind the scenes stuff and things you always want to know about in a show like that. It was so much fun and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to go and have that experience! The basis of the show is a woman dreaming (Le Reve means The Dream in french) and she has many unfinished dreams, some scary, some funny and some "seductive" as Kevin would say. It was a water show and the water added such a huge element to the show and made it that much more exciting. You are not allowed to take pictures during the show so I got some off of the internet so that you could see some of the acts - the pictures don't do it justice! Enjoy, I know we did!
