Wendover!!
This past weekend we went to Wendover because I'm finally 21! We wanted to go down to Vegas but just didn't have the time so we took a one nighter and gambled in Wendover instead. It was so much fun!!! Well... for the most part! I started out playing BlackJack because it's an easy game and all I've ever heard is for the most part, you can win some money, or at least stay even. WRONG!! I lost $75 pretty quick after going to three different tables too! I was about ready to cry because I've never lost so much money so quickly. So we decided to switch up games to Progressive Hold 'Em which I had seen some of JC's friends play a little bit. It is my new favorite game! We ended up breaking even playing that but it was so much fun! It's just poker, but all you have to do is beat the dealer. No strategy of betting or anything... definitely my kind of game! After a while, I let JC go play some poker because I know how much he loves to. It was fun just watching him get in the mood and play, plus all the drunk people at the table were pretty funny too! Finally, around 4:00 am we called it a night $100 ahead of what we started so instead of driving home, we used that money to get us a hotel room. All in all, it was a great "first experience" but I'm never playing BlackJack again!!

Busy Busy!!
It has been a super busy past couple of months but it was definitely a lot of fun!!
Every year my old coach Kelly takes the seven seniors that graduated together out to dinner. It has become a tradition that we all look forward to now that we are all going to different schools and have started our new lives. It was so fun to see all the girls and be with him!
For my nephew Jacob's birthday, we all surprised him down in Vegas with his best friend Marques and his two cousins Savy and Kara. It was so fun to hang out with them and be there for his birthday. He is such a cutie! The kids went to Circus Circus and then just swam and swam and swam! It was a fun weekend!
JC and I stayed in Vegas for the rest of the week and spent a lot of time with his family. We went to Mini Grand Prix with his sister Ashlee and her kids. It was so much fun! The kids loved racing the cars and riding the rides. We even tried the "big kid" cars. They were pretty intense! JC killed me! HAHA
Then, one night, Ashlee got a hotel at the MGM so we went to the pool to hang out. It was a pretty fun pool with the lazy river, but there were some SKETCHY people there, that's for sure! But, we had fun swimming with the kids and hanging out downtown.
The week before school my basketball team took our team retreat down to Lake Powell. It's always a good time! We spend all day in the sun and all night talking. We definitely all came back with a great tan! :)
Now we are both in school and doing our things. JC is the baseball manager which is so great because he got a scholarship for it...free school!! Other than that, he's just going to school. As for me, I'm doing the school thing and working out TONS!! It's pretty rough but the girls make it worth it. We moved into our new place just a few minutes from the school. It's really nice and we are loving having our own place!
