Hello blogging world!  Long time no see!!  I'm sad it's been so long since I've posted, but I've been a very busy girl! 

With February came one of the best trips of my life...Viva Las Vegas!!  If you haven never gone here, it is an awesome and reasonably priced trip!  Mama, my Aunt Cathy, and I had a most excellent time.  We stayed at the New York, New York.  It was a very nice, clean hotel & casino. 

The food, casinos, and people were great!  We were there for 5 days and I could have easily stayed another 5!  Also stuff was extremely well priced too!!  I don't think I could pick a favorite casino/hotel...but I was very disappointed in the Paris Hotel, but I guess once you've seen the real thing you don't enjoy the imitation as much!

We also took a day trip to the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam.  The Grand Canyon was probably the most magnificent thing I've ever seen!!  It was God's work of art for sure!  I would love to go back and go rafting down the Colorado River and see it from an even different prospective.

We not me so much took a walk on the Skywalk Bridge.  It was scary for me!  One experience which I do not care to repeat!  This bridge suspends you 4000 ft in the air and it has a glass bottom and you have to wear special slippers over your feet to even walk on it!  I made it about 10 ft out.  I just couldn't look down.  Mama and Cathy made it all the way around!



With March came extreme sadness for our family.  We found out the 7th that my sweet grandmother had liver and pancreatic cancer.  She had a rough couple of weeks at home and then went to be with the Lord on March 26th.  She will forever be in our hearts and extremely missed, but we know that she is happy being back with my grandfather and all of those who went before her.  She had a great attitude about her illness and said, "I'm a winner either way, if I stay or if I go!"


Here we are enjoying our last Christmas with her. 

Well I'm gonna try real hard to not take so long in between posts!!  Hope everyone enjoys their Easter weekend!!  I'll be enjoying church, family, and Titanic in 3D!!
