Please pray for me this week as I'm finding out some information about my job status. We've known this was coming for a while now, but it's just now hitting and we'll actually know our "fate" by the end of the week. I know that God has His perfect plan for everything, but the "control freak" in me has a hard time accepting that I can't plan a darn thing in this situation!
Praise God for Ryan's job starting this week though... He has His perfect timing.
viva las vegas: day 4
Day 4 - Sunday:
On Sunday Jeri and Christen went for a 15 mile run (they're training for the leiukemia marathon for Mimi) while Mom and I slept in :) Then Jeri, Christen and I went down to the pool to relax while Mom went to get her hair done at the salon (it was hard for her to do her own hair with her huge ol cast). We had lunch at a cute restauraunt by the pool and had fun feeding the cute little birds that surrounded us.
Later, Mom came by and we all went up to a big cabana to sit and talk over Pina Coladas for a while. (Didn't her hair look great?)
Then, we all went up and got ready for our last night on the town. We decided to walk by the Ventian which was another must-see hotel for me, and we saw the really cool gondola boat rides that people could go on. Since we were running out of time, I decided I'd wait and save that for when Ryan and I come to Vegas together someday. We took pictures of hotels since it was our last view of them in the daylight... still couldn't get over how pretty everything was.
Then we walked through the Wynn Hotel. Maybe my favorite hotel in Vegas because it was just beautiful, and the architecture and details were amazing. We decided to get appetizers in a swanky restaurant overlooking a really cool fountain. Although the food wasn't very good (and pretty expensive), we still had a good time.
Later, we took a cab back to the Mirage so that we could go see our Cirque du Soleil show. It was a-mazing. Just amazing. The show we saw was "Love", and it was a show that was set to a bunch of Beatles songs. I was told that if you didn't like the Beatles before the show, then you'd like it after you saw it...and that was totally right! I'm such a Beatles fan now! I was sad we couldn't take pictures of all of the cool cool cool parts of the show, but it was still incredible.
Later, we went to the Bellagio to see the fountains. But before we went outside, we walked through the hotel to see all of the beautiful things inside. There was a whole ceiling of beautiful glass sculptures that I just couldn't get enough pictures of.
There was also a really cool chocolate store that had the world's largest running chocolate fountain (always a good thing!) I was really tempted to eat one of the homemade crepes they were making (I'm on a big crepe kick now), but I just settled for a latte.
Then we went outside to see the fountain show. The song that it was choreographed to was "Luck be a Lady" by Frank Sinatra. We all really really loved it, and we knew that that was one of Mimi's favorite things in Vegas.
The whole trip was just amazing, and that was the perfect ending note. I am SO blessed to have incredible family that sticks together through everything, and I hope we continue to have more and more girls trips as the years go by :)
