Vacation






Oh my where do I even begin. We have had an amazing week. Thursday 12/18 we flew out of Kansas City Airport to Las Vegas. This was a bit rough! We were 3 1/2 hours late getting out. I was pretty mad but Aaron was very relaxed and calm. We finally got to Vegas and by the time we made it to our hotel, we stayed at Planet Hollywood, and checked in and got some food.... we all know how I am about food... I was STARVING!! Well, we got a whole 3 hours of sleep before we had to be up again and on our way to St. George, for Lance and Emilee's wedding. We made it in time for the wedding and it was BEAUTIFUL! They got sealed in the "white" room in the St. George Temple, it was absolutely beautiful.
Our new friends we met at the Wedding, Nicole and Jake, he served his mission in St. Louis and in Columbia. She was a bridesmaid...small world huh?!

After eating with the wedding party we headed to Enterprise to the Holt's for a quick rest before the reception. That evening was pretty uneventful we just hung out at the reception and then headed to the Holt's for a good nights rest. The next day we woke up and headed back to St George for lunch with Lance and Emilee. We ate at Eat Brazil! It was delicious! I even tried Chicken Heart... YIKES! It wasn't that bad though. We then went back to Enterprise to spend some time out there. Aaron and I had lots of fun. We got to visit the potatoe cellar where they store the potatoes from the farm that George works on. We stood on over 6 million potatoes... It was REALLY awesome. The next day we went to church and then later that night we went skiing. Yikes for me.... I'm not so good. Aaron was great and had a lot of fun. Me on the other hand fell A LOT and even have some battle wounds. I have a deep bruise on my inner left knee and when I woke up on Monday there was one on my face... luckily that has disappeared now.

Monday we headed back to Vegas and had a really enjoyable time. I was soo sore from skiing, I could hardly move! It was awful! We dropped off our horribly ugly rental car (spicy mustard yellow) and then went and ate lunch at Margaritaville!! It was FANTASTIC!! We then just kinda hung out and cruised the strip. We ate at Hawaiian Tropic that evening, it was delicious. Tuesday we woke up and hung out that day. Nothing to exciting... however we did eat at a sushi buffet.... it was WONDERFUL! Aaron and I love sushi!

All in all it was a great trip and well worth the money!!!
