On March 24th, Kyle and I will be celebrating our (gulp) 8th anniversary! Has it really been that long? So, when we found out a pilot training buddy of Kyle's (Russ) was getting married in Vegas, we couldn't resist but take an early anniversary trip. We took an evening flight out of San Antonio last Friday and landed in Vegas around 9:15pm. After an hour shuttle ride (mind you, the airport is about 5 minutes from the strip), we finally arrived at Mandalay Bay, our home away from home for the next four nights. We met up with some friends, Joe and Stephanie, on Saturday that Kyle knew from college and spent the day touring Vegas. We ate at a French bistro in the Venetian and Kyle and Joe rode the coaster in New York, New York. The guys also tried to race go karts but that didn't end up happening (stay tuned for more on that). Saturday night was the wedding and a nice dinner at a Wolfgang Puck Italian restaurant. Yummy! The wedding was fast and intimate, but very nice. We got to spend some time with Russ and his bride and another couple from Kyle's pilot training class and it was so much fun to reconnect with them. We also met up with a friend from San Antonio who had moved back to Kentucky. She happened to be staying at the same hotel we were so, we spent a good part of Sunday lounging by the pool. This is also where I had my one and only celebrity sighting of the trip, Ty Pennington from Extreme Home Makeover and Trading Spaces. We saw two shows while we were there, Mystere (fabulous!) and Beatles, Love. They were both great shows but we definitely liked Mystere the best. Monday we spent the day with one of Kyle's buddies from Eglin, Dave. We went to Planet Hollywood for lunch and then to see his house in North Las Vegas. What a great home! Take two of the go carts went off without a hitch this day and Kyle and Dave had a great time seeing how fast they could take the turns without crashing. Silly boys. We reluctantly headed home but were so warmly welcomed by our sweet, sweet boy that we decided that there is definitely no place like home!
Our room. Kyle's favorite part... the TV in the bathroom!
Kyle jumping for tickets. He got me a pink bling ring the size of a silver dollar. Boy, does it look real! ;)

Yes guys, this is my attempt at paparazzi. This is Ty Pennington!
Serious racers!
Action shot. The guys joke that even if they were sitting still, it would still be blurry! :)
8 years of marital bliss!
