Here is what I suggest… I suggest that you go to Las Vegas with a group of friends whenever you get the chance! I had such a great time! We flew in early on Tuesday morning. We had a slight delay getting the rental car, but no big deal. By the time we got to Mandalay Bay we were able to check in. Of course, they HAD to upgrade Chris and I’s rooms to suites. (Chris is the manager of the other store here in town). So, we each had a room that was the entire end of the floor we were on! My room consisted of 2 large rooms of living area. One room had a big screen TV and couch. The other room had a dining room table for 6 and a wet bar. Then, there was a bedroom on each side. Each bedroom consisted of a king size bed, a bathroom that had a large Jacuzzi tub, and a large walk in glass shower and 2 sinks. I was living like a queen!
After we spent a while getting settled, we went down to the pool. There we got a bite to eat and then found some lounge chairs by the lazy river. The temp that day got up to 99 degrees, but it actually didn’t feel that hot! Whenever we did start to feel warm, we would jump on our inner tubes and floated around the lazy river they have!
That night we went down to the Bellagio for their wonderful buffet! A buffet is a great place to take a pregnant woman. I ate and ate and ate. It was all such tasty food! We walked around a bit after that, did some gambling, and then went back to the hotel.
The next morning, I walked around the mall that connects Mandalay Bay to the Luxor. I was killing time while waiting to meet Dan and Jef for breakfast. After a tasty breakfast, Chris and I headed back to the mall to shop. After that he headed one way and I walked over to Shark Reef. Mandalay Bay has an attraction which is an aquarium with sharks. I walked around there for about an hour, looking at all the cool sharks and fish. After there, I met up with Jef and Dan at the pool for a short bit. I say a short bit, because it was 101 degrees that day!
That night we had our “fancy dinner” and a show. We had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant in the hotel called Red Square. Then we went and saw the show Mamamia, which was right in our hotel as well. It was a great show! Someone took all the music of ABBA and set it to a play to make a musical. Since we all like ABBA music, we all enjoyed the show very much!
Thursday was Chris and I’s last day there. After breakfast and packing up, we headed over to the Luxor for some gambling. I played a little bit of Craps. But I spent more time playing Roulette. I really enjoyed that! I did pretty well with winnings also. Not great, but okay. I think all in all, I lost about $40 over the course of the 3 days. That afternoon, Chris and I flew home, back to reality. Dan and Jef stayed a few more days, they flew home tonight. They have some close friends that live there, so they checked out of the hotel and went and stayed with their friends.
All in all, I had a great time! It was so very relaxing! It was a much needed break, which made it very hard to come back to work! You can go to our website to view pictures taken!
But here I am, back to work. I am half way done with the pregnancy now also! I made it to 20 weeks! Some times the little girl is very active! Sometimes I don’t feel her for hours. That is when I start to get nervous, just ask Hubby. But, at some point, in the next few hours, I feel her again and all is well. Here is what she is up to now:

Hubby talked me into getting a body pillow for myself. Ahhhh, what a great invention! It’s about 4 foot long and it’s wonderful to wrap my legs around! Now, if I could just get a second one, when Hubby is out of town, I can have one on each side! Perfect! Good news is though, that he is around for a while. I do enjoy that!
Bristol finished his CGC class last week and we take the test June 10th. This past Friday was his last Agility class. He graduated that with flying colors! Maggie is still doing her class, but we have the next 2 weeks off because the trainer went to Europe.
Buddy is still Buddy. He is currently playing with a Kong toy. The only reason he is currently playing with it is because about an hour ago it was filled with frozen baby food. He has since emptied that out and is now trying to get any last molecule of food out of it.
Hubby is doing well. He is in his last class before his first master’s degree is complete! Looks like the prefect record of straight A’s has been broken. He now has a B+ in a class, but that is a sore subject, we try not to talk about it.
Well, it’s about time for me to head to bed. I don’t make it up late these days anymore!
