What happens in Vegas...

Doesn't really stay in Vegas when it comes to me!!

We didn't get off to a great start.

We got on the plane in KC at 9:00 and then they told us a bird flew in the engine last night and they wanted to check it out real quick. Oh, great....they could have lied and said we were waiting on the beverage cart to get stocked or something. Seriously, a bird flew in the engine of the plane that I am about to fly on. How fun! But it was fine. We landed in Minnesota at 11:00 and out flight from there took off at 11:15--yep, we had 15 minutes to RUN to our gate because of the stupid bird. We literally took our seats and they started to pull out. Thank goodness we made it.

Something didn't make it though...our luggage. I knew it wouldn't since we barely made it. So, we reported it and went on the to hotel. I was planning on changing clothes, brushing my hair, and freshening up my makeup--but nope I didn't have any of it. So we decided we might as well head down to the casino and the strip. I stuck my driver's license, room card, and some money in my back pocket...I was ready to go! We played a few slots at our hotel then we walked next door to the beautiful Venetian. As we were walking around I spotted a restroom and decided to make a quick stop. I did my business and as I was pulling my pants up, what did I notice in the toilet...my hotel room key. I thought, oh that is so weird. I checked my pocket and all that was left was my money. Yes, my driver's license was GONE. I did what I NEVER thought I would do and I stuck my hand in the toilet to get my room key and see if my DL was stuck in the flusher part---nope---gone. I washed my hands with lots of soap and hot water and walked out, scared to death of what Seth would say. I told him and he took it better that I thought. I decided to go back and check around the floor again, but still gone. We walked back to our hotel, and yes about half way there I just started to cry. I was so upset and felt bad that I ruined our trip. Seth thought people were going to think I just lost a lot of money!! We got to our room and called the airline to see about gettimg home without my DL. Luckily I had my work ID that has my picture on it and my FABULOUS sister went to my house, got my social security card, and over nighted it to me. Getting on the plane with those things wasn't bad at all, just walked right on as usual!! Thank goodness!! And before you ask how many drinks I had before this happened...ZERO!!!!!!!!!! I had no beer the entire trip! I didn't gamble much either. I was scared I would get in trouble if I got caught! It was fine, I just picked out the slot machines, wathced Seth push the buttons, and sipped on sprite and water (once again no Dr. Pepper).



Well our luggage made it there around midnight and we went on with our little vacation. Our main reason to go was for Seth to bowl. It was a big deal. It was a National competition. He is an AWESOME bowler and he bowled like crap. They all did. He did have one good game, he had the first 7 strikes. I was nervous for him. I can't watch when he has that many strikes. We don't make any kind of eye contact...it is nerve racking. On the 8th frame he left one pin standing. I thought I was the only one watching Seth, but EVERY person around me (and only 1 knew Seth) made a big sigh. How cool is that, my hubby rocks at bowling so much that people notice him and watch him. How lucky am I!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luckily his bowling didn't ruin our trip. We still had fun and we want to go back.


Sorry, no pics. Not a single one was taken. They didn't allow it during bowling, and we just didn't think about it while out and about!
