this week

This week unfortunately is not to eventful so there's not allot to write about. With work I mainly have been with the older 3's in the mornings or older 2's and infants every afternoon. I had a couple of unexpected days where I got off early, and that was lovely. The weekend was not to eventful really. I helped someone color their hair. Watched the new Alice in Wonderland movie which I knew I'd like. Had dinner, swam, and slept. Yeah not to eventful in my opinion. I do have to shout out a huge HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!! to Phantom of the Opera in Vegas which celebrated it's 4th year of being there this year. That was pretty amazingly awesome. Now I have to find a way to go see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway I think that would be amazing. Anyhow, until next week have a blessed and amazing week.

Happy Father's Day!

So this week was interesting I ended up having closing hours after Monday for the week. It was not to bad cause I was trying to get back into the swing of being back at work. Tuesday I had a staff meeting, and learned my boss is pregnant. Then Friday was water play day, and it was fun. I love water play days cause usually I am with the little ones. To see them and their innocents and the water is a joy for me. I made a mistake in I stayed in the sun so the kids could play and not be cold. I didn't realize I had basically put myself in the sun for a hour. So I was sick over the weekend because of it, but I would do it all again. Saturday I went out with Rachel, Ethan, Trisha, Jonathan and Darrell for a special dinner for Rachel's birthday. Sunday I went out to see in the heights. It's a musical that takes place 'in the heights' and it's about home, and being home. It was really touching. It is also father's day so I called my dad to wish him happy fathers day. I love my father VERY much. I have always looked up to him for strength. I know my choices in my life are not what he would like me to do, but they are my choices. They are where I feel I need to be in my life. Regardless of this he loves me and supports me. This is always reassuring to me when I get times where I am down. I also look to him for inspiration to go for the dreams I have. I watched my father build a business and life for his family and I find strength in this as well. I also have a deep love for my father in heaven who without I would certainly not be where I am. He's always loving compassionate and understanding of all that I am faced with. It's a comfort to know i can pray, and communicate with him at ANYtime ANYplace in open or private. I am so very blessed and proud of the Father in my life.

Vegas

OK well this is a update in a nutshell I had a interesting week at work last week, full of adventure and mishaps, but over all it was a nice week. Friday and Saturday were spent celebrating Rachel's birthday. Sunday I started my Vegas trip where I had a ordeal just getting TO Vegas. It was interesting for sure the plane had a computer issue and then a valve issue so we ended up getting off the plane. RUNNING to a flight leaving in 2 minutes. We got to Vegas about 3 hours later than expected, but it wasn't bad. We had fun walking the strip we ran into characters Woody from Toy story, Freddy Kruger, a fallen angel, Elvis, Joker, Scooby Doo, chicken, mini Elvis and a ton more I can't remember. We went to the M&M factory and coke store. Monday we went to the Kings Ransom Museum. This was the highlight along with Phantom. The kings ransom museum was in our hotel, and only $12 to get into. It was worth the price for the priceless time I had. I got to go in, and see personal items from Elvis. Things he collected and wore bedspread, and I think my favorite was the picture of Lisa his daughter who was 5. It said 'to my daddy' it was great. I got to meet Jimmy Velvet who was a personal friend of Elvis. He shared with me how fun and kind Elvis was he also shared how he was a practical joker as well. He also shared some of his personal stories of Bon Jovi. I then met Cyntha Pepper she worked with Elvis when she was 28 and he was 29 in 1964 making a movie called Kissing Cousins. She was so kind and share with us about how nice Elvis was, and that he was a good kisser. After this we went to Phantom, and I loved it. It was a different experience. I won't ruin it for anyone who might like to see it, but it was awesome, and more 'interactive' if you'd like to know details I'll happily share them in e-mail messages or face book messages. Tuesday we went to the Shark Reef this was cool we got to walk and see lots of creatures. I love water life and oceans and fish so this was so cool for me. I got to walk in this one area called shipwreck cove where it was like being under the ocean. All the fish and sharks it was SO AWESOME! then we went to Tournament of Kings it's a Joust dinner and show. It was about a hour and a half long. My love of Renaissance Festivals made this so much fun! I loved the food and the horses and the story. It was allot of fun and relaxing. Wednesday we came home other than a passenger being on jerk on the plane. It was a uneventful trip, and I am just catching up, and enjoying my next few days off of work. Resting my poor sore legs and feet. I have pictures on face book if your interested see them there. Until later enjoy :)
