What happens in Vegas...

Sarah's bachelorette party in Las Vegas was AMAZING! Us girls had such a GREAT time!

Our trip started off great as soon as we walked into our luxury suite at The Flamingo. Who would have thought to put TVs in the bathroom mirrors? Ha-Ha! It was the biggest hotel suite I've ever been in! More to come...

We were then off to dinner at Cafe Ba Ba Reeba for some Spanish style food and peach Sangria.







Tao at The Venetian after was interesting...loved the girls floating in the bath tubs of rose petals, but not the creepy guys.



Saturday was our day on the strip shopping, drinking Sarah's favorite (Starbucks), riding the roller coaster at New York, New York, and discovering the convenient bus line! The European style pool at The Flamingo later was a little shocking, but SO much fun once we found some chairs to lounge on and avoided the topless older women. Pool volleyball rocked, accept Kate wasn't on my team :(



Night came and it was time to get dressed up. We grabbed the buffet at the Excalibur (so not worth over-eating at) and got in our seats for Thunder from Down Under. Sorry, ladies - no cameras were allowed. I highly recommend the show though, especially for a ladies trip to Vegas. If you feel like being sexually harassed and put on the spot, make it to the Thunder from Down Under show!

After our cheeks hurt from laughing and smiling at the oiled down Australians (sorry Robby...), we headed to The Palms for the rest of the night for the star treatment we somehow received for being a 'bachelorette party' group. We got into all of the clubs, fast and free-of-charge. My favorite was Ghost Bar and Rain. Ghost Bar had a stunning view of the strip, and Rain played TECHNO! What more could you ask for? We saw Michael Phelps at Rain, but he wouldn't take a picture with any of us ladies. Kind of gay, right?

It was definitely one of the best trips to Vegas I've ever had. It was great celebrating this exciting time with Sarah and I hope she had fun with all the games I planned for her, including a sexy panty game which she did extremely well at! I was so proud!



I love you, Sarah! Only 1 more week and you'll be hitched!



I'll post more pictures once I do some swapping with my friends! I'm definitely playing catch-up! And p.s., red bull is dangerous to phones!

Love,
C

Vegas, Baby!

I'm heading off to Vegas tomorrow for my friend, Sarah’s bachelorette party and will have LOTS to talk about when I get back on Sunday, I’m sure! I’ll try to take some good pictures at Thunder From Down Under… if cameras are allowed that is! Ha-ha!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Love,
Cheryl

Just for Laughs

My Toastmasters Club is hosting a Humorous Speech Contest Thursday, August 28th at 7:00 p.m.!!!! And the best part? You're invited!!! (It's FREE to come watch)

Come enjoy a rollicking romp through misadventure and hilarity as told by our members in their true life stories of mistaken identity, untimely calamities, and improbable parenting mishaps. It will be a VERY funny night, unlike any other club meeting…

My club meets in historic down-town Gilbert in the original Gilbert Public Library.

Breaking Dawn Release Party

Tayler, Heather and I went to Barnes and Noble for the release of Stephenie Meyer's last book in her vampire saga, Breaking Dawn, on Aug. 2nd.

We had SO MUCH FUN, finished the book within days, and even started our very own book club!!! Let me know if you're interested in joining!

Here are some pictures from the event!






In case you haven't read this series, I HIGHLY recommend you do, and soon! It's basically the best series IN THE WORLD and once you read the first one, you won't want to stop! Vampires, love, suspense, and bizarre twists. What more could you ask for? I'm obsessed, I'm even considering getting a tattoo of a quote from the book, LOL....

Here are the books:


Have a great week!

Love,
Cheryl
