Part 1....... of many!

So here we go... sorry been away in Cali with the fam- then the comp wasnt working :(

We first got engaged in mid June. We decided a few days later that we wanted to Elope! Thought it was the coolest idea ever. No Stress of planning and wasting money on a wedding - we wanted something unique- and just the 2 of us! So we quickly booked the flight and hotel to Viva Las Vegas. The key was keeping it top secret- just the usual bla bla bla- made up stories eveyone expects. It was fun and yet July was a bit stressful! Running around getting all our stuff ready for the wedding.

That Aug 5th morning- we left at 6am- for the border. Of course starbucks first for our drinks. No problem! Also saw another bride carrying her dress on the flight. We actually saw them on 8.8.08- she was like congrats! Too funny. We flew on Allegiant air into Vegas- arrived around 12:20 pm. 110 degree weather! Death! But beautiful scenery. It really reminded me of Hawaii- I miss it that much! It was not as crazy as I thought. I saw alot of kids too! Very geared to them as well. I love it!!!!!!!!
So we head to the MGM grand. We found a sweet junior suite- with jacuzzi bath- I had one at least once a day Comon. We got it on craigs list. For only $149 a night. It was beautiful!

We has some nice chinese food for lunch- then just walked around the strip- looking at the sights. We did alot of walking. We got a bottle of wine & had some fish/ chips around 10. The day went sooooo fast and we were quite tired. We watched some tv later- and passed out around midnight. We had alot to do the next day- including getting our marriage licsence!
