this past weekend was the absolute greatest.
beth was supposed to fly in from wyoming on friday morning where richard was going to pick her up, and then we would all be on our way....
BUT
beth's flight got delayed! and then it got cancelled! so there were a few good hours of us being super panicky and scared about who was going to pay for the extra tickets if she couldn't go and maybe she would be able to get a different flight and so many questions.
it was all very confusing.
but beth ended up being able to get a later flight straight to vegas! and we ended up picking up mary (both of whom richard and i had never met before. she ended up being super great.)
BUT
it was a super late flight!
it didn't get in until 8:45, and the show started at 8! luckily there was an opener, though. ben folds five wasn't supposed to go on until 9.
ben and the gang had played two and half songs and beth still wasn't there....but then she showed up! and it was so great! and we sang and swayed and all wished that we were standing up dancing around.
but it was so fun. we just had the best time. i had never met beth or mary before, but they were both so great and the trip wouldn't have bee as fun with anybody else!
this is what 67 degrees looks like, folks.
the whole night after the show, richard kept talking about how excited he was to get in the hot tub when we got back to the hotel. but because it was raining all day it was so cold when we got in it and we were all so sad, even though we stuck it out as long as we could.
so we compromised. with the biggest bath tub in the whole world. no shame.
(luckily the hot tub was working for night number two)
not this picture.
this was also the second morning. after everyone woke up....and then finally after i woke up, we got ready and went to my very most favourite place for breakfast.
EVER.
EggWorks! you might remember me mentioning it from my past vegas post, but maybe not because nobody actually reads this blog.
i was really worried and scared that everyone else would think it was gross, but it wasn't. it was awesome.
here is us loving eggworks!
then we went to the strip and walked around. and just loved life.
just in case nobody knew...richard is the nicest boy in the whole universe!!
on saturday he bought tickets for us to see one of the cirque de soleil-ish shows that night. "Le Rêve". which means The Dream in french.
it was at the wynn theatre (absolutely beautiful property, bytheway.)
here is us before going in.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
just...incredible.
you actually did feel like you were dreaming the whole time. it was larger than life. it was complete magic.
i took some pictures, and i wish i had the desire to explain each one to you, but i don't.
they also do not do it justice.
just...incredible.
earlier that day, i had done this...
just by having facebook search the the area, i found the chapel that sounded the cutest. for apparent reasons, little chapel of the flowers won. we didn't actually get married. i just thought it would be kind of funny to freak some people out. obviously, it worked.
anyways, when we were driving to...somewhere on saturday night, WE PASSED BY LITTLE CHAPEL OF THE FLOWERS! so OF COURSE we had to stop the car, turn around, and take fake wedding pictures. that's what any sane, normal person would do, right?
my heart will go on
so happy together

beth and mary love each other very much and finally decided to do something about it.
and the store where one of my favourite "nothing to do right now but watch tv" tv shows is filmed was right down the street!
and then of course this happened.
what road trip would be complete without a little jowling?
then sunday morning richard made the yummiest pancakes and we headed home!
(what a good sport to hang out with a bunch of girls for a whole weekend. i think his look of unhappiness is deserved here.)
i had the best time! i love vacations. i think that may be one of the main components of me going into hospitality management. so hopefully someday my whole life can just be one giant vacation.
yup.
that sounds pretty great to me.
I read it! Looks like a blast, sweetie. Glad you're making good memories in college.
