Vegas, Baby!

Hank and I have been wanting to take a couple trip for a while. We've talked about the moutains, the beaches, and even vegas. I have some friends who live in Vegas, so I guess we could stay with them... but what kind of 'alone time' would that encourage??

One of my friends flew to Vegas and got married about 3 years ago and loved it! They only invited one friend each and a few family members and said that they had the time of their lives!! How fun is that? Of course it was the second marriage for each of them, so they didn't want to hoopla the second time around!

A lady at church said there are a lot of free things you can do in Vegas, too. I would like to do a little research. Maybe we could do an anniversary trip there and renew our vows or something! That would be romantic!

Where did the time go?

After Christmas, I plan to start saving some money for mine and Hank's anniversary. We've been together, dating and all, for 8 years. In April, we celebrate 6 years of marital bliss! On our first anniversary, Hank did some research and found our that it was traditional to give me a pearl necklace set, so that's what he did. I love it and wear it often! I did the paper theme and gave him a gift certificate. Since then, we've been too busy having and taking care of our three children to fool with it much. This year, I'm planning something special. As you may know, my husband is a University of Alabama alum and a HUGE fan (to say the least)! He has 3 Daniel Moore prints that have never been properly framed. For Christmas, my parent's framed one for him and I plan to frame one or both of the remaining prints for our anniversary. I know it doesn't seem very romantic... I mean, it isn't a pearl necklace... but I can guarantee you he is gonna squeal like a little girl when he gets them! They mean that much to him!
