Summer Vacation Part 1: Las Vegas (image heavy!)

Wheew!  We are back from our whirlwind vacation to Las Vegas and San Diego and we had a blast!  I am still unloading the aftermath and it took Bradley and me a good night of sleeping 10 hours to feel normal again but it was a great vacation.   On Friday Bradley, 3 of my good girlfriends and myself boarded a plane to Las Vegas.  The ladies and I had our own weekend getaway plans and Bradley was joining a group of his friends for a bachelor party weekend. The ladies and I spent a lot of time by the pool, shopping, and amazing dinners.  I didn't really ask the details of the boy's adventures but all I know is when we met back up with Bradley on Sunday he had a samurai sword in his possession.

Barf bag puppets. Bradley doesn't fly well so this is always a good distraction.






Art-O-Mat! A recycled cigarette machine turned into an instant art dispensor.  


After losing our money at the penny slots.  We gamble like old ladies.








See the rest here!

Damn You, Ben

Awwww...  Isn't he cute? This would be Ben my favorite little guy and one of my best friend's son.   Last Saturday the ladies and I made pizza, drank wine, broke some glasses, and walked to the neighborhood bar.  This little pipsqueak was hanging out for the first hour of the night and I should have listened when Rachel walked in a said "His nose has been running all day" but I didn't.  When we were making pizza he was hungry and I had a fuzzy warm flashback of being little and my aunt putting olives on my fingers. Ahhh...Sweet memories.  So I put olives on his fingers and watched in delight as he ate them and then fed one or two to me.  Fast forward to Monday and my nose has been running all day.  I wake up Tuesday and I am wicked sick till today which has been my 3rd day off of work.  I still don't feel great but I managed to drag myself to Target to get some more dayquil and I might have bought a dress.  Everyone that was at dinner Saturday has the same cold.   

So Dear Ben,  You are cute.  You are super germy.  And you taught me never to eat olives off of little kids fingers.  Loooooove,  Sara 

The Girl Effect

For Christmas my best friend, Rachel, donated to the Girl Effect, an organization that is dedicated to raising the standards of living and empowering young women. So cool!
