What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

Braden and I went down to Las Vegas Sunday afternoon. I had a Jane Iredale Makeup Training on Monday, so we decided it would be worth it to spend the night since i was getting paid. We stayed in the Mirage. I had my first gambling experience...quite a good experience. It took me a while to figure out what i was doing, then i found the machine that i knew would be good to me. I won 50 dollars off of that machine in one push of a button. Being the high roller that I am, of coarse i would switch machines because i knew what i was doing. I moved 2 machines over and pulled the magic lever...chaching, 30 more dollars. It was a good gambling night for me. I left my winnings with Braden while i was at meetings all day on Monday, and wouldn't you know...he lost all of it but 20 dollars. I am confident that he would have lost it all if he didn't have to come pick me up. We had a fun time even though we left with empty pockets.

Pine Valley Getaway
















Friday March 6th I only had to work a half day, So Braden had a bright idea to go to Pine Valley that afternoon. We packed up some stuff and headed to the cabin. Braden decided that it would be a grand idea to take the pinto dirt road there...it wasn't quite a dirt road, it was more like a mud/snow/ice road. He had a blast driving on it, but I had some serious anxiety by the time we made it there. Braden built a fire and I made pizza for dinner, then we watched a movie. Harley absolutely loved it because there was a lot of snow and he loves playing in the snow. The water was shut off at the cabin, so we headed home that night so i wouldn't have to freeze my cheeks going outside. It was a fun adventure and a fun break from life!
