Viva Las Vegas

So I'm here in Vegas for my National Sales Meeting, in this pretty swanky resort Green Valley Ranch and Resort. It is awesome! The bad part about it is they are keeping us so busy we are all exhausted. I am also assuming that is to keep us out of trouble as well. Tonight was the first night that I actually made it down to the strip. We went down to Paris Paris to see the Producers with Tony Danza. He is still so adorable and I just wanted to kidnap him and bring him home with me. Still as cute as we was on Who's The Boss. Tomorrow we get free time and a bunch of people on my team are going down to the strip in the afternoon and spending all day down there. Now if I can only find Elvis tomorrow!

Wii have been having so much fun:-)

So we were one of the lucky ones that were able to find a Wii. Actually, we started talking about it after our new tv and how awesome the games would look on it. So, last week on my way home from one of my store calls, I thought I would stop at every Best Buy, Circut City, and Toys R Us on the way home. At my final stop at a super shady mall, I found one! The place was so shady the store clerk shushed me when I asked if they had any! They carried it out in a bag so no one in the store would see it, and then they triple bagged it for me to get out of the mall. I was completely paranoid, and power walked as fast as I could to my car. As soon as I got in the car I had the doors locked, but then had to take it out of the 3 bags to examine my prize! We are addicted to it! I worked from home today and it was very hard to get my work done and not play! It is crazy to think about how far Nintendo has come, with my first games of Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt!

I am also sitting here watching the Ohio State game. I had to smile at the grocery this evening with my Ohio State t-shirt on and 3 different people said "Go Bucks" to me! I can't bring myself to put my Buckeye necklace on this year. I wore it last year and they got their butts kicked. . . so now it's just in my lap. Let's hope they don't disappoint this year!

Go Bucks!

Happy New Years!


I hope all of you had a wonderful evening! We spent the evening at our friends Steve and Jodi's house, here are some pics of the evening. As you can see above, I made my first ever jello shots to take to the party. My only question is, what would have happened if we would have been pulled over on the way to the party with the jello shots in the tray? Does that count as open container?

I have also uploaded some pictures from our trip home to Ohio and Christmas with our niece and nephew. I must admit, I was very excited when Uncle Adam and myself did not get in trouble for purchasing them the indoor trampoline. (There are a lot of pics here!)

Wrapping up our trip to Ohio we met up with some friends and played beer pong at the Beta Theta Pi house at Wittenberg. Justin and I are beer pong champs for the 2nd year in a row!!
