Desert Rain

I love my crazy family- the one I married into and the one I was born into. This weekend we went to Las Vegas for my cousin Eric's wedding. If I could do it over again I would defiantly do it this way. My parents, Jacee, Chris and I left Lubbock at 4:50pm and got to Vegas at 5:00pm. In the airport my dad found a penny voucher next to a slot machine and put it in. He won one cent so he decided to "stop while he was ahead". He then found a dime and claimed Vegas was throwing money at him. Crazy guy.

We got to the hotel and we were greeted with hugs and kisses from Dondi! My Aunt Carrie , Uncle Jim, Jennifer Jacob, Grandmother and Granddad where right behind her ready to show us some love. Carrie did a great job setting out sandwich and snacks for everyone. She even bought a plastic kiddie pool, put it in the bathtub and filled it with adult beverages, cokes and waters.

Then It started to rain for about 20 mins. Who knew you had to goto the desert to finally see a thunder storm! Eric and Jordan showed up about and the party started. All the "kids" set out on the porch and laughed till about midnight. It was great.

On Saturday I got up 7 (Texas time). Thank goodness my mom is on the same clock as I am and woke up early. Dondi is on London time so she had been awake since 4 (noon London time). We all went and got breakfast for everyone and then had to wait till Vegas woke up to go and do anything.

We did the whole site-seeing thing

FYI:

There is some amazing people watching in Vegas

The wedding was at 6:00pm at Mandalay Bay.

The happy couple only had 30 minutes in the actually chapel before the next couple was scheduled. There was no Elvis to marry them. I know, i know I was disappointed too but it was short and sweet and beautiful.

It was a wonderful weekend and I'm so happy that Jordan is apart of this family!
