ATLANTIC CITY!!!

We took the bus trip to Atlantic City today with Adam and Jen and couldn't have asked for a better day. We arrived at Trump Plaza around 11:30, played some blackjack, and then had lunch at Longhorn Steakhouse. After that, we gorged on some candy from 'It's Sugar' and then played a little more craps and blackjack. We had such a good time in AC and can't wait until our Vegas trip in May!

12 WEEKS (3 MONTHS)

Today was a super exciting day for Dave and I because we had our first OB appointment. The doctor confirmed that I was officially 12 weeks pregnant and we were able to see the little baby on the ultrasound and hear his/her heartbeat. Luckily, the doctor said she only saw ONE baby and not twins. Wouldn't that have been something? :-) It is such an exciting time for us and we are excited to share it with you. Here are a few pictures from the day: Me with my 12 week ultrasound photoUltrasound photo of the little fetus. The doctor said he/she was moving around quite a bit so it was amazing to see! We are so excited for this wonderful time in our life. We will keep you posted as we have additional updates!!

COASTAL FLATS WITH THE GIRLS

It had been way too long since I'd seen my lovely girlies, Pam and Lindsay, so we decided to have a girls day at Tyson's Corner. We dined at Coastal Flats, which was delicious, and did what we do best - SHOPPED!! The day was so much fun and we definitely have to get together more often. Love you, girls!

THE BIG 3-0

Well folks..........the day has finally arrived where I turn the BIG 3-0!! I can officially no longer claim the twenties and am now referred to by my husband as his 'OLD BAG.' :-)Dave took me to Vegas a few weeks ago to celebrate my birthday and surprised me with balloons and gorgeous roses today. We completed the evening by indulging in fiesta cheese fondue, meats, and chocolate fondue at the Melting Pot. This is becoming an annual tradition. See pictures below..........

LAS VEGAS FOR MY 30TH BIRTHDAY

Dave is by far the BEST HUSBAND in the world because he took me to my favorite place on earth for my 30th birthday - LAS VEGAS!!! My actual birth date is not until January 27, but I wanted to see David Copperfield and he was only in Vegas through January 11. We stayed at the Luxor, ate at 3 buffets, gambled, shopped, saw David Copperfield and Criss Angel BeLIEve. It was a very 'magical' weekend. (haha - get it because we saw two magicians? ok ok.......moving on) It was the best birthday present ever!! Here are a few pictures from the trip:
Luxor Hotel - the hotel is in the shape of a pyramid so the inside was really cool looking.
Me in front of one of Criss Angel's motorcycles at the Luxor
On the first night, we went to our favorite buffet at Mandalay Bay. As you can tell from the pictures below, we definitely enjoyed ourselves! There were crab legs, shrimp and all the desserts you could ask for!
Dave and I playing some slots before getting ready to see Criss Angel BeLIEve.
This was our second time seeing Criss Angel BeLIEve; however, I'm a huge fan of magic and illusions so I wanted to see it again. This time around, we had seats in Row D so we had a great view of the show. The show was amazing and I would highly recommend it!!
The next day, we went to the Bellagio for their breakfast buffet and I did a little shopping at the Caesar's forum shops while Dave bet on the football games.

On the last night, we went to see David Copperfield at the MGM Grand. I saw him many times when I was younger so I was really looking forward to seeing his Las Vegas show. While we were waiting for the show to start, they asked if I would be willing to participate in the show. I couldn't believe it and of course I said "yes." I was soooo excited that I could barely contain myself. During the show, David Copperfield selected me from the audience and I got to go on stage with him. He placed a paper butterfly on my shoulder and made it turn into a real butterfly right before my eyes. It was amazing and a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. We weren't able to bring cameras into the theater, but here are some pictures outside of the theater.
Thank you to my husband for the best 30th birthday ever! I will never forget it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Christmas is one of my favorite holidays because I get to spend it with my entire family. My mom has seven brothers and sisters so it's the one time of year that I get to see my grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins. It's the best!
My Mom and I at my parents house. Their house always looks so nice at Christmas time!
My parents

My Dad and ISince my family is so big, my grandma rents out a bed and breakfast to have our Christmas dinner at each year. It's so nice and the food is wonderful! OH MY - Look at that dessert table!! It sure is a good thing I ran that morning because I went in for the kill! My cousin's son, Bradley. He is the best baby ever. I don't think I heard him cry once the whole time we were at dinner.
My cousin, Megan, and I. It was so fun seeing her and her family. I miss her so much and wish we got to see each other more.
My Aunt Nancy and I. She got me the cutest Juicy Couture shoe charm. It was another wonderful Christmas with the family! The only missing links were my hubby and puppy. Dave had to work on Christmas, but I felt good knowing that he and the dog were keeping each other company. Dave even prepared a Christmas meal for himself and Sampson when he got home from work. They enjoyed ham, stuffing, and all the trimmings. That's right - the dog got an entire plate too!! Just like Thanksgiving, dogs need a Christmas dinner too. :-)

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
