Nine years in Sin City

Ben and I celebrated nine years of marriage on the 9th of this month. Wow! That's hard to believe. Time has really gone by fast. My parents were kind enough to extend an invite to Las Vegas. We jumped at the opportunity to take a break and I'm so happy that we did because we had a great time.
My favorite part of the trip was a Cirque Du Soleil show that we went to called "Love". It was all Beatles songs and it was AWESOME! The dancers/performers were so amazing and talented. I got some serious tears in my eyes at several different points in the show. It was all just too awesome. I love music. It just does something for me. And I had forgotten how much I like the Beatles.
After the first night there, my feet were already KILLING ME! So I got into my purse to get some bandages and came across some pantyliners. It was then that I had an "Ah ha" moment.
Hey, don't mock it 'til you try it. You'll thank me...
I couldn't stop loving the Palm trees. I think that they are so beautiful. I just love them.

Ben, can I keep him??

Don't you love the fountains at Bilagio? So breathtaking. This also gets me all teary eyed.

I had to post this pic of my cute mom and dad. Dad wanted a picture of them looking into the distance. My mom thought it was a lame idea but I took the picture anyway cause that's what Dad wanted. So cute! Thanks for the fun memories. Love you kidos!

Hanging out at the Las Vegas Temple...literally.


Can I just tell you how much I LOVE this man. He is seriously the greatest blessing in my life. It really is true that LOVE is all you need.
Love you Hona! Happy anniversary!

You two are so cute. Love the pic of him carrying you on his shoulders. Can't wait to hang with you guys...in April. Darn that march madness!
So Love was good huh? We saw "O" when we were there and it was pretty good. But now you make me want to see Love. Those shows can be very strange, can't they?
Glad you had a good time. Happy 9 years!

Ute Family said...

Oh yeah, I can't believe you wore panty liners on your feet. Did you really walk around like that? You're crazy...and hilarious!

Amelia said...

Wow. 9 years! Ok I will stop pretending to be surprised. I have always remembered your anniversary since I used your wedding date as a landmark of when me and TJ had our first date-I believe it the same weekend of your wedding- so I am a bit of a stalker in remembering what date you got married.. weird I know...

Lisa said...

Hey Ash! I was thinking about you guys earlier when it was your anniversary. Congrats! We're coming right up on 8 years. Where does the time go?! We're getting to be old ladies. I've been thinking about you and just wanted to say that I love and miss you bunches!
