Las Vegas or BUST!

This time next week I will be sitting down in Vegas to watch the Blue Man Group. Followed by a series of unforgettable activites that can only be experienced in Vegas. I must say that I am so excited. This will be my first time in Vegas and I plan to experience it completely...minus a few things of course. I will be attending Phantom of the Opera on Tuesday night in the SECOND row!!!! I am so excited I can hardly stand myself. I am going with my husband (this is my hubby stud in Mexico) and his parents on a buisness trip. The real reason we are going is to visit the SEMA convention. This is where all the new truck and car accessories are introduced to sellers. It covers over a mile on the strip in the Vegas Convention Center. My mother-in-law and I will be going to this one day with the guys but we will spend a couple of the days visiting all the outlet malls in Vegas. Can anyone say shoes?! I am so excited and ready to take a break from the frantic pace of school and trying to absorb all the information. I have a really crazy week ahead of me as a I finish all my homework and turn it in a week early so that I won't have anything to worry about on the trip. I really want to be able to relax and enjoy myself with my husband and his parents. We really do get along well and I am finding that I am thinking of them more as family now than I used to. I had a hard time with this when Jayson and I first got married. But on that note I am going to sign off, if you don't hear from me in the next two weeks, you now know why! Yay VEGAS!!!

Thanks to Halfmoon Girl

I found this over on Halfmoon Girl's blog and had to post it here. This was just too funny to keep quiet! Here ya go!

Kids are asked questions about marriage...and, OH! how they answered!!

How do you decide who to marry?

"You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming." Alan, age 10

"No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with." Kirsten, age 10

What is the right age to get married?

"Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then." Camille, age 10

"No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married." Freddie, age 6

How can a stranger tell if two people are married?

"Married people usually look happy to talk to other people." Eddie, age 6

"You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids." Derrick, age 8 (that was one of my favorites!)

What do you think your Mom and Dad have in common?

"Both don't want no more kids." Lori, age 8

What do most people do on a date?

"Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough." Lynnette, age 8

"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." Martin, age 10

What would you do on a first date that was turning sour?

"I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns." Craig, age 9

When is it OK to kiss someone?

"When they're rich." Pam, age 7

"The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that." Curt, age 7

"The rule goes like this: if you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do". Howard, age 8

Is it better to be single or married?

"I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have s*x with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out." Theodore, age 8

"It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them." Anita, age 9

"Single is better, for the simple reason that I wouldn't want to change no diapers. Of course, if I did get married, I'd just phone my mother and have her come over for some coffee and diaper changing." Kirsten, age 10

How would the world be different if people didn't get married?

"There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?" Kelvin, age 8

"You can be sure of one thing - the boys would come chasing after us just the same as they do now." Roberta, age 7

How would you make a marriage work?

"Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck." Ricky, age 10

Time to post!

Well it has been a while since I have been able to do a post. School has picked up and I have been doing about 20 hours a week of homework on average. I guess that isn't too bad. Life has been good around here, it keeps on changing and sometimes those changes are scary but for the most part they have been good! For example, we are thinking about selling our house to buy one that isn't finished yet so that we can finish it ourselves. This really excites me! I think we can buy the house fairly cheep and finish it with the colors and styles that fit Jayson and I best. If we buy this house there will be room to grow, I like this idea. The house that we are in now is about as big as a closet, about 730 square feet. This is a tiny house but we bought it when we were 19 and had no credit at all so I am proud of it. If we buy this other house we will more than double our space as it is about 1500 square feet. It has three bedrooms and two baths and a HUGE utility room! I never thought I would be excited about that...wow, that would be an example of how life changes:). I am turning into my mother:). It is actually right across the street from the house that we live in now. I love the location of our house. It is so central to everything that we need and it is really close to my sister and brother in law, since I share a yard with them now:).

Christmas is almost here...75 days to be exact. This makes me happy. I love Christmas. I love the colors and the smells and the family and the happiness. I love the candel light service we do at midnight at our church. This really helps me to focus and remember what life is about and what Christmas is about.

Well I have to get back to homework, I hope this post meets you all well!
