where's the charger when you need it?!

Laughlin was AH-MAZING!

unfortunately after the first picture taken on the trip my camera died.

(yay me for forgetting to charge before and not bringing the charger with)

There are so many odd  fun people in the desert.

I will never forget Norm, our forgetful black jack dealer

who does nothing and is damn good at it.
He doesn't know this but, i adopted him as my Gpa
BTW, first time i really tried black jack...

after all is said and done,

and broke my wallet

the free pineapple vodkas were so worth it!
(or that's what i keep telling myself, when I'm eating top ramen for the rest of the week)

TGIF

Laughlin this weekend!

Time to relax and have some fun!

To the silver year!

I figured it be a nice time to finally post pictures from my parents

25th Wedding Anniversary Party!

mom and dad holding their wedding picture ( and aunty carol creepin' in the background)

we were able to pull off decor, food, cake, drinks, for the 60 people who came all under $400!

I wish I took more pictures of the back yard, since that's where most of the decor was.

Parentals toasting with champagne

they had been saving since their big day 25 years ago.

Of course, we chose to hold this on the HOTTEST day of the year

(105 is bad for us californians)

we opened the pool up for everyone to enjoy, hense my mom in her bathing suit.

This what you get with my mom and sis, broken ac, and cake.

Overall, the day went great. My parents enjoyed every minute of it!

To another 25 years!

i can feel it in the air!

the leaves are starting to turn!


and Pumpkin Spice Latte!
probably not good for my diet, but so delicious!

The Help

best movie I've seen in a looong time.

Emma Stone was great, and the rest of the cast was superb!

It was hard to watch how cruel white women were to colored women, 

just how cruel "americans" were to other "americans" in general,

made me think of how we treat eachother now a days.

 highly recommend it!
