We took our gift cards in and went SHOPPING!!! We had an amazing time and it turns out we are really good spending money! The two things we picked up that I HAVE to share with everyone are---- Dryer Balls and Hercules Hooks!!! Amazing inventions. First, the dryer balls- we got the regular ones with the little nubbies (they also make yellow ones with blue stripes for extra static guard). Instead of using dryer sheets, just toss the balls in the dryer with the wet clothes. The clothes came out normal and they dried in one dryer cycle instead of 2! They say you can use two or three sets if needed. Two thumbs up!
Now for the Hercules Hooks- buy them. We got a pack and Cory was able to hang the picture in less than a minute with no tools. We have yet to try them on something really heavy but I will keep you posted when we try it. Plus, the hole in the wall is so small- much better than the holes from when I hung the picture trying to use the drill :o) Let me know if you need some for Christmas!!!

Finally Married!!!
What a strange day! I am sitting here realizing that I don't have anymore wedding planning to do and my weekends are almost back to normal. Thank you's are coming but I have to just take a few minutes (ok it has turned into a few hours!) and enjoy my day.
I wanted to thank everyone for coming out to Colorado and sharing out wedding day with us. The day was almost perfect :o) I can't wait to see the pictures!!! Our honeymoon trip to Vegas was great- other than the fact that the lows at night we still in the 80's- over 100's during the day! Cory enjoys the warm weather and the sun so I think he had a little better time outside than I did :o) We got in early Sunday morning and weren't able to get into our room until after 4:30 (contrary to what the first lady said at 8:00am when we checked in). The first room they put us in was stupid so I called guest services and got our room changed- so we at least got to stay on the 8th floor- not too bad an we had a great view of the pool.
During our walking aroung on Sunday waiting for our room, we got talked into signing up for time share tour so we got tickets to see Cirque de Solei Mystere and Nate Burton (comedy magician). On Monday, we went to dinner at Areole, a 5 star restaurant in Mandalay Bay. It was an amazing dinner and we had the highest dinner tab we have ever had :o) Earlier that day Cory introduced me to Roulette and it turns out I am really good at it! Tuesday we went to see Mystere which was amazing!!! We were about 10 rows from the stage and people were flying right over our heads. Incredible show!
On wednesday morning we decided to go to the pool in the morning- it was crazier than in the casinos! People are vultures for the "good" seats on the edge of the pool and it was hilarious to watch. The older the person, the more likely they were to steal someone else's chair if they got up! Shortly after we got down to the pool, I realized that I didn't bring any sunscreen- oops! I had to get some at the poolside store- choices were SPF 4, 10, 15, 25, and 50- guess which one I got? Yep, nothing like laying out beside a pool with SPF 50 covering any exposed skin :o) Keep in mind, I am laying beside Cory who just keeps getting darker during the day with no suncreen on. After we left the pool, we hit the roulette tables and won some more money. We decided to go to the Carnaval Court bar where the bartenders do all the flipping bottles and stuff and hang out for the afternoon. We took the rest of our winnings and went out for another nice dinner.
On Thursday morning, we got up early to get the "good seats" at the edge of the pool. We suceeded and had a great day the pool. Carefully following the directions on the bottle, I applied my SPF 50 after each time of getting out of the pool, except the last time when we were just drying off to go upstairs. Turns out, I can still get burned everywhere with SPF 50, a little crazy. We finished the day with roulette and used the winnings from that day to go a little crazy with room service.
We left for the airport a little early because I was worried about the gigantic lines we saw when we came in on Sunday morning. Turns out, the 3 hours I was ready for was only about 15 minutes- oops again. So we had 3 hours to spend at the airport after using the last of our money on the cab ride there. Fun. But one thing happened that I never thought I would see, our United flight left on time. Of course it was a horrible flight and at more than one point I thought we were going to die, but it did leave on time.
But we are home and safe. Back to reality of bills and taking care of the dog and cat. And work tomorrow- two weeks off has been nice! But at least we are married and ready for the rest of our lives now :o) Hope everyone had a safe trip back home and enjoyed your vacation to Colorado (or for those in CO- just enjoyed having a Friday off!!!)
We are still waiting to see the professional pictures but I would love to see any pics if someone has some they can share :o)
