So this week has been so crazy. I have been stalking the Vegas boards since last August when my FI and I decided to go to Vegas to get married. We decided then to surprise his kids on the way to the airport due to some past issues with an ex-wife. The kids do know we plan on getting married so no great surprise but unfortunately the little girl has missed every important event (every holiday, her birthday party, etc) because of mysterious illnesses, etc. So we have planned the wedding one of the weeks we have her over the summer. She thinks she is picking out a blue dress for a fancy dinner to celebrate her brother going in the Marines-little does she know it will be her dress for the wedding.
Anyway, we paid our deposit for a Mandalay Bay Shark Reef wedding because there will only be 4 of us( us two and his son and daughter) and that is our dream place. Check! It all happened to work out that we will be getting married on my parent's anniversary and they will be married 42 years this year. Also, on Friday my mom found out she has breast cancer-same day I got my dream engagement ring. Crazy how life works.I haven't pushed the issue because we have been paying for his nursing school and I thought there wasn't money. Little did I know he was working on a custom sapphire ring that is me to the core.
We also book our rental house that is crazy awesome since staying on the strip with an 18 year boy is not a smart idea. Staying off the strip with a house with a pool for August =smart idea to us.
We just booked our flights on southwest! Yippee. Now I am off to book photographer for photo strip tour, limo to take us to the airport and makeup artist! Check, check, check!!!!!
