Am I crazy?

Does anyone watch “The Duggars?” I like the show, I really do…but…does anyone get a weird cult feeling from them? Sometimes it almost makes me feel uncomfortable to watch. Evan can no longer watch it with me because he said it makes him feel uneasy. I completely respect their lifestyle but there are some things they do or say that makes my jaw drop. Tonight’s episode was like double Duggar with their friends “The Bates.” The two wives looked eerily the same. Please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks this way!!!

Keys off Vegas on!

After weighing all of our options, it looks like we won't be able to go to the Keys after all. The weather there was going to be crappy and we didn't think we would have enough time there between non-revving and driving. Instead, we decided we would go to Vegas. We've been several times and wandered around and enjoyed the sights but this time Evan said "if we are going to go then we are going to do it all this time." We plan on taking in a Cirque show, all the Stratosphere rides (help me), possibly the Hoover Dam and the strip clubs! Okay just kidding about the strip clubs. We also decided to stay in downtown as opposed to the strip. The main reason for that is the major remodel of the Golden Nugget and its new shark tank pool. It looks awesome!

I'm very excited about our trip but extremely nervous about the Stratosphere rides. Two of them hang over the edge. We can pay $27.00 and gain admittance to the top and ride the three rides they have. Evan said I need to "man up." I guess I'll just suck it up and do it, but I am going to have a glass or two of wine before I get on. That should make everything better.

Has anyone seen any of the Cirque shows? I hear 'Love' is a favorite. We still trying to decide on which show to see, so send me your suggestions.

That's all for now. Peace out!

Need Your Suggestions

This weekend is our 2nd wedding anniversary and Evan and I were thinking about going to Key West for a few days. Has anyone been? Can you offer any suggestions for hotels? I’ve picked out a couple that we can book, but I always like to here suggestions from people who have been there. Anything special we should do while we are there besides drink, be merry and make babies? We’re open to suggestions if you’ve got them.

History has been made

Folks, welcome your new president.

Today Evan and I went and voted for the very first time. I know, I can hear all of you yelling on the other end. I think I speak for both of us when I say that we have very apolitical most of our lives. This year was different and important and we gladly cast our vote. Now, we play the waiting game.

A baby shower, a Hot Carl and a whole lot of black velvet

I have been meaning to post the pictures from Lisa's baby shower that we had last weekend, but I've been a little slow. We had a great time! She got permission to use one of her model homes for the shower. It was beautiful! We ate lots of food, played the poopy diaper game and opened gifts. Lisa is the cutest pregnant women ever! I can't wait for Baby D to get here.

Very funny

Awww!

So many cute clothes!

Eric is going to look fabulous wearing his man carrier!


After Lisa's shower, Diana, and I headed over to a friend's to pick up the hubbys. Fortunately, Hot Carl was three sheets to the wind by the time we got there. He provided us with some excellent entertainment. I hope that he pays Diana huge sums of money to put up with his shenanigans because I would have disowned him by now. He finished an entire bottle of Black Velvet by himself!!! It makes me sick just thinking about it. Apparently, it made him sick too because Diana had to pull off the interstate to let him watch the Black Velvet come up the other way. She said he passed out but woke up one time randomly singing a song and then he passed back out again. Oh the power of the Hot Carl.

He's like the brother I wish I never had!

He actually looks sober here...too bad he's not.

No Evans were harmed in the making of this photo

This picture says it all.

For those of you who know Hot Carl and know what Hot Carl means, I hope you thoroughly enjoyed this post.
