Life and a Vegas retreat!!

It's been a while since my last post, life has been normal for the empty nesters. Ron goes to work, to meetings, or when home, he is in his office working on bids, church agenda's and such!!
For me, I have started a little business "Forever Flowers" I enjoyed so much doing Sharies wedding flowers that I thought "why not make a little money on the side" in doing something I enjoy!!
I am on my 5th wedding now, (my 3rd was just the bouquet and boutonniere), but have enjoyed creating and occuping my time with something I enjoy. You can see all my flowers on my Facebook "Forever Flowers" page.,

Since my last post we have enjoyed a week at one of our timeshare places, in Vegas, it was nice because it was close but yet still felt like time away. I was enjoying my time so much that I really didn't even take many pictures (I forgot my camara) all I had was my phone so I did manage to take a few with my phone.  Friday March 29th Sharise and Craig, Ron and I arrived in Vegas, Saturday was pool time, and of coarse we listen to a long presentation about timeshare, but we got a free lunch out of it that day and $100.00 to eat anywhere in the South Point, which was fine with us because they have a Steak and Shake (its very tasty) which was one of Dan's favorite places in GA on his mission. Easter Sunday came, it was a different Easter but nice, the four of us attended Sacrament meeting.  Then Dan and Chantelle and little Haiven joined us. Then the Isom joined us for a couple days and we all enjoyed the pools. Wednesday came and I found myself there all by myself. Ron had a meeting tues night that he needed to be to and the last of them left Wed morning.
So being the Sun worshiper that I am, took that oppertunity to enjoy the sun down by the pools, but not with out alittle bit of worry on the side. My mom had gone in to have a battery replace in her pace maker that morning, so I laid in the sun, wondering how things were going in SLC. Mom called a little after 1 pm, she was home and doing well, so that last hour or so of laying in the sun, was worry free!!!!!!  After the sun worshiping I decided I would take a nice long bath in the jacuzzi, ahhhhh that was nice. I then wanted to go to the Factory stores, so I went to the front desk to see if their shuttle bus went there, but nope just to the casinos. She did give me the city bus schedule and mapped out where to catch it from there and at the factory stores. So that is just what I did. It was a little bit of a walk from the condo to the bus stop but it was a beautiful day, not to hot but lots of sunshine, so I took a bus ride to the stores, and looked around for a bit, found a shirt I liked and then decieded I would head back. Ron was on his way back to Vegas, so I went to the spot the lady had told me, right in front of a 7 Eleven, I went in to 7 Eleven  just to make sure the bus stop was there, and the gal told me yes and said the # of the bus that was to pick up there. So I had about 15 mins before the bus was to come. I people watched while waiting for the bus. Well the time came and went and no bus. I had been standing there for about 45 min when a couple came and asked if this was the bus stop and I said yes that is what I was told, but I have been here for 45 min. The next scheduled time was coming up, well guess what, that time came and went. I really was not to worried because I knew Ron was almost there so he could just come and get me. But can I tell you that standing on a street corner (on the strip) in Vegas really is not my idea of fun!!!!!!! Ron called, I explained where I was, we offered a ride to the couple that ended up waiting with me, they were headed in our same direction.
The Ogden family then joined us, we then enjoyed the pools with them. On Friday went to the Hoover dam. What an amazing bridge they have built across that area.  On saturday we returned to St. George to enjoy time with those at home and to listen to conference. There is nothing better than spending time with family. I love it!!!!!
I have a few pic I will post of our fun times in Vegas.










Those are the few pictures I took, didn't get everyone that was there, my old brain needs to remember to take pictures!!!!!!!
