For spring break, Cale and I chose to escape to Vegas for a couple of days. Here are some pictures of the trip!

The strip.

Little story: I played a slot machine for the first time and turned a dollar into $1.50!!!!

I was so excited!

FAO Swartz in Cesars Palace... You may think it is just a toy store but if you ever see one GO! It will change your life I swear.  It ALMOST makes me want to have kids. almost.

  I have no idea why Cale plays along. 

christmas "vacation"

So I've been noticing lately that what is supposed to be christmas vacation isn't quite so.  The vacation started off shopping and preparing for christmas.  I love giving gifts though so it is worth is to me.  Another part of christmas I like is the baking part.  One of the best days of break thus far was the day I had Brooks and Keri over to make christmas cookies.  We only had time to make the one kind of cookie but seeing my friends was amazing.  I am frusterated that even while I'm on break it is still so hard to see my friends and family.  I still have yet to make plans with Brita- she is here from fresno for only a few weeks and I've yet to call her.  This half of vacation is a million times better than the first week and a half.  Cale driving 12 hour days for UPS worked out to be very lonely though I do admire him for all the hard work.  After all he worked 12 hour days for a week and a half before christmas and I am the one complaining.  He never complained once.  My husband is an amazing provider and I thank God for him everyday.  I'm lucky to have him.  Life at Outback has been decent to me.  I really don't care for the job... not the people  I work with or the managers or anything I just hate dealing with the public and waiting on people.  On a more positive note, I begin training for head wait this week.  It's not anything too special it just means that on saturdays I will stay till around  12:30 or so and do a bunch of office work... it offers more hours and the potential to make more money.  I will get a bigger station than the rest of the wait staff and the hostesses will be told to keep my tables full.  I will also get a free meal of choice on the night that I head wait, which is pretty cool.  The last couple days have been pretty cool.  Today Cale, Cj, Keri and I had lunch and visited for a while which was nice.  Tommorrow for new years we are going to Cale's parents house to visit; we have not seen them since Thanksgiving so I am very eager to see them.  I miss them and I know Cale does too.  Then we will come home so that I can go to work.  I have no idea what I'm doing after work because I don't know what time I'll be off.  Cale and I picked out a bottle of champagne for new years but we gave in and opened it now.  It is nice to relax tonight and enjoy it because I know tomorrow won't be as relaxing.  I'm glad we opened it now.
