Anniversary In Vegas

Well, we're back from our one year anniversary trip to Las Vegas. It was so fun! We exchanged gifts just before we left. I suprised Allen with two tickets to The Killers concert in September(btw, The Killers is one of Allen's all time favorite bands, so needless to say, he was SUPER EXCITED). With the tickets he got a Killers t-shirt. For me, he got me a card, and a note saying that he wants to take me to pick out a necklace from Jared's to represent our one year of marriage. I loved it! Now we just have to go pick out what I want. YAY! After exchanging gifts, we left around 9:30 Friday morning, and with a couple stops in between, we made it to Vegas at 3:30. Our hotel room was nicer than we expected. We had a king and jacuzzi suite! We loved it. We had a nice dining area, as seen in the first pic. A wonderful king bed(as seen in pic 2). There was a jacuzzi tub too! My fav! And then a nice big bathroom. Take a look!

After we got settled into our room and relaxed after the long drive, we prepared to go to dinner for our anniversary. We went to the Cheesecake Factory in Caesar's Palace. ZERO waiting time...Amazing for a Friday night. :) (I must say, if you order a salad there, SHARE it. The one I ordered was ginormous! I barely made a dent in it!)

After that, the rest of the trip was wandering down the strip, in and out of hotels, casinos, and shops. Saturday, after seeing Transformers with Allen's cousin and her new hubbie(they were there for their honeymoon), we split up. Allen and I went to dinner at Planet Hollywood, then proceeded on to go to Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum in the Venetian. If you have never been there, it's a big exhibit of celebrity figures made out of wax and plastic. You get to pose with them and take pictures with them. We had a blast. Here are just a few for your viewing pleasure. :)

All in all, besides the wretched heat(ICK!), we had a blast! It was a great get-away and anniversary weekend! It was totally worth it! Here are just a few more random pics from throughout our weekend. Enjoy!

It's true what they say, "The first year is the hardest." I can totally agree with that. This year was tough, but through the whole thing, Allen and I loved each other through and through. We still do and we are stronger now than ever before. I love Allen with my whole heart and can't wait to see what this next year brings for us.

Thank you ALL for your love and support in our lives.
