Happy 8th Wedding Anniversary!

Jeromy and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary on Friday, April 9th.  My mom came over to our house around 12:30 to watch the girls.  My dad came even though he just had sinus surgery on Monday.  I had everything organized, labeled and planned out to a T for my mom (watch out Kate Gosslin your not the only mom with post its).  But you can never plan for the unexpected- Lily came down with pink eye that morning.  So, we got all the kids in the van and my parents took them all to the doctor.  Luckily I got Lily an appt. at 2:00.  With all the extra commotion Jeromy and I were still able to get out the door by 1:15.  We went shopping for new clothes (we both are thinner now then when we got married-(weird huh?)  We are finally on the same page fitness wise.  We then saw the movie "Date Night."  It was really funny.  Jeromy and I both are Steve Carell fans.  Then we checked into our Hotel in the Power and Light area.  We stayed at the "Alladin."  It is a really old hotel that has a modern decor with new upgrades.  Our only complaint is that they charge you to park your car.  When Jeromy expressed that this was crazy their apology was to give us complimentary glasses of champagne.  We used the ice bucket to keep Lucy's breast milk cold(I said to Jeromy, "Not exactly how you pictured this huh?")  Hey, I will do anything for my little LuLu.

We ate dinner at Ameristar for the all you can eat crab legs.  It was soo good!  I quickly discovered that Jeromy is a professional crab leg cracker and I am not.  I JUST WANT MY CRAB, I don't want to do the work.  After dinner we headed  over to the Plaza where we met up with Gary Jr. and some of his friends.  We had drinks at Kona.  We walked in and I said to Jeromy, "I feel old."  and he said, "I feel fat."  Despite our feelings we ordered $12 drinks and found out from Gary Jr. that we were ordering from the wrong menu- he then hooked us up with $3 drinks- (We are such amateurs).  I had my first "Sake" shot which is hot tea and beer.  It sounds gross but they were surprisinly good.  At midnight the regulars order sushi.  Jeromy was like, "What, no."  But I loved it and shared some spicy tuna rolls with Gary Jr.  I told Jeromy where we come from Pizza Shuttle is our midnight snack.  He said, "I will take a twofer over tuna rolls any day.

After sleeping in and enjoying my shower with 2 shower heads we took a gamble and ate brunch at Harrah's.  Their service and buffet did not impress us to say the least but hey it was our "last supper" before returning home to the kids.  We had a wonderful time and are very grateful to my parents for all their help. 

Jeromy, I love your sense of direction, your planning skills, your sense of humor and your shopping skills.  But most importanly I love you!  Happy Anniversary!  Can't wait to see what you plan next year.
