In fact, I DO remember what happened in Vegas last weekend.

So after 2 1/2 weeks back after the mission I took my first little trip. VEGAS... My NOT most favorite place in the world! It really is gross, and I'm not a huge fan, but I had a fun, SOBER weekend at the WAC basketball tournament! I went down with some Aggies to watch Utah State. I have to say that I had a few hesitations, but mainly I was just happy that they didn't literally turn their backs on me, or cast me out altogether! Honestly the student section at Utah state is rediculously intense, and sometimes rather obnoxious! I couldn't even keep up with all their cheers etc. I kept getting confused when I would hear them yell "Poooooooo" (for Poo Williams), thinking they were yelling "Booooooooooo" ha ha I am so cool.
Just chillin' with the tropical fish in Vegas...
Waiting to eat at Cheesecake factory!
I wore blue, but don't worry, I didn't wear a USU shirt. 
(Although I had a lot of offers) 
Down on the court after the game.
 I love my girl Amanda! 
Anyways, it was a fun little getaway and I met some amazing people, so in the end it was a successful trip! I have been basically cleansing my body the last few days though, trying to recover from the massive over-eating I did this weekend. I wish I had the excuse of members force feeding me, but this was definitely of my own free will this time. I guess I had the excuse of "hey, it's Vegas!!"Of course the drive down started with In N' Out, followed by the classic Cesar's palace Cheesecake Factory, Rain forest Cafe, P.F. Chang's, too many "treat stops" at gas stations, and endless snacking by the pool! I will say that I came back with a successful burn/tan! WOO!!!
The highlight of the trip (although there were many) had to be the cramming of 12 girls into 1 hotel room at the Excalibur! It "worked" (more or less) for the first two nights, but then the last night of the trip we somehow ended up without a reservation. Soooo, we all scrambled on our iPhones and Priceline.com-ed it up, to find a gem of a room at the very classy GOLDEN NUGGET hotel. Ha ha ohhh its the spontaneity of these trips that makes them so memorable! We also did all the rides at the Stratosphere which ended up being so fun! I was seriously scared out of my mind, but I decided to just do it, and I somehow made it out alive!
The closest I'll ever get to being friends with a celeb! My new BFF Jenna Jardine 
We called this little lady"Ursula." This kid would waive it around when the other team shot free throws! It was honestly disturbingly creepy!!!
