Nicki & Britney ...
Last Friday, my friend Alyssa texted me to see if I wanted to go to Nicki Minaj and Britney Spears concert with her on Saturday, and duh I didn't have to think about that. Eight row and free ... yes please. We had such a fun time. Nicki was so good, and it seems like her booty is even bigger in person. On the other had Britney was so-so. She lipped singed, but that was expected, but she kust posed throughout and shacked back and forth. Her dancers were amazing so we really watched them throughout the concert. Us girls made it a good night even tho Britney didn't give it her all.

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. DeLillo ...
Our good friends Mike and Kristine got married last Saturday in an intimate wedding up at Red Rock Canyon in the early morning. I was lucky that I was able to spend the morning with Kristine, since I was doing her hair. She looked so beautiful.
I knew she was getting a hotel suite and the MGM since Justin was the one who got her a killer deal. I had him put my name on the room as well, so Alyssa and I could check in early and surprise them by paying for the room and decorating the room all honeymoonish.
We met up with them later that night to Celebrate. We had a table at Centrifuge and then later on we transfered to a table at Studio 54. We all had so much fun laughing and dancing the night away.
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. DeLillo !

Championship Rings ...
Our boys got their rings yesterday !
Here's how the team describes them ...
The ring’s square crest is highlighted by the ‘G’ logo – gold on a green setting, of course – but the overwhelming sparkle of the diamond-dominant presentation shouldn’t distract from all it incorporates.
In each of the four corners of the crest, surrounding the ‘G,’ is a marquis-cut diamond, which is appropriately football-shaped, just like the one on top of the Vince Lombardi trophy. There are four of those for I, II, XXXI and XLV, the four trophies that will reside together forever in the team’s Hall of Fame.
The shape of the ‘G’ itself consists of 13 diamonds, one for each title dating back to 1929, and surrounding the entire crown are 92 diamonds, one for each year the Packers have been in existence.
That’s a lot cleverly depicted on the ring’s face, but that’s not the whole story. The sides, or flanks, of the ring continue the convergence of history with the present.
On the one side that’s personalized for each player with his last name, there’s both an impressively carved image of Lambeau Field – a tribute to the best venue and fans in the NFL – and the player’s jersey number. Each number is circled, just like those on the third jerseys introduced this past year that represent the attire of the first title team in ’29.
On the other side, underneath a logo-lettering of “PACKERS,” is a Lombardi Trophy, with the name of the iconic coach, the NFL shield, and an ‘XLV’ at the base, which captures both the specific game and a piece of its logo.
Together, the primary images on the two flanks can be interpreted as the Lombardi Trophy being brought back to its home, Lambeau Field, which was done two days after the Super Bowl victory in North Texas in front of more than 56,000 fans who braved sub-zero weather to share in the glory.

CC Shooting Park ...
Today Justin and I met up with Natalie, Clarence, Pablo, Zury, and Corey (minus Alyssa) at the Clark County Shooting Park. It seemed we had a small military armory with all of us. Between handguns and rifles we almost had every brand you could think of plus duplicates. We had such a good time until high noon and then it was just too damn hot!
I shot the AR for the very first time and I like to think I did a retty good job ...
But compared to the more seasoned shooter, not so much ...

RIP Stacy ...
My parents had to make the hard decision to put our family dog, Stacy down. She was 16 years old, going deaf, blind, no control of her bladder, and her back legs would go out once in awhile and she would face plant on the ground. It just was that time.
We drove to the vet with my parents and sister. Kimy really wanted to be in the room, but she just wanted to remember Stacy as she was alive. This was my first time ever being in the room, since in the past I have been too little. My mom and I held Stacy in our arms as she entered heaven. I'm glad I was able to be there with my mom, but it defiantly was one of the hardest things I have ever done.

Staycation ...
This past week we decided to make it a three day weekend and stay on the strip with another couple we are good friends with. We acted like tourists walking up and down the strip with our drinks, and stayed out all day at the pool. It was a really nice getaway from our reality.
