Surprise Guest

This weekend, our friend Chad decided on a whim to come out to visit! Unfortunately, I had to work Fri-Sun so I was bummed to miss out on all the action. I was able to participate in beach day on Saturday which was great. We had 80s temps with perfectly clear skies. We got up early and went out to breakfast at the Lahaina Beach Club. After some delicious grub, we laid out on the beach for a couple hours. 

 

Saturday night, the boys went out downtown in the Gaslamp. Drew said that it got him really excited to move downtown! I am getting anxious too!! 

Apartment

I have been searching for apartments like a madwoman for the last week! We officially decided that we want to move downtown. The problem is 1. finding a studio or 1br that is in our price range 2. finding an apartment that offers 2 parking spots. It is ridiculous because most places charge between $60-125 on top of rent for each parking space or only include 1 parking space in the rent. 

We want to find something pretty quickly because we are planning on starting a new lease June 1st. It has been hard because we have opposite schedules and have been super busy! 

So, our search continues! Hopefully, we can lock something up in the next few weeks and even that is cutting it close! 

Vegas baby!

Drew and I had a fabulous time last weekend in Las Vegas! We drove out there to  meet up with my friend Megan for her brother's wedding. It was so good to see her after 9 long months!!!

Here is a rundown of our weekend:

FRIDAY
*Check in at Bally's
*Ate at "Nosh", a deli in the lobby area of Bally's
*Met up with Megan and family at the Flamingo
*Saw X Burlesque at the Flamingo which was Megan's mom's suggestion and it ended up being quite risque and questionable (haha). Good thing it was only $30.
*Went to Wild Bills for a couple margaritas
*Lost $10 in about 2 minutes of playing penny slots on my favorite machine called JACKPOT PARTY.
*Ate some yummy gelato

SATURDAY
*Went to Paris to buy a 24 hour buffet pass. Ate incredible amounts of delicious food.
*Went back to hotel and fell into an after buffet food coma for a few hours
* Hung out with Meg's family at Ballys for a while.
*Went to O'Sheas to gamble and listen to a live band that was FANTASTIC. Megan and I danced the night away.
*Drew and I left at 1am because we thought our hotel had a buffet that went until 2am...we were wrong. Ha! Our hotel didn't even have a buffet. So, we went to a bar/restaurant called Tequilas for some burgers. Bummer!

SUNDAY
*Went to Planet Hollywood buffet which was okay, nothing compared to Paris!
*Fell into another food coma for a couple of hours.
*Met up with Megan to eat a cookie sandwich which was 2 chocolate chip cookies with frosting in the middle. Delicious. Then, we said goodbye and Megan flew home.
*Drew and I went to Sbarro for pizza.
*My favorite part of the trip was going to the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris! So cool!!
*Got some crepes at Le Creperie in Paris.

MONDAY
*Got up super early and drove back home!

Our trip mostly consisted of eating and sleeping but we had so much fun! Next time, I think we'll just go for Denny's 3.99 breakfast so we don't sleep away our vacation haha.

 The #1 thing on my list for my next Vegas trip is FREMONT ST. I have heard from tons of people that it is a blast! 

Great Success

I officially survived 5 days in a row on my own as a Med Tech! I didn't kill anyone or make any life changing mistakes so I am chalking the past week up as a great success!

I already feel like I'm learning so much and that I will have an easier transition into nursing school.

4 1/2 months until school starts!!! :)
