I thought it was time to write a new blog but nothing exciting has happened lately so I brought you the news of this day in history. It is time to start counting down the trip to Vegas. Only two and a half months to go. I am way excitied because we are actually going to stay in a nice hotel this time and I have never done that in Vegas. Usually it is either the Best Western or my brother's house we end up staying at. It is going to be a blast.
