Vegas has become mine and Tommy's "it" spot. It is our place to get away from our kids and family and work and the house and all things....... AZ.
This trip was special. We went with about 25 friends and had actual plans. The only people, besides Tommy, that really mattered for me was Susan and Traci. Susan and I got together last week for a quickie little catch up, and planned this mini-vacay together. I had not seen Traci since my Junior year in high school so we knew it was going to be a reunion to remember!!
We had the time of our life. The laughter was non-stop. The 5 AM room service was to die for (seeing as that we had just crawled into our rooms, because our feet hurt so bad from our boots we were wearing) from a night of dancing and laughing on top of the PALMS casino. There were a couple times that liquid spilled out our noses from the non-stop laughter.
We simply had a blast re-hashing life and learning all about each other again. Tommy got to find out even more things about his wife that I guess I "forgot" to tell him about and he finally realized why Susan and I were inseperable all throughout school.
Vegas also brings out other feelings for Tommy and I. It happens at the most random times. This time is was 0600 hours on Saturday when we had just crawled into bed. We realized how amazing being married to each other really is. We watched some friends have a hideous fight at dinner. Then we watched singles who are just dating try to laugh it all off. Then there was the one going through a divorce. It was all really sad. Realizations that what we have is not perfect for some, but is perfect for us, hit home. For us, Vegas just gives us a breather from the life that we work so hard to have and we love more than anything.
We are still recovering from our lack of sleep. I think we got enough fresh air on top of the Palms Casino. We surely did not have enough water.... but when in Vegas...........well.... if you don't know the rest....
