Happy 39th

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, Todd. I can't believe how lucky I am to have ended up with him.

He's my best friend. I still love to just hang out with him. I can never get enough of his time. I love that he and I still enjoy talking to each other. He's a terrific friend.

He's a great husband. He spoils me. He takes me out on dates. He holds my hand. He's always willing to help me or doing anything I ask of him. He's make me feel like I'm worth a million....and that I am His priority. I love that.

He's a wonderful father. He enjoys spending time with his kids....whether it's going out to the movies together, making them their favorite dish - top ramen with egg, or swimming in the pool together, etc. The children love him and look up to him. They like to spend time with Todd...so I think that says a lot about him.

Todd has always been intrigued with magic. He has even learned some of his own tricks. He likes the show, Mindfreak, with Criss Angel. So, for his bday, Todd and I headed up to Las Vegas to see Criss' show "Believe" at the Luxor.

We enjoyed the show overall... although we thought it needed a bit more magic and a little bit less "acrobatics & dancing" from the Cirque du Soleil group.

We did A LOT of walking...and, I mean, A LOT!!! We went to the majority of the hotels there to see what they had inside. Of course, one has to walk a half mile through the casinos inside to even get to the attraction. Todd started to get blisters in between his toes from his sandals the first day. I teased him cause I was feeling great and loving all the walking. Boy, did I stick my foot in my mouth. The second day my shins were killing me. I don't think I've had shin splints since high school. I guess I deserved it for teasing Todd the previous day.

We checked out the cool aquarium in Mandalay Bay.

We enjoyed all the night lights on the strip. We watched the water show in front of the Bellagio.

We saw the lions at the MGM hotel.

We also checked out the adventure dome at Circus Circus and played a couple of carnival games. Oh, and Todd found a new season of Mindfreak TV episodes to buy....I told him that counted as a bday gift...along with some new motorcycle boots that he needs. Todd's a little (A LOT) hard to buy for so I take what I can get:). We enjoyed a yummy dinner at Caesar's Palace at the Mesa Grill. I'm probably forgetting some, but we had a great time.....walking....and walking. I'd hope that maybe I lost a pound or two, but I am sure that I ate enough to keep it on. Thanks to my sweet little sis for staying at my house with the kids while we enjoyed Las Vegas. Happy Birthday to my #1 man in my life!
