What Happens in Vegas, Definitely Doesn't Stay There!





So I got some great shots in Vegas.








Here are some of my favs...



The glass floral ceiling in the Belaggio Resort.




Amazing.






3 nights... 9 pair of shoes.

Is this a problem??






Me and Elvis.
(I'm fairly sure the other one is an impostor).













The slowest people in the history of the universe!!!










Now, this just speaks for itself.

But quite humorous.












Couldn't get him out on the town! I think it was a Divine Conspiracy.



OH! Thank you! I'll be here all week.




Oh... no I didn't!!!










Actually, yes I did.














Just peeking through some plants in the lobby...







...at that man dressed like a woman. Don't see that very much in my bubble.











A dude taping (and pointing) for an episode of CSI, Las Vegas.







And last, but not least, my summary of Vegas in a photo...

Wealth and Poverty.



What an incredible city. Incredibly bright. Incredibly loud. Incredibly versatile. Incredibly wild. Incredibly sad. (From my perspective anyway).


We were grateful for the trip (thanks Regions!) but SOOOOO ready to come home.

Aaahhhh....Home sweet home!



And just so ya know... after all of our gambling, shopping, tattooing, and eating (all courtesy of the bank, of course) we came home $22 in the plus.

So basically... Matt's job paid us $22 to go to Vegas.

Not a bad deal if you ask me.

Here's some more pictures...

Enjoy!

















Peace, Love, and all that Jazz....

Great pictures! The picture of the guy from CSI looks like Brass (the character from the show). I love the Bellagio picture. You look fabulous in that strapless top. Congrats on the tatoo. And for the record, 9 pairs of shoes is not too many to take ANYWHERE.

I wonder if the Presbytery will send Quinn to an all-expense paid trip to Vegas. We should ask.

I love your pictures and captions!

Missy said...

Good grief you look hot Abbey!
What a fun time...you and Kim are the new picture Queens. I aspire to be like you both.
Is that a REAL tattoo?

Abbey said...

Thanks girls! I will push those compliments straight on to my head!
Kim~ I SO hope that they would!! ;)
Missy~ believe me, it's the camera, not me!! And yes, it's real. It's my 2nd. I should probably stop there... It doesn't fit in well with my lifestyle!!

So, I stubbled onto you via LMP. After reading like your last 7 posts... must say, love your writting. And poems too... how cool. I haven't posted any of mine yet. Love getting a witness that poetry isn't just for grey haired ladies and Hallmark. I get a tad embarrassed to say..."Yeeeeah, I write... (gulp) poetry."

It's good stuff. Keep it up!

Whew... what I wouldn't do to have a cool person like you to hang with at church! Hmmm... on second thought maybe it's better that there's not. We'd get into too much trouble I think. Yeah... guess that's probably why. Ah, well... here's to being the wildly inappropriate sister-in-Him to the church ladies at Bible study.

You make for a great read! :)

Love to all, peace!

I'm really jealous of that dang camera! My favorite picture is from the last post of the tire swing - you go girl

Molly said...

Love the pics and I must agree with your other friends and say you look HOT girl!

Daphne said...

You look GREAT!! Well you are a good lookin couple. Glad you had a great time. LOVE the pics.

Maybe Regions will send you to Guatemala:) (but we want the boys to come too)

Hey Abbey who's that dude you were with? Vegas can do that to you! Tell Matt I love him and that it looks like someone walked all over his grave. We really miss you guys.
