Jam Summer into 2 Weeks - GO!

After a whirlwind month of weddings, weekend trips, yachts, Las Vegas and machine guns, I'm finally home! I know - I lead a rough life. I have no patience to write out exactly what went down, so in my usual too-much-has-happened-and-I-don't-really-feel-like-writing fashion, here are highlights and a picture montage:

We recently saw Daniel Tosh perform live. It was freaking hilarious and I took a bunch of poor-quality photos like the one below.


My best friend got married and I was a bridesmaid in her wedding. It was loads of fun and this picture is an example of how drunk I got.

I went on a yacht tour of my hometown with friends and it was a gorgeous sunny day out. Besides a little seasickness (I am a shame to my sailor ancestors), it was a total blast. 


Afterwards we went to a brewery where we became convinced we were all gangsta. 


The very next day, Boyfriend and I jetted off to Las Vegas. This picture is an example of how drunk Boyfriend got. Lazy River at MGM, mofos!


We also started hunting for some venues for getting married next year! First we need to get engaged, but we'll keep you posted on what we decide. I've already said too much :) 

After wedding venue hunting, we let off some steam by shooting machine guns at Las Vegas Gun Range! I shot my very first gun, a fully-automatic, 9mm Uzi. 


We had such a blast and now I'm tired as hell. Next on the agenda: hip surgery. Wah :(

Watch Out Sin City...

...I'm coming back!

Boyfriend and I just booked our August trip to Las Vegas! I can't wait. This will be my fourth time to Sin City. The first time I went, my mom took me as my college graduation gift. We had a blast! I even got her to go see Common with me at the House of Blues. What a hip (hop) mom :)

The second time I went with Boyfriend, friends and my future brother and sister-in-law (I'm making assumptions here). It was a blast. I even got brain freeze, as depicted below.


Actually those tall drinks are disgusting. I can't handle the amount of corn syrup in the mix.


Boyfriend enjoyed his first Urban Outfitters experience in Mandalay Bay.

And we had the most delicious dinner at a hidden gem off the strip called Musashi! You HAVE to go there next time your in Vegas. By far, the best teppanyaki I've ever had.

The third time I went to Vegas was for work. Aside from work paying for everything, I don't recommend ever going to Vegas for that. It totally ruined it. I had a hard time focusing on what I was supposed to be doing when the pool was calling my name so loudly. I'd rather enjoy Vegas without the ball and chain that work tends to be.

This trip is sure to be a blast. Boyfriend and I haven't really gone on a trip by ourselves, and this vacation comes at the end of a very busy month for us. This will be a well-deserved week of living it up!
