Vegas baby....

My dear friend Debbie... for longer than I care to rememeber ...decided to vacation in Vegas for a week.....and since I am a short hour flight away I decided to fly up and join her for a day of fun!

She and I have quite a story....we met in our 20s...became best friends...we were single moms at the. I was enjoying my freedom but she on the other hand was looking for a husband...lol...so when she found a prospect she put all her effort into him...lol....and slowly we lost track of each other when I moved an hour east. She did try to find me...but in the mean time I had found Mr. Right and married and changed my name. Now there was no internet back then....so it wasnt like now when all you have to do is look on facebook to find someone...

Anyways...fast foward a few years, Mr. Right and I moved out to the middle of nowhere...where you could buy a nice house for real cheap...and I was expecting my daughter and life was good. and when I say the middle of nowhere I kinda am not kidding...lol...but Mr. Right traveled and all we needed was a nearby airport.

So anyways....we bought our new house and they were still building all around us, and there was a house next door that was still empty when we bought ours, but we heard there was a family with 4 kids moving in soon. One day I was out watering my dirt...lol...barely had a yard in yet...and up walks a man and woman to introduce themselves as our new neighbors....yup...you guessed it...it was Debbie!!!! AND her hubby Joe, which just happens to be my hubbys name too. I dont know if it was coincidence...divine appointment, or what...but it sure was crazy!!! I think I might have peed my pants when I saw her!!!! any ways....we lived next door to each other for about 15 years, and then she broke my heart by moving to MO. I remember the day they drove off...I think we were both sobbing....

Well. I got alittle side tracked there didnt I??? at any rate....I decided to fly up to Vegas for the day, we hadnt seen each other in about 3 years.

First thing we did was go out by the pool....and the sharks!!!!

and then..in typical fashion...Debbie decided we need to do something nuts! (can I tell you she was always getting me in trouble when we were neighbors...lol)

So after we signed the disclaimers....

we suited up and prepared to zip line thru downtown Vegas....

after that we REALLY needed a drink...or 2...can you see my is already empty!!!

It was a fun day....I won $27.00...and conquered my fear of heights..and sharks...and I didnt even pee my pants!!!!!!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.................
