Vegas Baby

This year Boricua and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary Vegas style. It was officially the first time we've gone out of town and spent longer than a day without kids! Pretty wild. It was pretty fabulous. We had the best time! Boricua lost his Vegas virginity and I'd say he lost it pretty well! He loved it. I know he did. It was really nice to focus on just us for 2 days.

Our Anniversary in on February 12Th. So every year, it's our Valentines Day. We left that Friday late afternoon and returned Sunday night. It was short yet super sweet. We had a suite up in the Rio Hotel. Our view sucked but the room was nice. What's cool about that hotel is every room has an entire wall of floor to ceiling windows. I was bummed our view was the roof top of their lower level...woo.

We met up with my dearest friend, whom I haven't seen in a long time. He used to dance with me at my mom's studio. I also got to meet his amazing friend and I love him to death. I was in bliss being surrounded by men that I love so much! He got us into TAO through his famous waiter friend (who was recently on Keeping Up With The Kardashians). He was a super cute guy too! Tao was amazing. The food is incredible. The Nightclub was fun but way too packed....it was The Chinese New Year AND Valentines Day Weekend...Vegas was totally packed. We ended up leaving around midnight and we sat at the Venetian talking and being the 'fashion police' until 3 in the morning!...Some chicks needs fashion advice form yours truly ;)!

The Next day we met back up with my friends and we have a lovely brunch and ate the most amazing omelets you could ever have. Then we ended up at a Walmart exchanging 6 dollar batteries and walking around the entire store looking for Rockstar drinks! hahahaa...it was funny. My friends showed us around town and that's when we bid farewell. It was such a fun weekend. I'm sure Boricua and I will keep this as a highlight of the many more anniversaries to come!

Our Anniversary!

It was cold, windy but the sun was out. We were well rested and excited! I was 8 months pregnant(and I hate every single one of my wedding photos. I look like a beached whale). Our ceremony was at 10:00 am. We held it in our ward chapel. It was a very small wedding. The ladies in Relief Society planned it for me and helped out. About 30-40 people attended. It wasn't fancy or formal. It was very quaint and simple. We had a pianist play. We walked down the aisle together. I had no family there. Boricua's little brother was the only one there on his side. The ceremony was very simple and lasted 10 minutes. We had a very small reception afterwards. The tables were decorated very cute and we had conversation hearts wrapped in twill for the favors. There was red roses and pink carnations. All were arrange in a very cute flower tin with a big purple ribbon. Each table had framed photos of David and me. There was purple fabric squares over white table cloths on each table. We had pink and purple plates and cups. Our cake was just a sheet shake with pink and purple flowers. We served fresh fruit with a raspberry sherbet fizz drink. It was very simple and sweet. There was absolutely ZERO stresses, zero worries and zero anxiety! We merely focused on our union and happiness! Afterwards, we had a romantic dinner at Tragara, in Bethesda, MD. We had a hotel suite set up for us in Germantown, MD. Even though I was big and pregnant, it was still wonderful. When I look back, I wouldn't have wanted my little wedding any other way! It was perfect. I'm glad I decided to do somethng very small instead of spend thousands of dollars and hours of stress to put together a big wedding. And the best part of it was; we were sealed together April 6, 2006. 14 months later. It was wonderful.

Married on this day, 3 years ago. It hasn't been very long but it feels like it's been forever! Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Those water looking spots on our invitation is from the wrong glue I used to glue in our wedding book. Oops.
