Utah State Fair
BoysIIMen performed at the Utah State Fair this year.......you know I had to go and relive my youth! Then we spent the evening playing games and going on rides. The man-folk had to prove themselves by winning cheap teddy bears, and us ladies ate everything in sight.

Chicago with Merr
Merrilee and I met in Chicago for the U2 concert in September......IT WAS AMAZING. NYC has long been considered my favorite city in the nation, but Chicago is now a competitor. What was amazing about this city is the culture, arts, architecture, food, entertainment and excitement is the same as in NY, the difference is Chicago is CLEAN and the people are so kind. It is Texas pride and friendliness mixed with New York life. I cannot wait to return. Merr and I had 3 days to explore, and it was not nearly enough. Here is a sampling of our latest adventure.

THE CELEBRATION CONTINUES IN VEGAS.....WHERE WE CAN GET INTO SOME REAL TROUBLE
A day after returning from France I took off with a bunch of my girlfriends to Vegas......the antithesis of Paris. To every yin there is a yang so it is only natural that I would balance out my cultural experience with a weekend of everything EXCEPT culture. These girls made this trip amazing....one of my best Vegas experiences so far. Days at the pool, great dinners, fantastic shopping, and some of the best people I know. It doesn't get any better than this.

THIRTY AND DIRTY!!!!!!!!!
I cannot believe my 30th birthday has already come and gone....I am officially IN MY 30'S!!!!! To some this may not be frightening, but it sure is for me. This birthday was amazing, I pretty much had a 3 week celebration, which was great because it dulled the pain a little of all the new wrinkles sprouting up on my forehead, and alievated some of the embarrassment of my newly sagging bum...hehe. I rang in the new decade in Paris, the city of lights, a place I have always wanted to go. It was incredible and I am so grateful to have had this experience. There are a million pictures and it was really hard to narrow down which ones to share....but here is a small sampling of my trip.

This is the entrance to the catacombs....this was my favorite part of the trip. Partly because it was so different from anything I have seen in my life. After looking at thousand works of art and different buildings, it was fun to switch it up a bit.

This is the Thinker from the Rodin Museum, another one of my favorite excursions. Rodin is my favorite sculptor, seeing his art in this garden was amazing. It is a very small museum, but well worth the visit. My friend, Sam, bought me the book end replicas for Christmas a couple of years ago, it was great to see the sculpture in person.
