Holiday Recap

Hi Everyone! So here's the recap of an eventful 2 months:

I started a new job at the beginning of November at Summit Surgery and Recovery Center. They are a bone and joint surgery center. They do a lot of same day surgeries but they also do some over nighters. I work in the evening shift in the recovery care center. I really love working there! I feel so appreciated by the administrators, my coworkers, and patients. I even received a bouquet of flowers welcoming me to the team my 2nd day of work!

We went to Disneyland with Mom and Dad Boone in the beginning of November as well. It was a lot of fun! We met up with my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins for dinner. It was great seeing them. They also helped us get great spots for the fireworks and Fantasmic. We got some great video but I didn't upload them here.

Paper Anniversary

In January we decided as a part of our paper anniversary we would make a photo book of our first year of marriage. Then we though how cool would it be to make a photo book of every year of our marriage! Every year we will make one of these books. The book for last year turned out great! I'm a little sad, after both Trevor and I bother proof-read it there were still a couple of mistakes that we didn't catch before we purchased a printed copy. I have since correct the errors. For this album we used shutterfly.com. Next year's album we're going to try blurb.com. The prices are comparable so we want to see how the quality differs. We'll let you know what we think.

Waking Up in Vegas

Our first anniversary was January 3rd. We decided to spend it in Vegas! We've never been to Vegas together. We were going to go when we were in college but after reviewing the cost of a trip to Vegas, we decided we couldn't afford it. Now 3 years later, we can! Yay! It helps that Vegas is having awesome deals too!

They are building a bridge over the Hoover Dam for drivers to take if they want to by pass the Hoover Dam. When we drove over the dam it reminded me of the movie Cars and once the expressway was built the little town lost all it's tourism. Granted this is different because it's a structure and not a city, but still. Now as an adult, I have greater appreciation for it.

We stayed a Bally's and got a room with a view of the Bellagio fountain and Eiffel Tower.

We did splurge on tickets to the Cirque du Soleil Beatles Love Show. Which is amazing and worth every penny! After the show we wanted to watch it again! We definitely want to go back to watch it again and Zumanity and Ka (can't go wrong with Cirque du Soleil).


We visited our favorite restaurant, Sammy's. This is where we celebrated our 5 month anniversary 5 years ago in December! Of course that was when it was in Tempe.


We went on a gondola ride at the Venetian. It was awesome! Our gondolier, Christiano, sang use 2 songs in Italian! He was born in Italy. He lived there for 8yrs before moving to Germany and then eventually the states. It was so romantic! We really enjoyed it!


We went on the Price is Right Live in our hotel. It we fun! We didn't win anything but it was enjoyable to watch the people who did get to go up and play.


We mostly spent our time walking around, enjoying the sites. We gambled a whooping $2! Woah big spenders! haha! We just weren't interested in gambling.


CES and Adult Entertainment both held their expos during the time we were there. It was certainly an interesting mix of people!
