Raining in the Desert?

So the past couple of weeks have been so fun! A couple of Friday's ago we went and promoted a new company to high school students during a Basketball half-time. It is called 979-text! The Bells agreed to come along and help us out!

Look at Josh just loving his few moments of fame on the mike... and his vanna white's assisting him!

BABY RYAN!
After the game, the Harris's met us back at our house for a night full of Ryan, games, and about five bowls of caramel popcorn! We had such a good time. We all stayed up til like 2 playing games (Cranium, 9's, etc.) Us girls learned that Datahead is not our cup of tea. We are seriously the LUCKIEST people to have such great friends! We could not ask for better friends! We love you guys!

So this past weekend, Josh and I went to see the Elton John concert at Ceasars Palace. The only down fall to our trip was that it was like 33 degrees and rained, like seriously poured, the whole time except for like 2 hours! We thought that it was pretty hilarious since Josh had only packed shorts... we were expecting sunshine! All for the memories!

(The picture above was taken during the two hours it wasn't raining!)

PS. Cole thanks for taking us to the airport so early in the morning!

"Just the two of us"

This picture is rather hilarious because we wanted a picture of us two next to the Elton John Red Piano poster and the lady completely left out the main point! ha ha, gotta love the bystanders pictures!

Circus Circus!

This is what you do when you don't gamble in Vegas!

I seriously LOVED this palm tree! It blew my mind.

Ran into an old friend while we were there,Ole' Nicky Cage

We HAD to eat at our favorite place... The notorious Cheeseburger in Paradise!

Arnie'

You might be wondering who Arnie is?? Well if you do not have the pleasure of knowing her, let me have the honors. Arnie, short for Arnecia (Ar-knee-sha), who is the cutest fish to ever grace this planet. This might sound kind of odd, as I am speaking of a fish, but Josh and I have grown a large fascination/obsession for our Arnie. We feel bad leaving her in her "shadow box" everyday, so we put her on the table or the countertop so she can enjoy new surroundings and sit with us while we do our homework. She is so interactive and will literally watch you and follow your finger if you put it on her glass bowl.

She always gets the best babysitter when we are out of town... AMY and enjoys two meals a day.

This is our ode to Arnie!

WE LOVE YOU ARNIE

Babababa Benny and the Jets...

This weekend we are headed off to the Viva Las Vegas to see Elton John, The Red Piano, in concert... courtesy of me and some other very special people! Josh got a special surprise present for his birthday in December, to see his "other lover" in concert. He has always wanted to see him in person singing "Yellowbrick Road" or "Benny and the Jets." Yay! We are going to try and fly on buddy passes (STANDBY) which is always a risk, but we are up for the challenge. I will report back to base with some great pictures of josh in his elated state of euphoria!

Can I just say that I love this time of year. I have always loved valentines, not just for the flowers, chocolates, kisses, cookies,valentines cards, balloons, hugs, hearts, or candy, but for the feeling in the air. I think that it is such a LOVELY holiday! I am currently working at the Odyssey House in the Children's services area. I work with kids and we get to do lots of art projects, just like I did 15 years ago. It brings back all of the fun memories of the excitement of making a big red hart and having the teacher hang it up on the wall for everyone to see. Or staying up til 12 AM getting my valentines just perfect so I could take it to school the next day and pass out Valentines! I also love the smell of a freshly opened bag of candy hearts! There is nothin better, especially the purple ones.
