Vegas and Death Valley and Michigan

So last week, I went up to Michigan. I started out with a lunch date with Cassandra. I love that girl to pieces. No matter what we talk about, it's always good times. Plus even when we don't agree on each other's views 100% of the time, we're always respectful of the other's opinion. That's a quality that very few have and I'm blessed to have her in my life. Plus, no matter what, we listen to each other and it's awesome!

Then I went out to Vegas and Death Valley with my parents and Melissa. It was lots of fun even though I didn't really win anything :P Melissa and I saw the show "O" and it was amazing! I've never seen anything quite like it!

Once I got back to Michigan, I got a haircut and spent an afternoon with Nana Adams. We talked about just about everything. It's nice being able to spend time with her :)

Then I was able to squeeze in a lunch date with Mindy! I hope you're feeling better girl! I love ya!

That evening after school, Melissa and I took Owen to Build-a-Bear. Owen and I made Kermit the frogs and Melissa made a puppy. I think Owen enjoyed having his own time with Melissa and me.

On Saturday, it was a family fun day. We went bowling. I did pretty well. My assigned average is 100 pins and I hit it all 3 games-- 119, 101, 129. Melissa also kicked butt her last game with a 139!

Melissa and I went to the Black Keys concert that night as well and it was lots of fun! They really rocked it out and made me crave going to more concerts!

Then I got back to work yesterday and started working on a huge mound of work!

Here's a few photos from the trip:
