Day 4 in vegas, the night before I leave

What a day! We woke up on time, well it was actually early. This morning when we were at starbucks getting ready to order his drinks a lady from England dropped her drink on the floor and spilled it everywhere. I didn't laugh but I really wanted to. I felt bad but at the same time it was hilarious.

Today at the show was dead. I went to a couple different booths and visited people. I ended up at one booth and played snake ball with a guy. He was the inventor of the game and my grandpa bought one of the original ones from Yuma AZ. So it was pretty cool to play with the owners of this game. I beat one but lost to another. They have this rule that if you bounce the ball of the ground and it wraps around a pole you get 5 points. It was pretty cool. I also got to meet with some people from one of our factories. It was really nice getting to know them. Paul Yang and Rita Chein.



Also today we went to this party bar place and had a blast. Bobby, Lances brother in law came down to visit and ride with Lance through California and up to Washington. We had a pretty good time then after that Lance and I walked around in the Venician and had a small dinner there. We then decided that we would walk to the stratosphere. Bad idea, I was in sandals and it was about 3 miles away but only looked about 1. We ended up not making it and had to make a mild emergency "bathroom" stop at the Riviera.

Then we walked back and stopped in at the Frontier, I think that was the name, and had a beer and just chatted a little about work then headed back to see how bobby was doing. One of my highlights today was just getting to relax and laugh. I am really excited to come home because I'm tired of Vegas. Its a nice place to come to a visit for a weekend but not a week. I'm not a fan of a lot of the stuff that is going on here. I think at times I am a little to serious about things. I have noticed that over the past few years my goofy side has slowly gone away. I like to be crazy and have a good time but I'm growing up and become business oriented, I think. I am not sure what it is but I know that many things are important to me to I get focused on my job and my other responsibilities in life that I really don't make time for myself. I'm going to be 27 this year and I am not dating anyone no in a serious relationship and I think it is because I am so focused on my life activities that I don't stop to smell the roses. How do you change who you are, is there something wrong with the way my life is? I don't know. I live for Christ and that is what is important but also as a human I want to have a family and kids. Most of all my friends are married and have children or are expecting. I think I am jealous because I want it to be my turn but also understand it is not in my control and have to wait for Gods timing. I just wish there was something I could do to help speed that up. If it was only that easy and brought to my attention I would do it. I will be patient for it and try not to focus on it.


Weird how you get on a subject like that at Vegas. Tonight I found myself wanting to play poker really bad after watching bobby so I went up stairs and got on my laptop and played online poker for free in my room. Remind you that I am staying in a casino and am playing poker in my room. Funny? I think so.

Blessings.......

Hey Carl buddy - I stayed at the Riviara (forgot how to spell it) when I was in Vegas... the place you made your bathroom stop. It was an icky hotel. I hated Vegas too and told John he is NEVER allowed to go there. :-) Glad you are home now!
