Writers Block

I have it. Especially when it comes to blogging. I read other people's blogs, and I think, "Hey! That's a great blog. I am now inspired to go blog! La la la, here I go to blog!" And BAM! I get here, and I got nothin'. I hate this. I don't haven anything witty to say, nor anything profound. All I do is write about how I can't write. This is so lame.

WOW a lot has happened!

So let's see if I can remember what all has happened recently!

First off, Michael reproposed to me, and gave me my official engagement ring! It's SOOO beautiful! The center stone is a blue topaz, and it has 10 diamonds on it! I'll have to post a pic of it on here soon!

The way he did it was SOO sweet! He got our entire wedding party together as a suprise, and we had a cook out, we danced to one of my favorite Jewel songs, and then he proposed! It was so awesome! My ring...wow, I just can't get over how beautiful it is! And it's HUGE!! After he proposed, he sang a song that he wrote me. It was so sweet and amazing! What a great way to celebrate our 2 year anniversary!

Next on the agenda, I just got back from Las Vegas early Wednesday morning. I went there with the MTSU Dairy Products Judging Team to compete in the National Contest. And we totally won! We took home more awards than any other school that was there! It was so awesome! I was only an alternate, and my scores didn't count, but it was exciting nonetheless!

Experiencing Vegas was kind of a different story. I don't really get into the whole going out and partying thing, so I was out of my element. But its ok. We got to see the Hoover Dam, which was crazy big! I also won $51 on the nickel slots! Lol, I'm pretty sure I won more than I spent in terms of gambling. To me, slots just start to get boring after a while, and I didn't find them the least bit addictive. But I'm ok with that. I also got to see some of the really neat casinos. We stayed at the Sahara, which wasn't all that great, but it beat some of the sketchy motels!

And Vegas smelled bad. It was a combo of cigarette smoke, booze, old people, and bathrooms. Gross. But the mountains were gorgeous! And I had a decent view out of my hotel room. When I finally got back to Tennessee the air here actually smelled sweet to me. It was so nice to get away from all of the smoke. My lungs couldn't have taken much more, and I was starting to wheeze pretty good when I got back. But I'm slowly getting better now. Only thing left to straighten out is getting this jet lag thing worked out.

Oh, we left for Vegas on Saturday, the 13th, which also happened to be my 23rd birthday. I'm old, I know. I guess it sounds cool having your birthday in Vegas, but it really wasn't all that great. I would have much rather been home with friends and family, but I'm very thankful that I had this experience and opportunity! But I'm not sure if I'll ever willingly go back to Vegas again. It's a very sad city.

Oh, and the prostitution there is crazy! They have those newspaper bins that are FULL of booklets with naked women on them with their lady-bits censored, and the phone numbers to call "for a good time." There would also be guys on the street corners with business card sized ads with the nude/censored women on them, and they'd flick the cards at you. Like I really want a hooker. Honestly guys. A little common sense!

I was sorely disappointed, though, because for my birthday, I wanted my picture taken with as many Elvis impersonators as I could find....yeah, didn't see a single one. So on the way to the Hoover Dam, I decided that I wanted my picture taken with a real tumbleweed. No such luck. We passed them on the side of the road, but there weren't any at the Dam. But it happens.

Goodness I'm glad to be home. Now I gotta get the smell of Vegas out of all of my clothes. Ew.

So there's the fun in a nutshell!
