a 30th. celebrated.

within the last few years one thing has be come apparent to me.
life is short but sweet for certain.

in thinking about my husband's 30th i knew i wanted to celebrate.
more importantly celebrate him, his life & everything he loves.
which are, in no order: me, family, friends, gambling, captain & sprite.
so, i planned a surprise 4-day trip for his birthday.

on the day of our departure, we arrived at the airport.
he still had no idea where we were headed {except that it might be warm}!
i led him aimlessly around the airport, before letting him know
that we were headed for vegas! as we walked to our gate, each with a huge grin on our face,
his childhood friend & girlfriend appeared & told him they were coming too!
we made it to the hotel {caesars!} in vegas & proceeded to live it up.
later that night, after several drinks, another surprise came:
his whole family appeared from behind him at the roulette table.
and that wasn't all. four more of our friends {old & new} followed hours later.
all in all, 16 people flew to vegas to celebrate his birthday.

the girls spent time by the pool and the guys at the sports book.
we went to a club {vip!} & a delicious steak dinner.
but mainly enjoyed each others company.
even if it was around an electronic roulette table.

it was a short trip, but sweet for certain. time {& money} well spent celebrating someone special. i love you chris.
