Oh Pretty Baby

What do you get when you combine Jersey Boys and Sugar Factory? A really fun Saturday night! 

Last weekend boyfriend and I got invited to see the Jersey Boys show that is now at the Paris hotel. While we were waiting for the show I decided to become one of the cast members:

I have been wanting to see this show for YEARS after hearing rave reviews from everyone and their mom. It definitely did not disappoint. I didn't realize how many songs I actually knew from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. 

"I love you baby / And if it's quite all right / I need you baby / To warm my lonely nights / I love you baby / Trust in me when I say / Oh, pretty baby"

The best part? We didn't even have to pay a dime. Gotta love that Vegas hookup (thanks Kara!)

Our next stop was dinner at Sugar Factory, a restaurant underneath the Eiffel Tower overlooking the Bellagio water show. The sad part is we are all so immune to Vegas that I didn't take any pictures, instead we sat and critiqued shows and clubs we are used to getting into for free. At one point we all stopped and laughed about the conversation we were having. People save up money for months to come to Vegas and there we were critiquing it.  

We did have a hilarious waiter though who was a little to eager to tell us about his 12 inch pizza and how he could handle the whole thing himself. He then later came back to tell us about a french fry looking like Nixon. 

The most hilarious part of dinner was when boyfriend was telling a story and using hand animations only to hit his fist on the table and send an entire plate of parmesan cheese snowing down on him. I was laughing too hard to take a picture but let's just say a black shirt and parmesan cheese don't mix very well. 

The number 12 became the joke of the night.

I had so much fun spending a Saturday night with these awesome people.

Summer Lovin'

Bring back the warm weather, I miss summer SO much! 

We Don't Even Have To Try, It's Always A Good Time

The benefits of living in Vegas can be pretty freakin' awesome! Take this weekend for example. I got invited to the opening night and cast party of the newest show in town, Rock Of Ages. 

Oh haiii new friends Danielle and Jenny! Thanks for a really fun night, you girls rock :-)

Here was the stage set up:

I even was a bad girl and snuck a picture during the show:

The show was SO good and filled with a TON of talented people. Go see it...NOW! ;-)

The after party was really fun too (boyfriend even got to make a sneak appearance)

Yay for fun weekend adventures with new friends!

Tradition

Every year after Christmas my mom and I make our own Christmas ornaments to add to the tree the upcoming year. I don't even know how or why this tradition started but they are so much fun to make! 

This year we made a few based on fun adventures in 2012:

Laying out and tanning every possible day this summer
Visiting Disneyland
Tiffany's Blue Box
Annual "year" ornament
Dad's "doghouse"
Christmas Tree
Candycane

December Wrap Up

December was such a FUN month. Here's some of the highlights:

Boyfriend and I kicked off the month by making gingerbread houses.

Followed by some fudge.

I put in some extra hours at work on a Saturday but also got to decorate my desk.

I was a guest speaker for career day in one of my favorite college professor's classes.

A lot of hot chocolate was consumed.

Boyfriend and I helped a 9 year old believe in Santa again.

I bought jeans in a SMALLER size! (Despite all the fudge, cookies, junk)

Celebrated 12-12-12 with some old friends at a fun tweet up. 

Painted at Wine and Canvas. 

Cuddled up with my sweet man.

Celebrated our one year anniversary ice skating.

Went to the Magical Forest and Cactus Gardens.

Took boyfriend to Disneyland (his first time). 

Celebrated Christmas Eve with the fam. 

Fed the homeless on Christmas morning.

Celebrated with friends at an in-between Christmas and NYE party. 

And finally checked off another bucket list item by visiting IKEA for the first time.

It has definitely been a month to remember! :-)

Happy New Year!

I have been terrible at blogging lately. But it's a new year and time for a new start. 

My Adventures haven't gotten any less exciting, just more time consuming.

Here's to 2013 and more blogging!

We rang in the New Year in style...and ugly hats ;-) But don't let this picture fool you into thinking we are some crazy party animals, we were still in bed by 11pm. At least we rang in the East Coast New Year, right? ;)
