Jake surprised me for our Anniversary/my birthday with a trip to Vegas. He had arranged for my kids to go to my mom and dads. This was a much needed vacation and it meant so much to me that he would think to do that and go through all the effort of makin it happen. Deanna that works for Jakes company has become good friends with some of Avril Lavignes band member so she got us the hook ups. I was so excited to go see Avril in concert. I have seen her 2 other times but this time I was told we would get to meet her. That didnt end up happening and I was way bummed but its all good.. She opened for backstreet boys so we were able to watch them also and they were great. It was so fun just to be with jake and just enjoy each other and not have to worry about takin care of the kids. This month has been a crazy/life changing one. We have gone through some tough times.. one that we will never forget but I wouldnt change a thing because we both are so much happier and so much more in love and appreciate each other. As fun as vegas is I was so ready to be home just the 2 nights we were there. It always make me so greatful for life because you see some crazy wacked out people there and that life style is just not for me.. although i do love watching drunk people:)  I will always remember this trip and how much it meant to me. As fun as it is to get away from the kids its always fun to get back to them and love on them. So greatful for great parents who are always so good to take the kids for us. We are very blessed.
