Hitched

I know I’ve been incredibly lax about updates lately, but it’s been a crazy month. I was at Florida State from January 30 until February 3, then my mother came to visit until February 8th, when I left for Atlanta. I was just outside of Atlanta from the 8th until the 11th, when I went to Dallas/Fort Worth, then San Antonio (for the TMEA convention), and then I got home on the 18th. AEJ’s brother, Peter, came to visit from the 18th until the 20, and AEJ and I left for Las Vegas for a few days away on Tuesday. We just got home yesterday. Today is my first full day at home, sans house guests, in over 3 weeks. I leave for Chicago on Sunday.

Needless to say, this entry will be brief, but not uneventful.

While in Vegas, we played penny slots (and managed to get $1 up to over $8)…

… stayed in a crazy-fancy room at the Wynn hotel — on the 56th floor…

… contemplated buying jewel-encrusted pigs…

… went to a Japanese steak house (which was not Benihana)…

… enjoyed an incredible breakfast, right in our room (room service sure is fun — and have you ever seen a croissant with so many layers?!)…

… considered hula-hooping, as this was clearly a hula-hooping zone…

… went to an incredible dinner at Picasso, where we watched the Bellagio fountain show from a private terrace right on the water…

… and I asked AEJ to marry me. She said yes.

Was looking for a "Flying Pig" but I stumbled into you two today. Wowsa, true love still exists... and I hope y'all are in total Bliss!

Hum, wonder if I could put some wings on that Jewel Encrusted Pig? And in stead of "Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds," it should have been "The Flying Pig in the Sky with Diamonds!" Ha & lol~! Best Wishes, you Love Birds! I'm off to find a Flying Pig and a Woman that can Walk on Water... tee, hee, hee~

Congrats John! You both look really sweeeet! :)

I'm curious what was the japanese meal that you had at the steak house. Doesn't look like steak to me...
