Home... Sweet... Home

Being in Vegas was AWESOME. It made us realize how much we truly miss everyone and everything. We got there on Thursday July 2nd and my mom and sister picked us up at the airport. We laid low that day. We were exhausted from the flight and being up so early. Brandon is not a fan of flying so he was a nervous wreck on the flight so needless to say we didn't get much rest on the flight. We spent time with my family and got to know our nephew, Aaron (I have so many pictures of the baby so I will post them later)


On day two we went to luch with Andrew and Damaris at CPK! We were so excited to be eating there since we have not had CPK in over 2 years! There is alot of food places we wanted to eat.



It was so nice to hang out with Damaris and Andrew. After lunch we got a chance to drive around and really just catch up. It was nice! We got to go over to their place later in the week and they made us home made pizza for dinner and brownies for dessert! They are good cooks. Thanks for dinner guys ;) Maybe we can have you guys over for dinner soon!
While we were at the Fashion Show we went and visited HotCats, of course! It was so weird being there. I have moments when I miss HotCats and when I was there I realized it's not HotCats that I miss, its the people and my life. Ahhh to be a carefree teenager again!




We spent alot of time with my family, which was pretty much the whole point for me. I feel like I have to take advantage of every minute when I am home because it will be months before I see them again.

My mom took some vacation time so we could all spend time together which was nice and also my sister was on maternity leave. We spent alot of time just hanging out doing nothing which was nice. When I go home to visit I like things to be as "normal" as possible. I know that now I am technically a visitor when I come over but I don't want it to be that way. I just want to spend time together and have it be like old times.
On one night we had dinner at the Green Valley Ranch Buffet with my whole family. It was awesome! I had forgotten just how much I LOVE buffets. We got 4 plates of crab legs. It was delicious! You can't find anthing like this in TN.


In-N-Out was one of our definite stops while we were there! Animal fries are my favorite.


We miss the Vegas food the most! We made sure we ate at every joint we do not have in TN. Our list incuded Del Taco, Panda Express, In-N-Out, Pollo Loco, Aloha Kitchen and of course anything my mom cooked!
We loved being HOME with everyone and we miss everyone!
