Well, it happened! I hit the half century mark! And you know what? I didn't feel a thing! I actually hit it in September, but I didn't "fully" celebrate until my good friend, Merilynn, surprised me with a ticket to Las Vegas for the week of Thanksgiving! IT WAS A BLAST! Merilynn, if you read this ... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this most wonderful gift of FUN and FRIENDSHIP! She spoiled me rotten, as you will see by the pics! This might just have to become a tradition!


On the flight down to Vegas, the plane was almost empty, so one of the flight attendants (who was quite the flirt!) let me move to first class! It was AWESOME! I also got to go talk to the pilots and sit in the captain's chair before we left!
Merilynn also surprised me with tickets to "Thunder From Down Under" and we'll just let the pic speak for itself ...be still my heart!




We ate dinner one night at Margaritaville and their margaritas were FABULOUS! The band, Synergy, is probably one of the best I've heard! We went back the next night (after the TFDU show) just to get margaritas and listen to the band! They dedicated a few songs to me ... and yes, I am out on the dance floor by myself because they played "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard and I can't sit still for that!
The one pic of the mountain is Timpanogos and the beautiful valley I live in! It was so amazing from the air! Definitely a trip I will NEVER forget!!! THANKS MERILYNN!!!!!
