What do you want for Christmas?

24 days!

Ben and I leave for Rexburg in 24 days!
Woo! I think we are both excited to leave Vegas and head back up to our love land of Rexburg.
I've missed school dearly, I've also missed the social life.

Today I was thinking to myself I can't wait to go to Rexburg so I can eat some:

COSTA VIDA!
I don't care what you say, Cafe Rio sucks and Costa Vida is so so so so so much better.

Although I'm not excited for the snow, my nose hairs freezing, or slipping on ice, I'm excited for everything else.

I thought of something else I wanted to eat in Rexburg but now I can't remember what it is, so I guess Costa Vida is it!

We began to pack last night--which really ended up as "woah look at all this cool crap I have that I've forgotten about, that I haven't used in the last 6 months but I still need it".

geesh. Wish us luck in packing!

Thanksgiving!

Our Thanksgiving celebrations started early Thursday morning and ended late Sunday night!
Ben's older brother Brad came and stayed with us for about five days, we partied hard!
Our Thanksgiving was:
Football, Food, and Guns.
Pretty successful!

I of course didn't get many pictures, but I did take a few of my nieces and nephews as we were hanging out after eating!

Abby

Marin

Carson

I didn't get pictures of my other two nephews Colter and Quentin. Colter was too busy playing football and Quentin was too busy pretending to be a dragon.
Aunt Jacquie < Dragon.
who can blame him, right?

burritos. and not the good kind.

Last night I woke up around 2am to hear Ben whining. 

whiningpresent participle of whine (Verb)

Verb:

Give or make a long, high-pitched complaining cry or sound. Complain in a feeble or petulant way. So he was whining. So then this happened: Jacquie: "Ben, what's wrong? Ben?" Ben: "I'M STUCK!" Jacquie: I just started laughing. Ben had managed to roll himself in a sheet burrito and could NOT get out of it!! It was hilarious. I finally helped him roll out of it. And he was a happy clam. He rolled over and fell back asleep.  He doesn't remember a thing.  Poor kid.  He thought he was going to die in that sheet burrito.

The Strip.

So we live in Henderson and we are about 20-25 minutes away from the strip.
So we had nothing to do so we went to the strip!
We parked at Excalibur and played lots of arcade games! We won tickets and I got an eye bouncy ball and Ben got a parachute man.
We then walked to New York New York and were about to ride the roller coaster and we took these pictures:

Then we got in trouble and we couldn't take our phone on the roller coaster, unless we paid an extra fifty cents to put it in a locker. We didn't like that, so we got a refund for our tickets and went on our way.

We then decided we needed some dessert (or rather, I decided) so we headed to the MGM Grand and went to rainforest cafe!
We got the volcano!!! It's awesome! I didn't get a picture of it, but basically its chocolate brownies with chocolate sauce, caramel, ice cream, and whipped cream with a firework on top.
It was delicious.

Ben decided to play 'psychic' again, so we did.
Here was my plate:

 Here was Ben's:

We also got to sit RIGHT next to the fish tank! I decided next time we would bring Gomez our fish and he could play with the other fishies.

Then we made our way back to Excalibur to our car:

I was like:

And Ben was like:

The end.

birthday fun!

So Benny turned 23! We both had to work that day but when we got home this was waiting on the couch:

It said 23 things I love about him!
I won't type them on here, 'cus some of them are too mushy.

Ben got:
-a huge bag of Lindor chocolates (not pictured)

-Atlas Shrugged (a book by Ayn Rand)
-the Gadsden Flag (don't tread on me!)

He kept running around with the flag as a cape, he was so excited! Now it is hanging on our bedroom wall.

-and a shirt and ammo from my Mom and Dad

his face is priceless.

"My cat lady can out-crazy your cat lady!" We both found it pretty hilarious.

We then ate some Great American Cookies "cake" and Ben blew out some "candles"

After all of this we went to Ben's favorite place to eat: All You Can Eat Sushi.
I don't like sushi (actually I've never had it but it just smells awful). Anyways so I ate some vegies and Ben gorged himself. Sadly he ate way too much and had a terrible garlic overload. So instead of going to see a movie we went home, he almost threw up 25358 times and fell asleep at 8:40pm.
He's an old man, what can I say.
But that was the big birthday!  We have 72 more to go! ;)

We sat at the sushi bar and this kitty sat in front of me! Also, you can see my chop stick helper. It was awesome!

Here is Benny, feeling a little queasy eh?

Happy birthday to my husband!

23!

Happy birthday to my hubby!

He is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I love him so much!

He is an old man now, a whopping 23. At least he isn't married to a teenager anymore ;)

I love you Benjamin! 

His birthday dinner will consist of enchiladas, cookie monster cake, and presents!

But you'll have to come back on Monday to see that post :)
