Well it turned out to be a bust for me.......I was a big fat loser. But we had a blast. Las Vegas is only about 6 hours from here. And we got to stay for free at the Bellagio (Lindsey's friends from back home hooked us up!), what more could you ask for. The Bellagio is a hell of a lot nicer than where I stayed the last time I went. Anyway, I lost money, who doesn't. But I'm not a big gambler so trust me it wasn't much. We walked around mostly and checked out all the casinos. Lindsey friends again had the hook up so we got to go in this awesome club on the 64th floor at Mandolay Bay called Mix. They had a bottle limit to get in, which means you had to buy a bottle of alcohol to get a table. It was pretty awesome. Anyway, that's basically sums up our trip.....short and SWEET!
Too bad we're not actually in Paris!

Camping in Moab UT.......amazing!
Ok so I know it's been a while since I've wrote, but I've been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. And yes some of that does include my clinical, it's not all play. Anyway, last weekend was Lindsey's birthday and she had the itch to go camping. So that's what we decided to do. We were able to get off work on Friday and head down to Moab, UT which is in the southeastern part of the state. A couple of the students that work at my clinic also joined us. It was nice to have some company other than Lindsey.....don't worry we both feel this way. So we camped under the beautiful stars all weekend! Saturday we went to Arches National Park and hiked all day long. It was absolutely beautiful there. Sunday we went to Goblin Valley and ran around there for a few hours before heading home. Pretty sure we hiked a good 10 miles at least last weekend. When we got back to SLC, we were absolutely exhausted. But we had an awesome time. Check out the pics. Oh, and just to make you guys jealous.......we're heading to Vegas this weekend! Can't wait!
We're goobers!
Petroglyphs on one of the rocks.....Lindsey wanted me to translate for her, but little did she know that those were from the wrong tribe....Geez!
We were working hard to hold that rock up! Whew!
Nice view
