Vegas :))

this is also coming soon. sorry to keep you waiting. but. its great :) hahah

I ended up going to Vegas with Kiaya for Heather and Eddies newest baby's blessing. I had an absolute blast. At first me and Kiaya were just joking about me going with her. She was at my house and her mom came to pick her up to go home to get ready to leave. We thought it would be funny if I just got in the car and see what her mom would say. By the time her mom got to my house to pick her up we were not ready to go. My hair was still wet and we were still eating lunch. To make it seem real I got a backpack on and just stuffed it with some shorts that were sitting on my bed to make it look full of stuff I would need to go to Vegas, I grabbed my food to go, and I followed Kiaya to the car. I got opened the car door, and got in. Kathy just kind of said hi to me. Then Kiaya said that I was going to her house with her then Kathy asked me if I was going to Vegas with them and Kiaya said yes. Then her mom just said okayy and then drove off. and that is how it all started. I really only had the shorts in my backpack so I called my mom, got permission to go, had her hurry and come get me, take me home to get some things that I would need, then run me back over before they left. that is what I did and then we were off. I had never been to Vegas before, besides driving through it on the way to a basketball game and so this was a new thing for me. The first thing that we did when we arrived in Vegas was go get some dinner with the whole family. Right as we step out of the car about to head in to eat, we see some man(ican)s in the bed of the truck. We just had to kiss them. Me and Kiaya could not go to Vegas without kissing someone, right.?!

Eventually evyone else got there and got us to come eat. When we were done me and Kiaya rode to Heather and Eddies house with Eddie. We were the first ones there and right when we got there Eddie got this great idea. He says to me and Kiaya, lets hurry and go jump off of our balcony onto the tramp before everyone else gets here(they wouldnt allow it). We all get excited about it, decide to do it, and then Eddie said k wait for me though cause I want to be the first one. We listen to him and wait for him. He finally gets up to the balcony, gets on top, and then thinks about it. He started to get a little scared and wasnt sure how he was going to do it. Then he told us to do it first and he would watch from the bottom and see how it is done. Kiaya decided she wanted to be the person to go first and then the same thing that happened to Eddie happened to her. So now niether of them had gone yet but were going to and now they wanted me to go first and then they would. So, I agreed. I got on up there and then I jumped. As soon as I jumped, as I was in the air, I noticed were I was going to land and I didnt want to land there (were I noticed I was going to land was still on the tramp, it was just on a part that I knew would toss me the wrong way). and so while I am still in the air, right after I jumped, but before I landed, I possibly said a certain word. Then I landed. Exactly what I thought would happen did happen. I got flipped the wrong way, a way I didnt want to go, and I landed right on the bars of the tramp. I looked up at Kiaya who was still on top of the balcony and then she looked at Eddie. Eddie didnt act like he really noticed what I had said on the way down, but Kiaya did. They just kind of acted like nothing happened and they just laughed like normal, and then told Kiaya to go. Kiaya went and then it was Eddies turn. When Eddie was up there about to jump for reals this time, everyone else gets home and sees him up there, tells him not to do it, and then he hurry and did it. That was pretty funny as well.



Then we all just kind of went and hung out with the family. and then later Traynlle Kiaya Mike and me went to play. We ended up going to a church to play games. Mike brought some friends. We played there for a few hours in the dark, I think they called it sardiense. While we were out at the church Mike perposed to me (in a jokingly way). that made me laugh.

then some more fun and exciting things happened. and then we went to in and out burger. by the time we got home it was past midnight and so we 'went to bed' cause we had church to attend early that morning. Kiaya and I 'slept' on the tramp. Before we knew it, it was time to get ready to go to the blessing. We got up, got ready, and headed over to the church. The baby blessing was great. After words we took some pictures of everyone that came for the blessing. and then headed back to their house. We all ate dinner as friends and family. slept. and played games. While they were sleeping me and Kiaya took Eddies phone and changed his background to a picture of Kiaya kissing the manican that we had sent to his phone when he wasnt aware. we had been joking around about the kissing of the manicans with him and he got grossed out, he wouldnt even let us show him the picture, we figured he would have to see it when he opened his phone next if it were his background on his phone. so we thought it would be funny. he didnt find it tell later that day and got even more grossed out.

While we were all playing games Emma found some of my things and decided to play with them. First she got my shoes and tried them on.

Then she found my backpack with my wallet in it and decided to dump it all out and play with everything inside.

Emma later helped me put everything back together once she was done with it. Shes definately a cute one.

That day I was talking to Eddie. I figured he had heard what I had said when I jumped off of the balcony but right after that he didnt act like it. I thought that he must be deaf or something, Kiaya heard it plain as day. but I just kind of let it go and tried to forget about it. While I was talking to Eddie that day after dinner, he was acting all normal and we were just joking around laughing and talking like we normaly do so I was thinking everything was good and normal when out of the blue at hte end of his sentense he adds a 'cusser' to it. he said something like 'oh yeah thats good, cusser' and at first I kind of didnt hear him. I was like-what. he replied with a 'you heard me, cusser' then I knew he heard me. I quickly explained and said i was sorry and he just kept continuing to give me a hard time like normal. I really felt bad already, but he just kept going, it didnt help. It was funny, but didnt help. after a while he told me he was just kidding, which I already knew, and he said it was totally okayy and he forgave me right from the begining and everything, and that he just thought it was funny so he decided to bring it up with me and Kiaya. and then at the end of him telling me that we all just kind of laughed. it took me longer to let it go then it did for him, but we still just laughed it off. nobody else really knew what we were talking and laughing about so it kind of became our little inside joke. well it is now at least. well anyways, besides the fact that I slipped up, and in front of Eddie (who is practically family, all them guys are really) none the less, more memorable moments accured. most more delightful. I just enjoyed the weekend in Vegas with Kiaya and the family doing crazy stuff from playing games with the family to jumping off of a balcony to playing games in a dark church past midnight and I had an absolute blast. I had a pretty great rememerable first time in Vegas.
