Update / Vegas Trip

It has been a super long time since I have posted anything, but I am alive and well here in Cedar City. I am on the brink of finishing my second semester at SUU, and am really looking forward to taking a break from classes for the summer. The most recent news for me was being accepted into Beta Gamma Sigma, which is an honors organization for students in business programs. I was pretty surprised when I got the invitation which only goes out to those who are in the top 10% of their classes. Anyway, on to the fun stuff, this last weekend I got to take a trip down to Vegas with a few friends. We went down as kind of a belated birthday celebration for my friend Amy. So at a little after 6:00 on Saturday night me, Amy, Val, Dave, and Dani drove to Vegas. We went and ate at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville in the Pink Flamingo. After dinner we walked around on the strip for a while. We tried to go and watch the show outside of Treasure Island, but we got there part-way through and it was too crowded to really see anything. So we headed for the Stratosphere so we could go and ride the Big Shot! It was pretty sweet just checking out the view from on top of the Stratosphere. I tried to get some pictures of the city, but they just didn't turn out very well. The Big Shot was a blast though, and I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it. After the ride, we headed back down to the Bellagio. We hung out in the casino for a bit and wasted a little money. I think it would have been a loss for everyone, but Dave won $5 at the very end on some video poker. After we finished with that we made our way back to Cedar City. We didn't get back until 5:15, so it made it a little tough to get up for church the next day, but I still made it. I would definitely say it was worth the trip just to get away for a little and have some fun with friends.
