We celebrated our first 'holiday' in Las Vegas at the beginning of May. I just love Cinco de Mayo, whether you think its a real holiday or not. This year we got to spend it at the Cabo Wabo. I have been to a Cabo Wabo before but that was junior year at Mizzou and we were actually in Cabo! We sat on the end of the bar where the drinks are picked up by the waitresses and so whenever there was a mess up, we got it! It was very entertaining! We did order a few of our own selections. My favorite was the drink of the day, but now for the life of me, I can not remember what it was.
Gotta love pictures of drinks!
Blue yummy thing that I don't remember what it was called.
These are the drinks that we loved! They were huge and took a long time to drink because they were so sweet.
After having our fair share of drinks at the Cabo Wabo, we headed down to the street and over to the Bellagio to watch the show! I am in love with the water show they do there! You should go!
Probably should have done this part of the post first since technically we found the house and had everything moved in before we headed to the Strip for Cinco de Mayo.
We found the house of our dreams here! Its a monster!! It was a little scary at the beginning though. We didn't really want to look at the house because it was a little out of our price range but we decided to look anyway. As soon as we walked in, we were in love! Its huge and spacious! We thought about it for a little bit but by the time we decided that we wanted it, it was too late and the office was closed for the night. So we got everything together and were planning on getting there first thing in the morning. We got there right when they opened only to find there was a guy right in front of us who was applying for the same house. We couldn't believe our bad luck. We applied for it anyway but were not hopeful. We waited and waited. They said 3 business days but unfortunately that did not include the weekend. So after turning the application in on Friday, we finally got a call on Tuesday at 4pm. Talk about panicking. It turns out that the company presented both applications to the owner and the owner had selected us. We signed the lease the next day and luckily the Air Force was able to get our things out of storage and delivered to the new house on Thursday!
These aren't the pretty pictures yet, but they are in the process of moving in.
This is the view from the front door.
The living room with mass chaos in it.
The kitchen with all the boxes in it. Looks a lot cleaner now.
The funniest/most annoying part of the unpacking was the amount of paper that we didn't know what to do with afterwards. I mean really, I know they are liable but this was a seriously huge amount of paper. We took it to the recycling center. We filled up the car without seats in it 3 times to get all the paper there. We ended up making $10 off of the paper which we used to get some much deserved Cherry Limeades from Sonic!
We had about a week to get as much unpacking done as we could before it was time to head back to StL for the rest of the madness which was May.
Until Next Time!
Lots of Love!!
