I was just sitting in bed watching Celine's Dion "A New Day" concert, and I just got teary eyed I don't think anyone could understand why except my Sister and husband. We saw this concert in Las Vegas the day after our wedding, it was a gift from a good friend of my Husband. We took both our sister's and it just made the whole trip complete and now when I hear her music, my wedding is the only thing that comes to mind. I got married in Las Vegas in April 2003 we had about 50 guests attend. Our ceremony was at Ceasars Palace, Celine Dion's home at the time. All I know is besides my daughters birth it was the most memorable, cherished and unforgettable time of my life. I actually had the time of my life. Growing up we never really traveled much and being able to spend 5 days with my family and friends in my favorite city was truly the best wedding I could have envisioned. The flower, food or details were not important to me only looking fabulous and have my favorite and most important people there. I LOVE Vegas and I guess my husband has spoiled me rotten especially since I lost track of how many times we've been there I would have to say more than 25 times (I thinks). I don't know but when I get there I feel alive I don't want to sleep I just want to keep going, it's truly beautiful the hotels, restaurants, the desert and mountains, the shows and entertainment and I cannot forget the gambling.
I haven't been there but for 2 years and I miss it dearly but I won't go back without having enough money, it's just not the same. I am planning a huge 40th birthday for myself and it's going to be in Vegas but that's still 27 months away but I can't wait.
I think it makes me sad to think of this time because it's when life was simple there was not mortgage or children or bills. Even though life is a little more serious today filled with issues we wish would disappear, I am still greatful for the health of my family and the love of my husband which is always more important than anything. My new years resolution besides getting into the best shape of my life is to make life simple and fun again, I want that more than anything!
