Our Vegas Vacation

I thought I'll share some pictures from our trip to Vegas. Had a great time with Eric. Just wish his vacation lasted a lifetime.... Miss you Hubbz!!! Come back sooooooon...

Spent 5 days in Vegas and all the five days were action packed, exciting and great!
Stayed at the Bellagio (which I would pick again to stay at in a heartbeat. What a wonderful hotel!).
Gambled at a bunch of places - Bellagio, Ceasar's, Harrah's, Bally's, O'Shea's, Flamingo and MGM.
Visited the following - MGM Lion Habitat, Flamingo Gardens, Freemont Street Experience (a 1/4mile TV screen, and a bunch of celebs. Very cool place!), Treasure Island, The largest gold nugget in the world, Stratosphere (Eric jumped off a 860ft tower, check out the video below!), The Gun Store(One of the only places in the states that lets you shoot real machine guns!).
Watched the shows - KA by Cirque (a must watch in a lifetime!), Wild Magic by Dirk Arthur, The Call of the Sirens (cheesy show at TI).
Ate at a bunch of fine dining places - Mesa Grill (Bobby Flay's restaurant WOW!), Emeril Lagasse's, Bellagio fine dining, Rio World Carnival Buffet etc.


Here's the view from our room at the Bellagio





Here are the Vegas show gals doing a number on Eric. The very next second she tried to kiss Eric and I pulled him awwwway.






Us at the Flamingo Gardens.






I shot a freakkkking MACHINE GUN!!! What an experience. And I was almost perfect. Got all my shots on Osama!!! The instructor was mighty impressed!






Bobby Flay's restaurant at Ceasars. Wow! Wow! Great food. Very unique and different. Bobby, I'm a fan!!






Eric's dad and step mom were able to visit with us and spend some time the day we were leaving. Was great to meet them!!!!


VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!

Eric jumps off the Stratosphere in Vegas

If you take a close look, you'll see Eric trying to run through the air at 0.05 secs.

This was a great day. Lots of fun and great excitement to see him jump. Next time, I will find the courage to do it too :)

So so so proud of him....

He's out there in Afghanistan, making those bad bad people quiver.
I'm so proud of him, his dedication and focus. He just added another feather to his cap. He got promoted yesterday. He is now a Staff Seargent. And I am his proud proud wife..... :)

Please welcome RUFFUS!!

Hey hey hey.... Here's Ruffus! Got him last week on my birthday. He's a Maine Coon cat. So far so good. Not too hard to take care of. And he's a cuddly little bozo. Loves attention. He's supposed to be taking care of me while Eric's deployed. Lets see how well that goes... :)

Eric leaves on Thursday July 29th 2010 for his one year tour to Afganistan. And then, its going to be me and Ruffus!

Army Ball

Had a blast at the Army Cav Ball. Got to see some military formalities that I used to hear about... Great to see all these brave men in uniform with their gorgeous spouses!

Mr. & Mrs.

Ever wonder why God gives us two?

A right hand to show the left what to do.

One ear to listen and one to hearthe problems of others,their laughter and fears.

One eye to watch and one to behold the beautiful treasures that life has to hold.

One foot to travel and one to stand tall.

Two feet to land on if we should fall.

One man to stand by a woman's side;

One woman to cherish being his bride.

The love between partners comes shining through and that is the reason God has made two.

The things we do for love....

This weekend, Eric got baptized as a Syrian Orthodox Christian. The wonderful wonderful Shibu Achan and friendly folks at the Raleigh Church helped us with this. Such a nice church family! Lucky to have found them.
Eric got this done for me so that we can go to India and get married in my church there along with my family!! What a wonderful wonderful man!
Paul and Beth accompanied us to be there for him. Had a good weekend in Raleigh with them! Also went shopping and Eric got his wedding clothes....
