My NYC friends!

I had the rare and FUN opportunity to see some old friends today in Las Vegas. They were visiting here from NYC. It was SO FUN TO SEE THEM! It was Paul's birthday today! They were staying at the Palazzo, and Brendan and I were able to go up to their room and hang out for a little over an hour. We took a picture before we left. It was SO GOOD to see them! I resemble a chipmunk in this picture, but it's darling of everyone else, so I sacrifice. :) L to R is Wade Foster, Paul Canaan, Me and Brendan, Carlos Encinias, and Karyn Mann. SO fun to see them. :) I miss my friends.

Wade and I were really close in Jackson Hole and BYU, and he just got done doing another performing job on a world tour cruise ship. I LOVE WADE! He is one of my favorite people. He's so crazy and makes me laugh so hard. Karyn amazes me. She is one of the coolest ladies. She is a social worker in Manhattan that works with AIDS victims. She has a heart of gold and is so fun/funny. I miss her. She has the best laugh. Paul and Carlos have been in so many Broadway shows that I've lost count. Paul is currently in "Legally Blonde" on Broadway and is involved with the reality tv show of "Legally Blonde:Casting Elle Woods" or something like that, 'cause he's good friends with the director/choreographer Jerry Mitchell. I saw the preview/commercial on my tv the other night for it and said "Hey! That's Paul!" LOL. He too is hilarious. He's one of the funniest people I've ever met. I have such successful friends...I'm in awe of their lives. I miss the city SO MUCH! It was so weird sitting with them with Brendan...it's so strange how I'm a mommy now, but I wouldn't trade being a mommy for anything in the world.

Brendan was so cute today at the casino...squealing at every chink/chang, lights, fountains, chandeliers, view from the suite of the tiny cars, etc. He loved being there in the excitement and we had so much fun looking at everything. He was a good boy too, around my friends...only gave a couple of dirty looks. LOL He is teething still and was SO TIRED, but he still had fun and laughed a little. He let me stay for over an hour, so I was grateful. :)

It was SO FUN to see them! Hopefully I'll get back to Manhattan soon so I can visit again soon. :D
