Arizona, Hawaii and Vegas!! LETS GO!!

I know this isn't news to anyone to anyone but I have been kind of all over the place trying to squeeze in as much vacation time before I have to go back to work.  I was in Arizona working but was able to see my Grandparents which was so much fun.  Then I went on a trip to Hawaii, it was a bonus work trip but was more like a family vacation (a major perk with working with family)  We were there a week and did some amazing things such as; paddle boarding, North shore wave jumping/survival, skydiving, luau at the PCC, swimming with sharks, Dole factory, beach time, amazing restaurants, shopping, Hiking Diamond Head, and Pearl Harbor.... Definitely a fun filled week with much needed sun and good company!

After my return home from Hawaii I had just enough time to unpack, do laundry, pack and head to Las Vegas for our "Girls Trip" with my mom and sisters.  We had such a fun time, we stayed at the Trump Tower right across from the Runway Mall/Nordstroms.  (I don't know which is worse, a casino for the guys or a mall for the girls) ha. We were able to get 3 tickets for the MWC tourney, we watched the men play on thursday and that night we went to dinner with a long time friend Jessica!!! It was so fun to catch up and visit! 
 Unfortunately the BYU women's team lost but we still got to see the men's team play and witness the 52 point output of Jimmer! That was so exciting!  Of course we managed to squeeze in some shopping and pool time.  All in all it was a fun and relaxing time together.  
Yes this is all of our luggage... :)
