i'm back

Well, I've been back since last Wednesday, but I've kinda putting this off. After going a week without internet, I sort of got used to it. I think that was a good thing, if only everyone took upon that opportunity.

First of all, I didn't loose all my money in Vegas. I came home with only $50 less than I went up with, and I sure did do a lot of shopping! My mom and I met up with Marisa and went to Michaels and Jo Anns, two stores that we don't have here in Hawaii. She made my mom and I cute raks. Inside them were Bath & Body Works lotion and hand sanitizer.

I set the timer on my camera to go off, and got this picture on the first try!!!
I had fun at the Hollister at the Primm Mall on the Nevada/California boarder. The clothes are so cheap there! And yes, I LOVE Hollister :)

I got this Hollister jacket for $16! The shorts are Roxy. I got them for $10 at the Quicksilver outlet.

I was so tempted to get these Hollister shorts in every color that they had since they were only $18!

I love wearing Hollister's drawstring shorts around the house. They are so comfortable. Most of you know by now that my mom was sick with a stomach flu for most of our trip, so I got her the pink shorts. She was sleeping in the back of the car while her and my dad waited for me to do my shopping at a mall down the street from our hotel. She wanted to go clothes shopping on pur trip because and she cleaned out her closet before we left so I figured why not get her first pair of Hollister shorts... and pink is her favorite color.

I felt bad that my mom was sleeping in the back of the car so I rushed over to Hot Topic and grabbed the first things that caught my eye! I have been wanting the Twilight lunchbox for a long time now, and I finally found it!!! I also picked up one for Linda.

Yes, I know, I'm crazy, but who can resist?

Like I really needed to get this pillow case... haha!!!

My cousin talked me into getting these sun glasses. They were $10. I got the Bath & Body Works lip balm for 99 cents.

I really wanted this bag, but even with it on sale I didn't want to pay that much for it. I don't think that anyone should spend more than $40 on a bag, haha! My mom finally talked me into getting it. She said that I would regret not buying it and that since she would need my help with the kids she watches until she got her strength back from the flu she wouldn't mind paying for it. It was on sale for $200 cheaper than the original price.

If only I was as good at Blackjack like my dad...

We didn't make it to the Grand Canyon because of my mom getting sick, but my dad still took us to the Hoover Dam. I was so excited to finally stand in two places at once- Nevada and Arizona.

They are building a bridge as an extension of the highway. The road that goes over the dam will be mainly for tourists checking it out. That bridge is crazy high!

I can add Arizona to my list now! It was so windy, so for you Twilighters- "Hey Arizona, how you liking the WIND girl?" hahaha!!!

The water level is down but it makes for perfect scenery.

We got to spend some time with my aunty, uncle, and cousin while we were in Vegas. This is my cousin's baby Isaiah. He is 1/4 Portugese, 1/2 Black, Filipino, Japanese, Hawaiian, Chinese, and Hawaiian!!! He will be turning two this Saturday. I hadn't seen him since he was 3 months old, but he became so attached me me while we were there. Now, my aunty asks him if he wants to go with me and he grabs his cup and one of the trucks I got him for his birthday and goes and stands at the door saying "Meme." He can't quite say "Jamee" yet.

I just had to do this. Cullen cars... Here is Carlisle's black Mercedes S55 AMG.

I never thought I would find a yellow Porsche, but I did. Its not the same model as Alice's, but close enough. Same with the red BMW convertible. Its not the same model as Rosalie's, but it looks almost the same.

And finally, what's going on vacation, when you live on an island, and not checking out every state license plate you can find? Mississippi, California, Utah, Ohio, New York, Louisiana, Colorado, Nebraska, Arizona, Virginia, Oklahoma, Tennesse, Florida, Nevada, and Washington.

Ok, sorry if I bored any of you. I will post a few raks in a few days. I'll start posting my creations again by Saturday. I just finished my Twilight Tuesday card for this week, so I'll get that up soon. I can't wait to see what you all made while I was away!!!
