Let it RIDE!

Today is an exciting day!!! In a few hours I'll be on a plane with my husband headed for Vegas to celebrate my best friend's wedding. Wow. Daxi's getting hitched ~ Vegas Styles!

Have I got everything?
Otis to Camp Good Dog - check
Garbage out - Check
Purse to match yellow dress - Damn it! Still haven't figured that one out yet, but the wedding is tomorrow, still have time.
Bags packed - check
Presents purchased - check check check...heh ;)
Dishes done, floors cleaned and all the other shit that takes place when leaving for a week - check, sort of. Okay, didn't vaccuum, but did wash floors.
Manicure/Pedicure - check
Hair cut and colour - CHECK!!!!
Passport - check

...and the rest doesn't really matter. I'm gonna be surrounded by friends and family and ringing bells and flashing lights; the constant sounds of coins dropping and chips clicking in hands full of anticipation, anxiety and hope; dice cracking down the tables, wheels spinning and people hollering LUCKY S-E-V-E-N! And in and amongst all of this obsessiveness and craziness, where the lines of Sin and Virtue collide, I will be there to celebrate with my best friend and those closest to her, a union between two people. Their love and their choice to be together through it all, to be there for the wins and the losses, for the ups and the downs, because life is life, and you just never know what you're gonna get dealt...sometimes you just gotta let it ride.

Isn't that what love is all about? Some things are unexplainable, sometimes you win big unexpectedly. Daxi and Champers did - they are simply lucky in love.

Cliche? Totally...but that's Vegas baby...and by the way...that's life!

You're so right - we are lucky in love. Not just with each other, but with our beautiful friends who used their precious dollars and vacation time to come fly in and celebrate with us.

You helped make our day even more magical than we could have imagined. I'd lay gamble my life savings on that kind of friendship anyday. We love you! Thank you.
