Tuesday in Vegas was kind of nice - a little on the cool side, but nice for strolling down the strip.
I was up at the crack of dawn. I wanted to take a stroll around the resort property, but I was up SO early that a lot things weren't open yet. So Jerry and I kind of lounged around the condo for a bit.
After a bit of miscommunication, I found my hair and make-up artist and she came to the resort to do my hair and make-up trial. Loved it. It looked so great! And even when I took my hair down, I could pin up pieces on the sides and it still looked amazing. Lori was awesome. We chatted just about the entire time about nothing. She is very easy-going and gentle with my hair. There were points where I could have fallen asleep while she worked.
All of that was in my hair!
While I was being pampered, Jerry went for a walk to the strip and was gracious enough to bring my back a nice coffee to wake me up again.
Once Lori was finished, Jerry and I grabbed our Fat Tuesday mugs and headed to Planet Hollywood for sandwiches and 32 oz of margaritas - I mixed mango and regular margarita while Jerry tried amaretto-pineapple and margarita. I think I liked his better. We will have to create some new mixes today ;)
We then returned to the resort to get ready for photos. In the mean time, Jerry's family and the rest of the Hoell clan and the Dashleys arrived.
Engagement photos were less than stellar. I was not a huge fan of the outcome and felt we were incredibly rushed to get them done... but that's also because there were MANY other families looking to take photos at the LV sign. Hopefully when we work with the same photog on our wedding day, he will take a bit more time. We also stopped to get our marriage license and then back to the resort we went where we stopped in to see Jerry's parents before heading back to our room.
We kind of gave in at this point - popped some frozen pizzas in the oven and flipped on the TV for the remains of NCIS. By 10:30, I was flat out spent and headed for bed. Unfortunately, that meant an early morning for me, even after taking Advil PM when I woke up around 11:30 with horrible pain in my knee.
It's still early here so I am waiting for Jerry to arise so that we can map out our day. I'm really looking forward to seeing all our friends and family who arrived yesterday.
