Finals and Fun

If that isn't the corniest title then I don't know what is! That's why I love blogging... some stuff you write is pretty good, other stuff not so good, but regardless you always get published (: A few weeks ago Brady and I had FINALS. It was quite a stressful semester, and it took every last drop of motivation to "endure to the end". After our last test, our Biology final, we hopped in the car and headed off to Vegas for a few days of R&R. I love living in St. George, because we are a rather small town, but in only a few hours you can be to Las Vegas! So whenever we are feeling the need to escape or shop for a few days, off we go to Sin City. Of course we CTR as much as possible, but in Vegas, as long as your eyes are open you feel sinful just walking down the street sometimes. It's a good reminder to stay in school and away from drugs. As far as accommodations are concerned, we have a tradition of using Priceline.com to book our room. This is so fun because we enter our requirements into the computer along with a target price, and with the click of the mouse...our hotel is randomly chosen. It is always a fun surprise and a good opportunity to stay at lots of different hotels while also staying on budget. It is also convenient that two of my really good friends live in vegas. We used to all be on the same gymnastics team and now they are performing for Le Reve, which is an AMAZING circus show! We got backstage passes once, and it was so amazing to see all the technology and coordination that goes into their incredible performance. Last time we went to Vegas we ate dinner at Bobby Flay's (Food Network Celebrity) restaurant called Mesa Grill.
It was so yummy and Bobby was actually there for a special party. They serve the most amazing breadsticks and I talked our waiter into getting the head chef to write down the recipe for me... and he did! Great service, great food, great ambiance, I highly recommend it. See the recipe below, of course it makes like a bazillion breadsticks, so we will have to like tenth the recipe. Anyhow, if you are ever in Vegas, give us a call and we will be happy to come meet up with you for a little night life!
