"Total Relaxation"

It has been a couple of weeks since I last posted but a lot has been going on. Torrey and I had the opportunity to fly to Las Vegas and stay at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Henderson Nevada. Torrey had met all of his numbers that he is accounted for at Smiths so Torrey was in for winning the grand prize that Smith's was giving away. 32 store Directors met their goal out of 150 Store Directors. So way to go Torrey!!!! What a beautiful place! It sits just off of Lake Las Vegas so it was just relaxing and the weather was just perfect. Not to hot but not to cool either. April is a great month to visit Las Vegas if you would ever like to go unless you like intense heat. We flew in at about 1:00 p.m. and was shuttled to our destination. We had the afternoon to ourselves so we went and had lunch at a yummy Mexican Restaurant and then walked around the hotel a bit and checked out the surroundings. It was a great chance to reconnect for a bit. Later that night, we met at the little beach and had dinner with the group and played beach games which was a lot of fun. Torrey won a $400.00 golf driver that night which cost him $20.00 but was very comical and will have to tell the story sometime on how he won. Smith's people will not be forgetting that anytime soon. Saturday was a very relaxing day for me because Torrey went and played golf all day with the group of Directors. His new driver served him well. They played "Best Ball" which he said that they used a lot of his drives but he ended up being 4 over par. He had alot of fun! I went for a walk around Lake Las Vegas and looked at all of the beautiful homes around the golf course. I came back and started reading a book and sitting by the swimming pool catching a few sun rays which these white legs are definitely in need for. I was able to take a nap and then when Torrey came back we relaxed by the pool with some other people we knew. We then got ready for the big night. Torrey was feeling pretty confident about winning the grand prize of either $15,000,two jet ski's (which we were wanting),two snowmobiles, or two, four wheelers. After a delicious salmon dinner was the prize giveaway. Needless to say we did not win but had a great time trying. The winner walked away with $15,000. We flew out early Sunday morning and were able to get back to Green River in good time. Thank you so much Julie and Sara for taking the girls. They had so much fun!!! It was very nice to get away with Torrey and know that the kids were in good hands. We appreciate it more than you know.
