WoW Amigos in Vegas!

Jason and I play a game pretty regularly. It consumes a lot of our time, but it's our "us" time, so it's ok. Some of you may have heard of a little game called WoW (AKA World of Warcraft). It's an online role playing game. Jason first started playing and then after a few years of fighting WoW for his attention, I gave in and started playing too. It's been so fun playing but I think one of the best parts of the games is being able to hang out with some of your friends EVERYDAY!

How do we hangout with our friends everyday if we are constantly glued to the computer everyday? Simple. We even travel to other countries and planets! Because it's an online game, we can hook our computers up in such a way that we are able to talk to them just like we would be on the phone with them. But these gamers are so much more advanced than el telephono. We use a system called Ventrillo (Vent for short). I love having my friends a Cntrl click away.

Over the last few years we've really gotten to know quite a few of our friends. Some live in Pennsylvania, some in Utah, some lived in Vegas then moved to Utah, some are in Sacramento. Some have had a kid, some of them have had kids, some are kids, some have grandkids! Some got married, most were around for our wedding. I even love being able to rat kids out that were supposed to be grounded but because mom and dad were home, they thought they could get on and get away with it.

August was very eventful for us. We first had Danny and Dave come to visit from Pennsylvania. It was Danny's birthday, so they spent a week in lovely Las Vegas. Brandi and John and their son Tyler were able to come down from SLC for a couple days. The last night they were here we met up with them at Maggiano's in the Fashion Show. It was a BLAST!

The 15th was my sister in laws birthday (Mike's wife), the 16th was my dad's birthday and then the 18th was my other sister in laws birthday (Jason's sister). Though most of the parties were scheduled on different weekends, it was still pretty busy. The following week, our friends Toney and Shelley came from Sacramento to get married and brought our other friend Ryan. They were such crack ups!!! They left the day before Jason's birthday, which is the 31st. So, we were pretty jam packed all month and though it was a very busy month, I'm glad that I made everlasting memories and got to hang out in RL with awesome friends.
