The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning

that God would call your name.

In life we loved you dearly;

in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

You did not go alone;

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories,

Your love is still our guide.

And though we cannot see you,

You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken

And nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one,

The chain will link again.

I think this poem says all the things that I can't seem to say. And I hope we will all be together again. I miss you Nana. There is a hole in my heart that still aches daily. I wish you were here. 

Vegas

A couple of weeks ago we went on a girls trip to Vegas. My mom, my sister and my Aunt all went together. My Aunt goes to Vegas every year for her birthday- and she normally goes with my Nana. So this year we decided to take her! We only stayed a couple of nights but we had a lot of fun.

Here are all the girls dressed up and ready for a night of shopping, eating out and going to see Celine Dion:

I love the shops at Caesar's... this was by FAR my favorite store. Same with Boots. We LOVE H&M and this location was new and huge. It was so much fun:

Most of you know that I love the t.v. show, The Office... so while we did all our shopping and had many, MANY bags we kept quoting Kevin by saying, "Women be shoppin'!!"

And NO.... these are not our bags. We were helping out our Aunt by taking her stuff back to the hotel. That woman has style!!

Our hotel- on our way out. It was so great. We also saw The Phantom at the last minute. We hadn't planned on that, but I am so glad we did it- that was my favorite part of the trip! I have never seen the play, and I LOVED it. Bri and I also hung out at the pools for a little bit and walked to different shops and the mall.. we kind of walked everywhere. We had a blast and a big Thanks to Jennie for letting us go with her!! And a big thanks to my Mom who spoiled us all!
