what happens in vegas

will most definitely not stay in vegas. just fyi

Never have i ever-been on a roadtrip (with anyone besides family)

been to California

been to Vegas

been to Disney Land

put my foot in the Pacific Ocean

or spent 4 days straight with lyle....up until 2 days ago.

Hows that for trying to doing something for the first time everyday? Crossed a bunch of fun stuff off my list :)

We got up pretty early Wednesday-we as in my roomie Shannon, my sista Shannon and my man, to start our roadtrip. yeah, it got a bit confusing...My roomies man was supposed to come as well but he ended up just meeting us in Cali but we all still wanted Lyle along and i'm sure Lyle was just dying to listen to some tswift and bond with us ;) The ride down was full of the best roadtripping games a person could think of-thanks to my room mate, and a food stop in St Jeezy. We arrived in Vegas and i loved it instantly! Still doesnt surpass my love for New York but its up there. We stayed in the Stratosphere- which in my opinion was one of the coolest hotels there.
 

My top 5 parts of the trip:

1. ring shopping at Tiffanys

2. 'tis a secret ;) 

3. Laying out at the stratosphere and getting SUN

4.having the best meal ever with my cousin & his family

5. the new york hotel
 

Day 1:We went shopping and sight seeing- i am amazed at all we managed to cram into one day. Lyle even wanted to go into Tiffanys-yes lyle, but it had nothing to do with my eyes getting big, my pointing and saying Tiffanys!...nothing to do with it at all... and then I picked out the prettiest ring ever! We were sold until they told us the price and then we said well goodbye, its been fun.We went into the Venetian hotel, the Paris hotel, saw the Bellagio Fountains, the Mirage show, were treated to an amazing dinner with my cousin Jeremy, his wife Monica and their beautiful girls, grabbed a frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity 3 -loveee it, got to go to the top of the stratosphere for free! since we stayed there...i watched lyle gamble (responsibly!) where he won $20 but the guy next to us lost $1,000 in 5 minutes...ouch...It was such a different experience- you hear so many bad things about Vegas but i loved it!

imitators from the Hangover were everywhere! these guys were the best :)

^ lyle thought about it ;)

Day 2: We woke up and layed out at the pool at our hotel. AHMAZING. I am slightly embarrassed to say i am a sun worshipper all the way- from sun up to sun down i could lay by the pool...poor lyle however was done about an hour in-he was getting a little burnt. :/ Lyle treated all of us to Pina coladas or daquiris and the day got that much better. Us three girls bonded when Lyle went into the hotel to hang out for a bit. Then we all got ready and went to the Coke & M and M factory and had dinner at the Hard Rock. After that we headed to cali.

Day 3: Disney Land!! I'll be honest Disney world > Disney land. But maybe its just because i'm an East Coast kind of girl. The weather was so nice and we got to hit up all the major rides right away with no wait! We got pretty lucky. We really hit everything we wanted to see and it was great. I LOVE fireworks but we were so beat we didnt get to stay and see those. All in all it was a good day.

what the woman thought lyles name was...hahaha uh

"duck faces" we think we are so funny

^ lyles idea. i approved

Day 4: We went to Laguna Beach and layed out ALL day. It was freezing until about 1 though and then the sun came out.

sorry for the PDA...well, kind of

 

now i'm back in the real world and procrastinating studying by blogging-but its worth it.

when nay comes to visit...

Sometimes your little sister comes out to visit and you are so excited bc shes never visited before and you map out all these fun things to do with her but you realize theres not enough time in one week to get it all done :/ but anyway you help make a bomb dinner and then she gets stuck in Arizona for days...and by days i mean til midnight...when she was supposed to get in at about 2:30...

sometimes your boyfriend takes you to pick her up and youre all nervous that they wont hit it off and he goes "i might need to take another lap around-i'm so nervous"...he was kidding of course. and then sometimes you think its a good idea to hike the Y so you get together a group and decide to hike it. But then sometimes it turns into a competition and you want to speed up the mountain but no one else is down...and then sometimes you get to the top and it turns into a full blown photo shoot...but before that Nay manages to drop her phone down the Y-but spidey steve was able to scale down it and save the phone

lyle and his soon to be sister ;)

cute face ly

and then sometimes you go to dinner with your boyfriends family to chilis and nay says "youre getting a really good family" and i agree. sometimes unflattering pictures like this are taken...and you dont know why you are posting it again...on your blog. and sometimes you all decide to go see Wreck it Ralph at the dollar theater and by all you definitely dont mean yourself and sometimes you have the worst headache and arent super into the movie until..."oorreo, oreo" and then you cant stop laughing and laughing and its loud and lyle tries to whisper shhh but he doesnt wanna sound like a jerk and you realize youre prob embarrassing him but oh well. Nay got to go shopping, lyle brought over his oldschool nintendo games and put her in heaven, i made her breakfast since we were too lazy to go to kneaders and just got to hang out...And then sometimes you decide to go on a roadtrip :)....

sorry about the picture overload

Oh waiting is NBD

So little unknown fact about me: WAITING, yeah, not really my thing. Its not exactly that i'm impacient....yes, yes it is....i just dont really like to wait on anything. I'm the "i need it right now kinda person." While Lyle has been out of town for almost two weeks, i've been going through some er phases because for the time we've been dating hes been gone 4 out of the 7 weeks and i'm really starting to miss him. In the meantime, i've figured out the different stages a person goes through when waiting on someone, or well, at least me...

1. this sucks but we can do it! [stage]

after all, it is only two weeks & whats two weeks? uhh ETERNITY

2. WHY AM I SO BORED [stage]

3. The everyone asks how you are doing [stage]

Caitlin how are you? Do you miss him?

and when they dont believe you & ask again...

4. True life- I am the third wheel [stage]

well i found all my friends...& their boyfriends- if i had a dollar for everytime i felt like a third or fifth wheel

5. I may be kinda sad...

& thus consequently emotionally unstable[stage]

 
6. The "lets break up" i cant handle this [stage] how accurate...

7. The sadness subsides and the attitude [stage] sets in...

which leads us to 8.

[stage]

9. I'm sorry i am crazy & now i'll be your #1 fan again [stage]

you can do it babe! You should stay the other two weeks i'm okay here...

10. The i know you wanna

because you miss me-so lets talk about getting married [stage]

11. the we are in the final stretch so i am gonna try not to freak out

but rather sit her all cute and patient [stage]

Better hurry home Lyle or you will be coming home to this...

I wish i could say that these arent accurate...i guess you'll just have to ask Lyle...Anway, we have a whole summer of waiting ahead of us when Lyle is in Houston and i'm in Europe so its good that i'm getting to be a pro at it. All good things come to those that wait though :) I cant wait for Sunday!!
