Las Vegas

Jacob had a work conference for a week down in Las Vegas, so he decided to leave me for 5 days
 :( He flew me down for the last day that he was there, so he wouldn't have to drive all the way back up alone...and because he missed me :)

Jake surprised me with tickets to see David Copperfield.. An all time favorite for the both of us! We sat down at a table with two other couples from St. George and Canada...when suddenly, a man from the show came up to us asking if we would like to score front row seats to the show. Of course were like Yes, but what's the catch? He told us that we would have to walk in front of the whole audience (on the floor, not the stage), and we would be part of one of his jokes. So as we walked to our seats, he stopped talking, and the BRIGHT spotlight followed us... with David glareing at us, saying "Well, look who has finally come..you missed a video, and my first trick where I came out of box from a motorcycle...etc." Of course, I was mortified! BUT, we scored front row seats! It was so worth it!

Then when you think we had it good enough... David decided he was going to grab two people from the crowd... as soon as I thought I was safe, he passed me and then soon grabbed my hand to be part of his next trick. If anyone knows me, I don't do well with this kind of stuff. Jake said I looked like a pro.. I will say, I couldn't see anyone in the audience because the lights were so bright... I was more nervous with the begginning act than on stage!

So you're thinking, well what did I have to do? Well, he told me I had to pick up a deadly scorpion, which was alive everyone! He gave me these black rubber gloves, and I had to hold this plastic box that was holding the scorpion. I will say... my arms did NOT move! So while I was holding this scorpion for dear life, Copperfield and the other girl were doing a card trick.. and he picked the Scorpion up with his bear hands and the Scorpion grabbed the card she picked... Good Times! The act ended with me having to give David Copperfield a kiss on the cheek :) Yup, be jealous everyone!

Then...we walked around the Strip till our legs were about to fall off...had drunk people attempt to take our pictures, and walked in and out of all the casinos till our lungs couldn't handle anymore!!
