neon boneyard

Did you know that Vegas has a boneyard of old neon signage?!? It's super cool!! It sucked that we happened to be in Vegas the one weekend it was actually cold so walking around the boneyard was a jittery affair, but don't worry, we're troopers and still managed to take over a hundred pics!!

 This is what our group looked like the whole time. Snap Snap!!

 

You can tell he just loves it when I take his picture!

 

 

 

 

 

(She just couldn't get over the feeling that something was watching her.)

Haha!

So fun!! At night I guess some of them are lit up! Now that would be awesome to see!!

fall strolling

Thanksgiving is around the corner and the last week that I want it to be Fall. I know that I said Fall is my fav and it is! I just have another fav time and that's Christmas! I think part of the excitement of Fall is that's its the beginning of all my most favorite things! Fall trees and cardigan wearing to snow covered grounds and sparkly lights! So goodbye to Fall and Sunday Fall walks. Which speaking of Fall walks, Chicago has some of the best tree lined streets for taking strolls! 

You know you have a good hubs when the walk ends up with him carrying the nieces and holding the dogs leash! Haha!

Serious cuteness!

Also, you need to take advantage of an un-raked yard every chance you get!

(same thing with an untouched snow covered yard)

Goodbye pretty Fall trees and being able to walk around without a jacket.

Until next year!

Notre Dame

While in Chicago we went to the BYU vs Notre Dame football game (the hubs is a BYU Football fanatic). Fall football is always fun, but I was most ecstatic to tour the campus! I've always wanted to see an old Eastern campus in the fall (maybe next time I'll get to see Yale or Harvard campus?!?). I was not disappointed in Notre Dame though! Here are some of the million photos I took.

  Papa Steele and some of the Chicago Steele clan (Jer, Mel, & Hunter)

 Touchdown Jesus!

 Unfortunately BYU lost, but it was so close!!

douchey voter

 

I voted early on Friday. Yay me! This isn't a political post though. I'm here to talk about the douche who stole my parking spot!! Now I don't consider me to be an angry driver, but I seriously wish I would have rammed this guy, slit his tires, and cut him!

So here I am just minding my own business waiting for a car to back out so I can park in the spot when the douche who is waiting behind me whips around me and STEALS my spot!!!  I mean it was a full on steal!! Not a "we got there at the same time who's spot is this?", it was a full on "I'm a car BEHIND you, and a douche, so I'm stealing your spot!" I had to slam on my breaks to avoid hitting his crappy mini van. Please see the the diagrams below.

I parked in an open spot just a little way up the aisle (cause there were many more spots), and I thought I would tell him how rude he was, but then I saw he had a handicap sticker and walked with a cane. Plus his wife was gimping along the sidewalk. So as I walked past them I didn't say anything cause I wondered if that would make me the jerk for telling off someone who has handicaps?? Well as I stood in line I just kept fuming and decided that they probably had problems walking cause they were overweight, which is something they did to themselves and not a legit handicap, but how do you not look like a tool in front of all the other voters when you tell a guy off out of the blue?? None of them saw the incident, so that would just make me a big douchy angry driver! Guys, I missed my window!!! Ugh!! So every few minutes I would turn around and give this look:

Yeah, I know how to really hurt people! I'm seriously still boiling about this incident and my lack of yelling at someone. Since Batman wasn't there to right my injustice now I'm just waiting for the next person to do me wrong to take my wrath out on them. I'm a super villain in the making, look out everyone!!!
