the one about Brett's Birthday

Brett's Birthday was last week on the 28th. He turned 29. For his Birthday, he wanted to go to Wendover, Nevada! We made all of the arrangements, invited anyone who wanted to come, and left Friday afternoon. The only ones who were able to make it were our friends Anna and Angelique. Anna is on the left. She looks sorta mean in this picture (that was taken a few months ago) but let me tell you... this girl is a RIOT!!! She is so stinkin' funny. Angelique is a total sweetheart and I love her guts!!! Anyway, they were excited to join us. They live about 20 minutes away, so we picked them up and away we went. It was about 5 hours to Wendover. It was a long drive, but WELL WORTH IT! We checked into our hotel and started playing. It was so laid back and fun. We had no plans. We ate when we were hungry. We slept when we were tired. We showered when we stunk. We gambled when we felt like losing. So that probably answered your question... We didn't win big. :( We went to pretty much all of the casinos, but our favorite one was at the hotel where we stayed. It was called the Wendover Nugget. I went knowing I only like to play slots. And cheap ones at that. I hate throwing money away. I would rather buy a new purse or something. But I left being a HUGE fan of Craps and Roulette. Brett loves Craps, so he taught me how to play. FUN!!!! And on our last day we were watching the Roulette table. It wasn't very busy there and this super nice lady totally taught us how to play. Its easy, but she gave us some hints and tips. We had a BLAST playing that! We wished we would have started sooner! Anyway, it was such a fun weekend. I had to steal all of my pictures from the internet because, like a total idiot, I only took one picture the whole weekend. (I will get to that in a second) We got the cheapest rooms and they were adjoining, so our room looked nothing like this! We did, however, have a nice view of the pool, but it looked nothing like this either. It was NASTY, SLUDGEY, GREEN and DISGUSTING!! I am sure it was because of the time of year, but it was still gross, and right outside our window! We laughed about our "rooms with a view" the whole weekend.

I kept thinking I should take some pictures, but I just never did. I wanted to go to the Wendover Cowboy, but nobody else cared. So pretend I am standing here happy as can be with my buddy Wendover Will. (again, picture stolen from the internet. Seriously, Brett wouldn't stop for me to take a picture!) I did take one picture though, and it is so good I have to share. We were waiting at our hotel for the shuttle that takes people to all of the different casinos. We saw this guy through the window and his mullet was just too good to pass up.
How 'bout you, Joe Dirt??

HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!! so funny!!

That is so funny that the only picture you have to document the trip and Brett's b-day is a mullet man! I am still laughing. :)

Sounds like a really fun weekend! The best part of the post is the one and only picture you took of a mullet! That made me laugh! That poor guy doesn't have a clue that he's on someone's blog! Too funny!
