This year has been a bit more challenging for us that usual. Stephen has been through some serious health concerns and is still pretty stressed out about them. He had been taking a supplement for the last seven years and found out that his health was declining because of the supplement. Back in March he decided to get off the supplement and try to live his normal life with out it. That proved to be much more difficult than he thought. This decision has lead him down a path of finding better health overall so it really was for the better.
Stephen has now seen many many doctors to find out what is going on with his health. He had a colonoscopy, a throat scan, and a few MRI's! So far, doctors have said he has anxiety. He has a little bit of reflux and a growth on his thyroid. In his quest to figure out what is going on with his body, he decided to pay $2000 for a full body scan in Vegas. So we flew Sunday night to Vegas!
Sunday we arrived in Vegas pretty early so we had some time to kill before we could check in to our hotel room. We ate at Mon Ami Gabi, which by the way is DELICIOUS! It is also expensive for just two people. Then we walked over to New York, New York the hotel and got our room. As soon as we went up to our room we knew we would have to change rooms. The room was above the pool where the bass was turned up so high it vibrated the windows, the roller coaster ran right by our room every eight minutes, and then our neighbors came in to their room and tried to unlock the adjoining room door THREE times! We could also hear everything they said, so we moved. Good choice!
After moving we went down to the pool and hung out for while in the shade before we finally got hot enough to get in the water. After the pool, Veronica and Chris picked us up to head to dinner at Honey Salt. It was about 22 minutes north of the strip and so delicious! Sharla and John also met us at the restaurant and we all laughed and laughed about how far away Honey Salt was from anything!
Monday, we woke up early and headed in to Stephen's scan. It only took an hour so then we had a lot of time to kill during the day. We went to breakfast at an American diner inside New York, New York and then went to exercise for a bit. We took a much needed nap then went down to the casino. We actually waked to Bellagio and played my favorite bubble pop game. We walked away losers but that is ok, we had fun just sitting there together.
We walked up to our favorite Secret Pizza joint for lunch and then went to see Carrot Top! He was so funny. During the show, Carrot Top talked about how he was trying to be funny so he tried to tip his airplane pilot $5 bucks a few weeks ago. So as Carrot Top did his meet and greet along our row, Stephen slipped him a $5 dollar bill!! He laughed and laughed! It was so funny! Stephen is hilarious!
Tuesday, we jumped on an early flight back home to real life. I will be forever grateful to Stephen for always finding ways for us to connect. This was a much needed relationship refresh!
