I'll start my post the same as everyone-it's been a couple of busy weeks!! Last week Kevin & I went to Las Vegas with my brothers and their wives. We had a nice relaxing time. Spent a lot of time in the spa and at the pool. When I say spa I don't mean the treatments you have done, I couldn't afford that! LOL I mean a day pass for the fitness area and the "spa" which has hot tubs, steam rooms, lounge areas. I had never done that before, but my older brother always does so I thought I would try it. The first day we went to Bellagio. I went to the fitness center first where all the machines had personal tv's and headphones. So I started running watching the Today show. I was starting to get hot and winded when I look up and see this girl walking around handing out cold clothes to us. I was like wow this is awesome. I spent the rest of the morning in the jacuzzi tubs, steam room, and lounge area. The next day we went to Caesar's spa. OMG is all I can say. After I worked out they gave me the tour of the spa part & it had a amazing jacuzzi room with 4 body temp tubs, 1 hot hot tub with foam & a waterfall, and a cool down tub with a waterfall. They had these heated rock lounge chairs to lay in and rest. Then they had a herbal steam room, & sauna. Then when you were done with that they had a room you go in that's cold and snows on you to cool you down! It was the coolest thing ever! I can't even describe how cool it was!! Other than the spa's we layed by the pool a lot, shopped a bit and ate ate ate!!! It was a great trip till we hit Indy airport and they lost my luggage. I did get it the next day so all is well!
Relay for LifeWhen we got back I had one day to get ready for Relay for Life. It was a amazing weekend. Our team raised 17,200!! Way above and beyond any one's imagination. Obviously we won 1st place in raising funds. At closing ceremony they played a slide show of Andrea which was VERY emotional, and had such nice things to say about her. Jeff Boes presented the New Andrea Boes 24hr Spirit Award, which our team won so it was presented to Kristin & I. That was really hard. I know we made her proud, but it doesn't take away from missing her so much. We had a great turn out for Team Andrea as you can see below. Can't wait till next year!

Wow is all I can say about your spa trip! I'm completely jealous! First you get your workout in and then you get to rest and relax and be completely pampered, I'd take it! Hey that would probably motivate me to exercise more...humm...I might have to look into that, haha.
It was great to see you on Friday. I really feel that Team Andrea represented what the Relay for Life is truly all about. And a lot of the things you guys did, I'm sure Andrea was cracking up! I looked at the pictures you took, Stephanie sent them my way and they were wonderful. Seems like it was such a wonderful and emotional weekend all wrapped into one. I'm proud of you guys (even the nerd that had his butt crack showing with a poo stain on his britches!)
