With Apologies to Faith Hill ...

Well ... with apologies to Faith Hill ... "Hey baby we're going to Vegas!" My DH decided last night that we'd do it! YIPPEE!!

Later - I thought I should probably explain my ambivalence and how this came to be. When my DH first mentioned this idea of going to Vegas to renew our vows I was decidedly not thrilled. I had 3 thoughts:

• When we were in Vegas in 1990 I decided I NEVER wanted to go back.
• I was entirely SICK of casinos and really didn't like seeing all the people in them who obviously didn't have the money to spend there.
• Also the idea of renewing our vows in Vegas seemed to make a mockery of the whole thing ... after all Las Vegas is "Sin City".

Then I prayed on it and realized that my DH was really honouring me with this idea ... I'm the one who runs and just about everyone I mentioned it to thought it was really romantic. Plus we will stay in a non-casino hotel. Now that we've been selected I really see that it's okay to do this ...

Renewing Vows in Vegas!?!?!

Okay ... here's the deal ... December 4, 2005 is my 20th Wedding anniversary ... that is also the day that the New Las Vegas Marathon is being held.

My DH said we should go to Vegas and I should run the marathon ... now they were also looking for people to get married during the race. And today we got an email today that we've been selected to renew our vows!

Only we both have "to be registered for and running the race" I suggested to DH that he register and just do 8K (at 15 minute per mile pace) so we could do it ... he's not convinced.

I think it'd be a BLAST! The ceremony will be performed live on TV and Elvis will be singing at the wedding ... wish me luck in convincing him!
