The Pants really ARE magic!

So it's Sunday night in Vegas, Court and I decided to stay an extra night to avoid traffic home. Missy's flight doesn't leave until 10:00pm and everyone else is packed and off to the airport mid-afternoon. So...off to the casino. Over the weekend, we played "our numbers" which hit time and time again...slots were fruitful too, Missy took 1 pull of a penny slot and won $125 off the bat, Court followed with similar results. So we figured, we have the magic of the pants on our side now, we're going home rich! Well, we soon realized that, much to our dismay, that the magic had left the building. We lost, over and over again. Now in Vegas, there are winning times and losing times, but this was all too coincidental. Shelby had left the building, and so had the pants and once we realized that, we headed back up to our room. We didn't go home rich with money, but with a weekend rich with memories. It couldn't have been better...9 girls in Vegas, none with an agenda other than to be with each other and celebrate our friend Shelby. I hear about people who have these wonderful Vegas experiences, but I usually come home with smoke filled clothes and lighter pockets. Not this time, when I got home I realized that I didn't even remember the casinos feeling smoky or feeling "done" with Vegas, I just had an overwhelming feeling of happiness that I spent the weekend in the presence of such great girlfriends. Whether the pants have magic, or it is simply the magic of girlfriend power, it doesn't matter to me...I'm just looking forward to seeing what comes our way next!
