AfterShock Seven

I love supporting the people I love, because I expect the same in return, so I'm writing to help support my Aunt's boyfriend's band AfterShock Seven. They are based in San Diego, and are a dance variety band that perform at amazing venues like Barfly La Jolla. They have an upcoming show there tomorrow starting at 8 PM, and I am also having my going away party there. I'm excited to spend time with my friends and family tomorrow and dance the night away to classics and new hit songs played by AfterShock Seven. They are trying to get to 10,000 hits on their website by today so if you could please go to http://www.aftershockseven.com/ and check them out!!

Here is a video of them at the venue they will also be playing at tomorrow! So awesome!!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow night, and if you want to also check them out live make sure to be at Barfly La Jolla at 8 PM tomorrow night!!

Not Invincible

Not Invincible
By Stacy Haynes
You may think you’re invincible, but you are not.
Neither is the person that might not live,
if you hit them from being so reckless.
Careless driving only means that you care less.
What would you do if one of your loved ones was hit
by a person who didn’t really get it.
Someone who got distracted while driving,
by something as little as a text, or just not paying attention.
Be careful what you do, because it impacts your future.
Always remember that you could have more.
Those dreams that you have, aren’t they worth something?
Well that person you killed while driving reckless dreamt of having everything.
Think of these things whenever you get into your car,
and you will be closer to getting far in life.

City of Sin

I got back from Vegas yesterday and I am happy to say that my first Las Vegas experience was great! I went with 3 of my close friends, Bryanna, Brittney, and Jessica and it was the perfect dynamic. We all got along really well and ultimately had a blast. We drove up Friday and got there pretty fast it seemed. The drive in I was so anxious and I was anticipating what fun we were going to have. I loved looking at all of the billboards and buildings... it is truly a magnificent place. We stayed at The Venetian Hotel and it was beautiful! Our friend Amber was on her way to Italy so she couldn't make it to Vegas with us but I told Jess to tell her that I was pretending we were in Italy since we were at the Venetian. I'm so dorky sometimes, but hey I love to make things even more magical than they already are.



Part Of The Venetian Hotel in Vegas.. That place is HUGE

That night we ate dinner at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill and the food was okay, but the service was horrible. I hope it isn't always like that, but our waitress disappeared after taking our order and when I am starving I am not a happy camper. I did like the fact that everytime they play Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar" they give out free shots.

After dinner we went back and did the usual primping before walking the longest walk to Eva Longoria's Eve Nightclub which I had a blast at. It was Britney Spears concert ticket giveaway night but none of us won unfortunately. I really liked how it wasn't overly crowded and I could actually dance without touching random people. It was a great first night in Vegas.

Saturday we ate at Sugar Factory and I highly recommend this place! The drinks were amazing, the food was great, and who doesn't love a place with tons of sugar to offer. Kind of pricey, but totally worth it in my opinion.

At Sugar Factory with our huge Lollipop goblet drink... so good!
After dinner we went and got ready to head to Tao, the club inside of our hotel. We made it a point to get on the guest list, but missed open bar because we take forever to get ready. I think the club was really pretty and could have been fun, but it was so extremely packed. I don't know if it was because Karina Smirnoff was hosting it that night, but it was way too uncomfortable. We couldn't even dance because we felt like sardines in a can. Not cool. Next time we will pay to get a table because it just wasn't worth it to stand in there and be miserable, so we left. Saturday ended up being the craziest night and we didn't go to sleep until around 6 in the morning. True Vegas style right there!

Overall it was a blast and I can't wait to go back! I decided I want to stay in all of the different nice hotels just so I can pick my favorite. Until next time Vegas, thanks for the memories :)

Silently Freaking Out

Today is June 1st, and that means I have just one month, 30 days, until I move to Arizona! When people ask me what I think about moving I always answer "I'm excited!" just to make it seem that I am stronger than I really am. The truth? I'm freaking the freak out on the inside. I literally have random panic attacks where I think of all the stuff I still need to do, because I want this move to go flawlessly. I also have been neglecting the fact that I am even moving, and have not done anything that I need to do to get ready for it.

Well I guess all of this moving stuff will have to wait until next Tuesday because I'm going to Vegas this weekend with some girlfriends and I want to have a fabulous time and not stress about anything! So here's to more procrastinating :)

xoxo,
Stacy
