08.30.2014: Thereisa's 50th Birthday Party

Brian Greene planned a big birthday party at the Talking Stick Resort & Casino to celebrate Thereisa's 50th birthday this weekend!  He reserved a big suite at the resort to have the party in so all her family and some friends could come.  We brought in the food and alcohol and had a full service party right there in the room.  Since we live right down the street we didn't get a room there...but spent the ENTIRE night there celebrating with them.  It was SOOOOO much fun!  Thereisa's family is a blast.  Her kids were there and her mom, sister, niece and nephew...and some special friends that she has known forever...and of course us ;)
 
We spent the entire evening in the room hanging out with them and getting to know them all.  Again, soooooo much fun!!!  Brian did such a great job putting it all together and getting everyone out to celebrate.
 
After the party kinda ended, everyone headed to the casino to do a little gambling.  I was HOT (or so I thought) on a machine and won about $500....cashed it out and gave it to Vince to fund his gambling for the evening.  He sat down at the machine next to me and started winning too.  He won $3,200 on a jackpot!!  Brian sat down next to him and immediately won $700.  Vince won another jackpot...just a couple hundred.  In amazement, we ran those machines dry and got up to find some new ones.  Vince sat down at a quarter machine and on the second spin won another $2,200!!!  WHAT?!!!?  We were kinda in shock.  We gambled a little more, not spending much though...went back to the room to brag to the group....then headed home.  It was 3am by this time and when we got home I dumped all the money out of my purse to see what we had left. We came home with just over $6,000.  WOW.  Happy Birthday Thereisa....and Happy Winning Day to us!!!  Crazy.
