Go Vegas!

So, Justin took me to see Phantom of the Opera over the weekend. The tickets were a Valentine's gift. It was an amazing experience. I have seen it before and it was interesting to see the Vegas twist they put on the show. There is a lot more sparkle, and drama! It made me wonder. Living in Vegas, there are some things you get used to that are just not normal. Like rollercoasters in the middle of downtown, shiny cars and shiny people everywhere. I visit other places and am reminded that this town is over the top to say the least. It is so amazing how much joy we have found living here, even though we are in the middle of the desert, and slot machines are ringing in our ears. I love our life here. We have such a great ward, and our friends here are the best we have ever had. So here's a shoot out to the cheesiness, the glam, the bling, and the craziness of Vegas, because somewhere in the midst of it all, we have found a great life. Just a few pictures to illustrate the effect Vegas has had on our family!! Ha!
Another thought! I just hired a painter to paint our front room this Saturday. The entire conversation was in Spanish. I repeated myself several times, and I'm not even sure he knows he is supposed to show up on Saturday morning. I'm considering taking bets on whether he shows or not! We'll see!

Love us!
