We're going to UNLV!

Andrew got accepted into UNLV law program so we decided to go there instead of Penn State. We were really excited to move to Pennsylvania, but all the signs pointed to Las Vegas so, we're going to Vegas! I am way excited to move closer to my family and stay closer to Andrews family, but Pennsylvania would have been so much fun. Andrew and I were ready for an adventure across the US, but I guess Vegas will have it's own adventures. Since we have decided to move to Vegas nothing seems to be working out. I have applied to SOOOO many jobs, and I've had so many interviews, 2nd interviews, and even a 3rd interview, but nothing seems to be working out. Andrew and I have gone down to Vegas two different times to try and find a place to live. We went in June, but it was too early and the places we looked at we didn't really like. We went Last week, and it seems we are a little late. We searched all day and at the end of the day we finally found a condo we really liked. On Monday morning we called the real estate agent to turn in our application and funds, but we were too late. Someone had already applied for the condo earlier in the morning so we lost the condo. We don't have a back up so we are going down later this week to try and find a place. We were suppose to move on the 30th of July, but since it's the 24th and we still haven't found a place I am not sure that will happen. One bright note is Andrew and I get to quit both of our jobs this week. Wednesday is our last day of work, and Thursday is my birthday! Thursday we are going to Vegas to find a place. Andrew starts orientation the 8th of August so we really need to find a place this week so we can move down next week and then Andrew can start school the following week. I should be more nervous about not having a job or a place to live, but I guess I am finally learning some patience. One thing I have learned through this whole process is it doesn't matter how bad you want things to work out, or how hard you try, or pray, if it's not meant to be then its not meant to be. Thats that. There is no need trying to control things out of your control. It's just a waist of time. I know that Andrew and I are doing all we can and it will all work out for the best in the end. Here are some pictures from when Andrew and I went down to Vegas in June. We made the trip our summer Vacation. We stayed in the Vdara hotel (way nice by the way. I highly  recommend it).






We ate at Nacho Daddy's. Best Nachos ever! If you are ever in the Henderson Area I would recommend eating at this place.

The bed in our hotel room. I LOVED THIS BED!!! One day I will have a bed like this. It felt like sleeping on clouds. And the pillows.... AMAZING!
