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!

The CUTEST nieces in the ENTIRE world!

This summer I have been lucky to spend a lot of time with family. With Andrew heading off to law school this fall I have been trying to spend as much time with him as I can before he falls into the black hole of school and I hardly ever get to see him. With that being said we have also been trying to spend a lot of time with family before Andrew starts school and I start working full time. A few weekends ago my mom, my sister Kristine, and her daughter came up to salt lake to spend the weekend with me. We went to my cousin Erika's beauty pageant. My little Niece Alexa is so dang cute! Here are some pictures of her from the weekend.

She is such a little cutie!

Crazy Morning Hair

Isn't she a doll! I just love her. Last week my other niece came up with her mom (my sister in law Marsha) to stay with me. My brother Ben has been living with my in-laws as well this summer since he has an internship in Salt Lake. He lives in Syracuse, New York with is cute daughter Cassidy and wife Marsha (and baby Tiger on the way). Marsha and Cassidy have been staying in Southern Utah with her family during the summer because Marsha has been pretty sick due to her pregnancy, so Ben travels down to St. George every weekend to see them and then drives back to work in Salt Lake during the week. Anyways Marsha and Cassidy came up to stay with us last week and we had a lot of fun. My niece cassidy is such a crazy little girl, and so dang cute! Here are some pictures
