Vegas baby! And Other Stuff...

A lot has happened in the last few weeks. The weekend before Shannon's wedding I had the opportunity to take a trip to Las Vegas with one of my good friends from high school, Jessica Salmond! this was our first real vacation together and it turned out great. It was so nice to be able to spend some quality girl time together and catch up on each others lives. It was almost like we had never been apart.

Nothing was really planned and we both liked it that way. My favorite part was shopping for a dress and accessories to wear to a club on the strip. We debated between the TAO and the new Marque club at the Cosmopolitan. We chose the TAO deciding chances of getting into the club without having to wait in line too long was the best choice. how right we were! We basically got right into the club. There were two areas for lines and we were sent into one where there was no one else. Not quite sure why that happened but I wasn't going to complain about it. I was super excited to dance, I love it although I am certainly not very good at it. Shortly into our adventure we met these three really awesome sisters. They were there celebrating one of the girls 21st birthday. They were very friendly and we all got along amiably. We spent most of the night with them dancing and talking. A guy also bought me a drink, virgin of course. He was a little shocked when he found out I didn't drink. Overall, it was a fabulous evening and a good experience.

Jessie and I also went to the aquarium at Mandalay Bay. It cost a little bit of money, but neither of us had been to one before and figured why not. It was interesting and I enjoyed it. I would have loved it if the price had been a bit cheaper. We went into the Luxor, MGM, the Cosmopolitan, and a couple other casinos. They were all really quite neat inside. The M&M factory and the Coke factory were both cool, but very crowded. The Coke factory had a travel the world soda sampling dealio that was really quite fun. There were some really good and not so good ones. my taste buds were jumping all over the place after that. Mmmm tasty!

Update on my new job. I finally found out yesterday (8/8, yeah I started this post 7/29 and just am now finishing it!) what school I am going to! It is called Pioneer Valley Elementary and it is in Spanaway Washington. I think I may have also found an apartment in Puyallup. It will be about a 25 minute commute, but I think the location will be worth it. It will be close to the freeway and thus Tacoma, shopping, and fine dining. I faxed my application today so hopefully that will work out. i also found out about a training for my job and then a dinner opening social for EBS. I am pretty excited for both of them. I love learning and doing new things. I am starting to get very excited and slightly nervous.

As for moving, I found out that a Uhaul would cost me about $800 and a thingy to pull my car on would be $300. There was no way in heaven I was going to pay that much money. Especially because I don't have that much furniture. Therefore, I decided that I would just pack up my stuff in my little car Betty, try to find a friend to go with me, drive up to Washington, buy furniture there, play a little in Seattle, then fly my friend home. We shall see how this little plan turns out. I am going on almost blind faith here that everything will work out well. Everything so far feels right so it must be the thing to do! I just wish sometimes that it wasn't going to be so very far away. Anyway, that is the important stuff I think.

Until next time!
