A tourist in the City I was born in

A couple of weeks ago I went on an adventure on the strip with my friend Luisa. It really was a couple of weeks ago, and I'm barely getting around to blogging about it, but I need to document all the crazy and exciting things I did for the first time.

First off, Luisa's Dad works as the head of Security at Cesar's Palace, so Luisa knows her way around a lot of these hotels. I was glad I went with her, because it was a blast and she knew what to do. We went all over, to the water show and the beautiful gardens at the Bellagio (these are my my most favorite of ANTYHING.) I think we walked the entire miracle mile at least three times, and explored many expensive forum shops. We went and got Gelato at the Bellagio, oh my goodness, it was heaven in a small expensive cup!

We saw the Atlantis show at Cesar's, and we walked all over and saw the craziest people! It was great! Here are some pictures of us!

Luisa and I waiting for the Atlantis show to start

One of the shops was this big art gallery that had all these crazy pictures in it.

This painting was called burning the candle at both ends and there were candles IN the frame.

These two were in front of the huge aquarium at Cesar's Palace

I LOVE the water show AND the gardens!

Luisa and I had a great time! Can't wait to do it again!

Update on Life

I don't know if anyone even reads this blog, but I'm going to update on the goings on in my life anyways, because I haven't done that in a long time.

First of all, the only two things I do on a regular basis lately, are 1. Going to work, I work a LOT. And 2. Watch TV. The amount of TV that I watch would probably scare people, and all parents would scorn me.

So 1.) Work's been pretty intense, I work a LOT of hours, and honestly, some of the people at my work drive me INSANE. But, I know I need to learn to live with that, and hey, they can't work there forever right? Maybe all the annoying people will move away.

2) Television. It is a miracle that netflix was invented, because it is so much better than regular tv.

Another thing that I spend a lot of time doing lately is my Church Calling. I just got called to be on the "Heart 2 Heart" committee, it's pretty cool. It's based on the book A heart like His, by Victoria Pearce, it's an amazing book on how to open our hearts to people, and in turn our hearts will be opened to the savior. One of jobs I have is creating and running the Palmhurst Heart to Heart Committee Blog. The address is here: http://palmhurstheart2heartexperiment.blogspot.com/

If you want to learn more about this amazing book, and the experiment our ward is doing to draw closer to each other and the savior.

COOLEST THING I'M DOING: Today I signed up for my first 5K, it's called the Las Vegas Color Run, you run 3.1 miles, and the whole way they throw handfuls of color all over you, it's awesome, here's a picture from last years, imagine that these pictures have me in them, being super cool and awesome. Because that's what it's all about, oh, and getting cool pictures.

SO. ONE MORE THING, PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER!!!!

CALEB OWENS COMES HOME IN FIVE MONTHS. I just want you all to know how exciting this is, Before Caleb left, and we were talking about how hard it was going to be. Truthfully, it was hard in the beginning, but I reached a point where it started to get easier, and now we're in the final stretch. Love this. I will NOT be updating ever day on how many days he has left though. Because there's a girl at my work who does that, and it's driving me insane. So, just so you know, it's coming up, and I'm happy about it. Thanks. :)
