Vegas Baby


The last few weeks in a nutshell.

From sunflowers to butterflies, we are learning all about life cycles.

Shenanigans at Hoover Dam 

Away from Las Vegas about an hour, close to a ghost town that I found while exploring with my good friend Kelsey!

I had the wonderful opportunity to have Sarah as a roommate during my time in Vegas. She is married and through unfortunate circumstances had to be a part from her husband. I love Sarah! She kept me organized (or tried to atleast) and listen to my woes of the dating scene in Vegas.


I had to. Everyone was embarrassed, but I had to be a cheesy tourist.




Midnight steak and eggs at South Point for 5.00




I have had some incredible high's and some awful lows, which include:

  • Playing Cards Against Humanity with new friends
  • Going to a Dan + Shay concert 
  • Walking down the strip and looking at all the lights
  • Accepting my job offer in Draper!
  • Exploring with Kelsey, always in pursuit of the stars
  • Roadtrippin' to AZ and riding horses with my good friend Mikaela Gist
  • Going to Disneyland with my old roommate Taylor! ( who should totally move to Draper Utah with me... hint hint)
  • Helping my little second graders learn and become more prepared for third grade
  • Going to the casino on Tuesdays and watching the latest released movies for 5.00
  • Chipotle
  • Ultimate frisbee at the Silverado Park on Saturday
  • Going to the temple with friends
  • Trying different flavors of Blue Bell ice cream from Winco with Sarah
  • Legit Chinese food from China town ( So legit the guy didn't speak English and I brought out trusty Pleco and lots of pointing)
Along with the fun times there were also some bad times...

  • Getting my car towed for the first time in my life 
  • Some awkward dates...
  • The heattttttt
  • Being observed by my supervisor that no one liked...
  • Freaking out about finding a job
  • Deciding which job to take which would determine my future...
  • Getting into my car and burning my hand on the steering wheel from the heat
Overall it has been great and I am glad that I was able to live in Las Vegas for a few months! Now off to find another adventure.

I will be home for a few weeks then I am heading down to Zion National Park to work for the summer! I am so so so excited. Then in August I will move to Draper so I can get ready to be a first grade teacher at Draper Elementary!
