For the Better....

About two years ago....I took the plunge to move to Las Vegas.... Engaged to a handsome curly haired boy. I was certain, at the time, I would never get used to such a place. Now....as we have packed and moved...I will be forever grateful our first part of married life was in the Land of Casinos.

We will miss the sounds of continuous planes. Date nights of dancing to the radio in a parking lot....Or eating way too much ice cream while watching the airplanes.We will miss movie nights at the discount theater..and picnics in the backyard.We will miss the perfect winters...and monsoon rainstorms.....

Our Father in Heaven always guides us to the places that will help us grow. He always places us at crossroads with a promise.....If we seek Him....He will be our guide and comfort as we continue down the path. He will give us the strength to stand and grow closer to Him.

He knew Vegas was just what I needed.

Sure, we were able to do some incredible things....watch a variety of shows....visit cool sites...and take care of a beautiful home....

Even more though....in our short time there....David and I learned so much about each other...our hopes....goals...and dreams. We both learned that we can do hard things....(Especially David who made it through the trenches of physical therapy school with flying colors!)

Most importantly....we had the chance to meet such incredible people. People who showed us love....support...and friendship. Who took a chance on getting to know such a quirky couple. We will be forever grateful for that love....and for their examples.

I have no doubt that Vegas was the place David and I needed to be.....because it helped to continue to change our hearts.

Because of the people....we leave Vegas changed for the better.


Here are some photos from our last week!

We will miss these two! They will soon be great parents! 

We met up with Sister Davis again! We love her!

Our last night....filled with lots of laughs and great food! We will miss each of them! If ever injured..I would want to be in the same room as these amazing people!

We have loved our Sister missionaries! Perfect pair! 

Sigh....So long Vegas...Sadly..I never grew fond of your summers!

This handsome guy...is finished with classes.

 One more year until he is an official Doctor folks! 

Thanks for the memories!

Provo....here we come!
