Las Vegas

I arrived in Las Vegas surprisingly in one piece and Luke made it to Tucson! What a hectic flight we had, it is nothing short of miraculous that we made our flights from Denver to Tucson/Las Vegas! My trip to Las Vegas was good. It was great being able to see family again except for the fact that you really realize how much you miss them when you are there with them. I got to eat a lot of great food, well maybe not great food, just plain old fast food, which was great to me since I don't get it anymore in Germany. I think Kyle had thought I went crazy when i kept talking about Del Taco like it was the best thing ever! Well Kyle put up with my craziness rather well even though he doesn't understand what is so fascinating about fast food and my old work and the fact that I am horrible at taking night pictures.
I had a chance to go out to eat with my good friend Pam who i hadn't seen in forever. That was a blast and makes me miss going out for sushi and just having a friend to talk to who knew me before I got married. I got to go and see people from the Las Vegas Valley Humane Society which probably made my whole trip. It was my top thing to do while I was in Las Vegas, although it was probably the worst thing to do because it made me so sad. I think that volunteering with them was one of the best decisions I have made and i miss it and the amazing people so much. What else, what else...I did a lot of shopping. It wasn't so great though because i was Christmas shopping so I had to shop for other people and not myself, even though I did cheat a little and got some clothes.
It was amazing how fast the time flew by, one week felt like just a day when I look back. There was not enough time to do everything but I think i did all i really wanted in Vegas. I did realize that no matter were I am Vegas is home, it is my favorite place to be (even with the heat!).



This is just a picture I took out of the window while we were driving in traffic. Which is another thing i miss, traffic! These were more for the benefit of our German friends who haven't been to Las Vegas. I will post more pictures when my lazy brother decides to email the pictures from his camera!
