The Vegas Life

Yes, I know. I am horrible at blogging, and I am sorry. However, I am loving Las Vegas. There are good points and bad points, but as a whole I am doing well. Nothing too exciting has happened, just teaching and living.

I love my school. I thought I would hate middle school and everyone prepared me for the worst. I LOVE it! My middle schoolers are a blast and they make me laugh everyday! They are just so much fun and I love teaching them. I am definitely enjoying being a middle school teacher.

Las Vegas is completely different than any other place I've ever lived. It has been a little rough adjusting. I miss Southerners. I miss the "personal connections" you can make with complete strangers, back home. I miss the sense of southern hospitality.

It is also very brown here. Don't get me wrong, Vegas is beautiful. I love driving up over a hill and being able to see the city lights and the Strip from miles and miles away. It is beautiful! And the mountains and desert are gorgeous too. However, it's too brown here. There is not enough green. I want grass! The front lawns here don't have grass, they have rocks. Rocks! Rock front yards. Some people have turf. It's insane. But like I said, still beautiful in its own right.

I just received a calling the other day and I'm excited to get involved with my ward and meet new people. So I'll keep you posted on how that goes!
