We have lived in Vegas for almost a month now. It's been interesting to live in a new place. One of our favorite places so far is the temple. It is so massive and pretty. The landscaping is particularly beautiful.
On Saturday, August 27 we decided to check out this free aquarium. There were tons of fish and we even saw Ariel the mermaid. Ariel kept kissing all the fish and did some really awesome tricks. I guess mermaids really do exist...
Greg was there too.
On Thursday, September 1 we made a stop at the Bellagio. It was Greg's first time there. He was so excited to check out the water show, but first we looked around the Botanical Gardens. Doesn't this tree look like something out of a Dr. Seuss book???
This looks like a painting doesn't it? Well, it is actually made completely out of flowers. Awesome!
Viva Las Vegas
The amazing fountain show in front of the Bellagio. Pretty impressive. I am amazed that it looks like my hair is blowing in the wind...it was so hot!!!
Here is our home. I am sitting in our living room. We don't have a lot of pictures on the wall. We are still working on that. BUT we do have a nice patio off the living room.
Here is our kitchen with TONS of counter space. We even have a garbage disposal and a dish washer. We're moving up in the world!
This is our bedroom. The best news is we haven't found one spider. We recommend living on the second floor.
We were the most pleased with our bathroom... the bathtub actually drains and we can take HOT showers whenever we want!!! It's like a dream come true!
Here is our patio/balcony. That is Greg's bike that he rides to campus. We really like our place. Come visit!
On Saturday, September 3 we met up with Greg's Gunderson cousins at the Vegas temple. We all did baptisms. I haven't done baptisms since I was 20 years old, (that's seven years ago). We were the only people there so it was especially fun. Afterwards we watched BYU beat Ole Miss! Go Cougs!
On Thursday, September 8 we visited the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory. It was pretty fun, especially since they let us sample some chocolates at the end of the self guided tour! We'll have to go back more often!
Here I am behind the factory, where there is a Botanical Cactus Garden. Yeah, we definitely live in a desert. Since it was in the 100s, we didn't walk around the entire garden.
Greg just keeping it real on the rocks at the Botanical Cactus Garden.
So happy together...
On Saturday, September 10 we met Terry. My brother is serving a mission in California and taught Terry for a few weeks. My brother was pretty devastated when Terry had to move to Vegas. Terry got to Vegas about the same time we did, so we hooked up. We stopped by for a visit and had a great time. Crazy and so cool that we got to meet him.
On Wednesday, September 21 we went to M&M World. Greg had never been. It's on the better end of the strip (if there is one). It is amazing how much money they make off those little candies. They sure are good though.
After walking around a little bit, we watched a free M&M movie in 3D. Greg's first 3D movie...I know, right?? I didn't know that M&M's had so much personality and pizazz.
