Packing

The first box... and my makeshift dresser for the next 4 months or so...


Casey knows something's up. She does the same thing with suitcases.

Moving home!

I can't believe how long it's been! But I've been away from this with good reason. So much has happened in the last few months. On a whim, I applied for a job with the city of Rancho Cucamonga, and I got it. Really, it was as simple as that! I was SHOCKED. I had planned on LOOKING for jobs to MAYBE move home but instead, fate found me. I've very happy, obviously, but a little sad at the same time. It's bittersweet to leave the place where I've become an adult, really. I've spent all of my twenties here, I've made some great friends, and I've had a lot of fun times. But, the time has come for me to go home. My going-away party is on March 29th so I will be sure to post some pictures here!

Top 5 things I will miss most about Vegas:

1. My Bellagio people - you know who you are and you're why I didn't move home 4 years ago. Nuff said.

2. Cherry Hill - I've been going to see them for almost 6 years.

3. My job. I LOVE my job. Even more specifically, I love my team. If I was staying Vegas, I would never leave.

4. My house... probably my biggest (literally!) sacrifice. There will be no 3 bedroom house in California. I will be lucky to get a 3 bedroom condo with 2 roommates!

4. My very short (10 min) commute to work.

5. Traffic updates - there are (3) freeways in Vegas and after they are done with them, they start listing SIDE STREET accidents. In California, I'm lucky if they even mention the freeway that I'm on.


Things I will NOT miss:

1. The incessant WIND.

2. The construction - as I write this, they are tearing up the street outside my window and their light is shining directly toward my house. It's 11:51 p.m.


And when they are done at 5 a.m., the construction on the shopping center behind my house begins. Good times. Thank God for my iPod. P.S. SCREW YOU Momeni & Associates!!! Whew, had to get that out.

3. My electric bill in July.

4. My gas bill in December.

5. The long drive to California!
