- The roads- I seriously think every state should redo their roads and really consider the grid system that is used in Utah. It works people!! Here, you can be on a road with one name and then all of a sudden it turns into another street. Weird.
- The cars- The vehicles here are disgusting, I've seen an expedition that had the front jacked up but the back lowered and almost touching the ground, I've seen so many gross Vans with black tinted windows and nice rims, and the kicker was the one I saw last week that was a big white van with tinted windows and on the back it said "child care" with a phone number. I'm not sure it's the best way to promote child care on a white molester looking van.
- People are redonkulous about personalized license plates here, the next time you are here or just driving through, count how many you see cause they are everywhere!!
-There is Road Construction everywhere you look and the I-15 going past the strip is the worst place to drive ever!!
So there is a list of my must goes in Vegas, I should probably list all the porn and stuff everywhere too huh? Who wants to see that?? Maybe don't answer that question.
I do have a list of likes though too:
-My ward and everyone at my church is really awesome, everyone has been really cool and I keep getting phone calls from people asking if I'm still looking for a job and if I want to go to dinner with them. Way awesome.
-I really like everyone that I work with at Great Harvest. I've made friends and am able to be myself and relax at work, all while eating delicious snacks.
- I can't say enough about the weather, it's my first not white, dreary, frickin freezing christmas and I have nothing but good things to say!! I know I know just wait until summer is what everyone keeps telling me, but I've come to find that I am one of those people that would rather be too hot than freezing cold. Besides, being too warm is fixable, you just go and jump in the pool, and yes I have one to jump into:)
- It's been so fun living with my cousin, we have the best time ever.
- My brother and his family living so close has been the best thing for me.
- I love my house, my neighborhood and the location.
See so the good list far outweighs the bad, which means I'm the most positive person on the earth:)
You like not having snow at Christmas!? That's just crazy talk! I hate the snow on the road, but It's so beautiful! I guess I'm a Montana girl and we have winter 9 months out of the year there so I was kinda forced to love it at an early age :-)Also, if you remember our construction here isn't much better. Road construction is the worst!! We miss you up here in Salt Lake though pal. Luv ya!
ReplyDeleteWay to be positive sister! Can't wait to see you....if we can ever get you back to Idaho!
ReplyDeleteLOVE YA NIC.....WISH YOU WERE IN IDAHO RIGHT NOW!!! BUT I AM GLAD THAT YOU ARE BEING SOOOOOO POSITIVE :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Vegas roads sound alot like the ones in Anchorage. At first its really hopeful "alright....there's 4th street, 5th street, Minnesota, C street, Tudor, Northern Lights....!!!!???" Whhhaaa?
ReplyDeleteI want to say though that you have inspired me. Yes, you have. I am really struggling with the whole moving back to UT business because i hate change and uncertinty, searching for a new job, ect. But there you are trying new things, places, meeting new people, job(s)? But you rock, and I miss you.
