Two years ago

I was thinking today about how much my life has changed in 2 years. Two years ago I was still living in Switzerland enjoying beautiful (freezing) Zurich...

playing with two adorable kids...

taking weekend trips to Geneva...

and looking like this...

Now I'm just living in Vegas and working...how fun is that?! :) I'm just kiddin, I have a great life! But it was a little more exciting 2 years ago :)

I need help...

You saw my "resolutions" for the year in my other blog but I need some help on the health goals. I need some ideas for healthy snacks and some healthy meals. I also need to know if anyone knows the best workouts that are good for toning and stuff like that. I just don't know what the best exercises are, you know, the ones that make the most difference. I just want to know what you guys have had the most success with. So fire away!!!

President Hinckley

I will miss President Hinckley so much, but when I look at this picture of him and his daughter at Sis. Hinckley's funeral a lump comes to my throut and I feel selfish for ever wanting him to be here with us instead of with his wonderful wife. Of course we will all miss him but at least they are together now and I know that we will see him again and that the Lord continues to guide this church.

New Year

I didn't want to do this this year but I decided that I needed to organize and write down the things I want to accompish over the coming year. So here goes...

2. Learn how to cook at least 7 healthy meals

Viva Las Vegas

So I'm finally updating my blog...sorry it's been awhile. So I moved to Vegas a week and a half ago and everything is going great. I love my roommates, no drama yet which I am happy to report. I love having people to hang out with at all times and in all things and in all places :) I love where we live too. We live in Summerlin which is the Northwest part of Vegas and there are tons of shopping centers and restaurants and things to do. We are also close enough to the Strip to go down and hang out if we wanted. It's still really weird to think that I'm living in Vegas. The weather is great! A little cold at night but I will take it over Utah in heartbeat. My job is going good. I actually have my first day on my own tomorrow. The company I work for is owned by a Jewish family so we don't get the regular holidays off but we get a ton of Jewish holidays off which is ok. I'm working as a receptionist so it's not too difficult but every job is kind of hard when you first start...you know?! I'm a little nervous about tomorrow since I've only trained for three days and I have to be completely on my own. Pray for me! The ward seems really good. The bishop is fun, we went to the UNLV BYU basketball game with him and his daughter last week. It was fun but don't ask about the game. So other then that everything is the same :) I'm reading the Twilight books right now, I'm on the 3rd one, so I'm going to go read...I'll write more soon!

Boys Club

So I was talking to Cassidy today and I was telling her about my work and I realized this was worth sharing with all of you. My work is a total boys club. We have one lady that is in the Senior Staff out of about 10-15 guys. All the guys are pretty young like early 40's probably. So there is a trend at work that they all wear these ugly (they don't think they are, but they are) shirts. We're casual at work so we're allowed to wear jeans but I think this is the way these guys choose to feel dressed up but casual at the same time. I will put a few examples up here so you can see what they wear. Not these exact shirts, but I would not be surprised in the LEAST if I saw them floating around with the rest of the ugly shirts. It's like they all try to outdo each other and they all want to be super trendy. They all wear faded jeans and really trendy shoes too. It's just a little weird. Oh, and they all wear them untucked like this too. What do you think? Is this just weird to me?
