Hi there Ladays! So, tons is going on here in the big CA. After two weeks of job hunting, I’ve decided to move to Las Vegas and become a dancer!! I’ll be taking classes at LVU (Las Vegas University) and waitressing at night. HAHAHA!! GOTCHA!! Just kidding. That’s back-up plan D. Okay, so I am really moving to Nevada and will be living 10 minutes away from the strip on the edge of a golf-course in a swanky (feels like a four diamond resort after Hayes Community!) apartment with one of the girls I went to school with (fondly referred to heretoafter as J-Lo).

I have two very promising interviews on Wednesday, so will be getting there on Tuesday night. We can’t move in to the apartment until Thursday, however, so I’ll just be camping out in my car in a parking garage to save money. Or, perhaps get a hotel room.

I’M SO EXCITED!!!!

My interviews are at Renoir in The Mirage and Bouchon Bistro in The Venetian. Both very exciting and renowned restaurants–it should be interesting to see how things work in humongous hotels like these!

Our apartment is so hot. I’m just as excited about living in this apartment as I am about these new career opportunities! It’s a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment with a living room, washer & dryer, kitchen with gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, disposal, etc. We have a real, working fireplace in the living room!! And two 24-hour swimming pools (one is laguna shape and the other is for doing laps) (not in the living room, but outside our front door).

There are also three spas (including a sauna), a workout room and a gym with lots of machines and full length mirrors, and a mini movie theater that you can reserve and have a party in with all of your friends! We have several walk-in closets, a roman tub, a little patio, covered garage and storage room! It feels like heaven!

Plus, it doesn’t really look like your run-of-the-mill cheezie apartment complex–it’s by a golf course and there are palm trees all around it, it’s sort of Spanish stucco style with a red tile roof. And, the real bonus is that it was built before they made the 30% Green Law (which says that only 30% of any property can have green vegetation because of the water shortage in the area), so our property is 70% green!!! Its not the typical Vegas Rocks scene–we have trees and grass! Ding!!

We don’t actually have any furniture or any money to buy any yet (Sin City may seem glamorous, but the pay is not all that fabulous), but I’m sure after we get our second jobs we’ll be able to afford some. OH! And that’s the other thing–rent is TOTALLY cheap!! It’s only costing each of us $400 a month to live here!! That’s at least $500 cheaper than any dinko one bedroom apartment in San Francisco–so it won’t be as stressful as living in the SF.

I like that we’ll be a little outside of the city too–since we’ll be in that craziness all day and all night, it will be nice to get away from it when we get a chance to go home. I can’t wait for you all to come visit!!! There’s plenty of room (as long as we don’t get furniture any time soon) for you ALL to come visit at once!! IMAGINE THE EXCITEMENT, LADIES!!! So much fun. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Hope you’re all well and happy and enjoying summerish weather where you are! Please come visit soon, I don’t know a single person in this new town and I miss you all desperately!!

Oh! And here are the pictures from Daiquiri Night at Caitlin and Luis’.
