Recently I moved my records to a Family ward, it was time for a change. Let's be honest after being in a singles ward for 19 years I think I have earned myself a break. Various things have come to pass that makes me realize the great differences in a singles ward vs. a family ward, and I am not talking about the obvious differences either. However, I will put those stories on hold for a later post.
As soon as I met the Bishop the first question he asked was, "do you like kids"? My response, "yes, I like kids I have 12 nieces and nephews, I'm a very proud Aunt". So my realization of a calling in Primary was pretty clear. However, to my great surprise when the 1st Counselor extended the calling for the "Unemployment Specialist" and expressed to me that the Bishop felt great inspiration for me to be in this calling I realized one of two things...
1. I will be losing my job once again and the Lord is preparing me.
or
2. The Lord had purpose and reason behind those many difficult years of struggling through finding the right job, interviewing, re-doing the resume, and searching the Internet for just the right position.
I would like to thing option 2 is the reason, as I don't want to lose my job. :) Either way I was nervous but I accepted the calling last night and I am actually looking forward to seeing what I can do to help and assist other where I feel like I am a pro. Okay...maybe not a pro...but I definitely have experience.

What happens in Vegas...Stays in Vegas
Whoever came up with the saying, "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas" is brilliant. What a perfect slogan for Vegas. Not that it applies to everyone that goes to Vegas, but it's still a brilliant slogan.
Last week I was given Nevada as part of my territory for work. It's are first store in the area and it was fun to go meet my new team and train them. I had two good days of training and then I connected with an old childhood friend, Kim.
Kim and Kevin (her husband) live in Las Vegas with their three cute kids. Kevin has a practice there and Kim graduated with her nursing degree about two years ago. It was so fun catching up with Kim and just playing around. They recently put a pool in the backyard and we spent some of our time soaking in the pool while the sun kissed us with it's rays. Due to it being Vegas you can always find someone that works down on the Stripe. Sure enough Kevin and Kim have a friend in their ward that is a "Pit Boss" and gave us free buffet tickets to "Hard Rock". It was so yummy! We ate and ate and ate. It was the best buffet I have ever been to and the freshly made crepes on the dessert table was to die for.
The best part was catching up with Kim and feeling her amazing spirit that shines through her. Thanks Kim for giving the best weekend that was well needed!

4th of July Weekend
For the 4th of July my roommate, Tina and I went to Santa Monica to cool down for the heat of Az. We had a great time and my favorite part was renting bikes for 24 hours and "Pinkberry". I hope these pictures come through, thanks Tina.
