So I should be packing right now but I feel like blogging. Its my own personal soap box! Just an update, Harley is fine. I was being just a little neurotic.....She's on antibiotics due to a slightly low white blood count. I have a few extra things I want to add to my list of what I will miss about Vegas:
*My doctor- She is so nice and personable! It will be hard to find another doctor like her. Thankful I'm healthy at the moment, keep my fingers crossed!!
*My favorite radio station- Mark and Mercedes in the Morning on Mix 94.1. Seriously the best morning show ever! If you've listened to it, you know exactly what I am talking about. I am thinking about listening to them online when I'm in SLC....
*24 hour convenience- Everything is open 24 hours (or at least really late) here. Not that I go grocery shopping at midnight, but if I wanted to, I could. If I want to grab a bite to eat really late, I have a choice of where to go.
*My Pug rescue group- I am gonna miss their annual fundraiser "PugORama" which is held just a few weeks after I leave. Everyone dresses up their pugs in Halloween costumes. There are contests and raffles, etc. 200+ pugs show up. I love hanging out with the other neurotic pug owners!!
*My crew at UMC- seriously the coolest group of people I have met here in Vegas. I will miss eating lunch everyday in the cafeteria and gossiping! I will miss Icehouse & Blue Martini & Game Night but probably not the cafeteria food! There are way too many unflattering pictures of me floating around! We are the culturally diverse version of the tv show "Friends." I need to figure a way to market it for the networks in Hollywood.......hmm. I have to give them a lot of credit, for putting up with me during school. I was working full time, going to school and had an internship so I wasn't necessarily in the best mood all the time! I credit my diploma to the patient advocates & my former boss! I won't miss how stressful my job can be at times. Being a social worker in peds & picu, was challenging..... I will not miss getting subpoenaed by the district attorney. I will not miss the CPS cases. I knew being a social worker would be hard, but I really had no idea! I will miss working in a hospital- my favorite nurses, residents, eligiblity workers and ot/pt staff.
I have mixed feelings about leaving. I love the people, hate the weather in the summer. I hate the dryness! I would be happy with a little humidity, it makes for great skin & hair! I'm glad Adam found a job he likes and I'm glad he's getting back into theater which is something he loves. So anyway enough about Vegas (for now)!
We are loading up the moving truck Oct 5th, anyone is welcome to help us! Haha, I will not torture you with helping us move. We will have a BBQ on the 5th around 5 pm (after we are all done!) for those who want to stop by to say good bye and eat with us!
I'm reading the Stephanie Meyer vampire book series.....anyone else reading it? I am so hooked! I heard they are coming out with a movie this year!
I love comments so be sure to tell me what's up!!

Hey Hilari,
When I read what was going on with Harley i first though "diabetes" because Asia had some of those symptoms and the neuropathy of the hind legs was the kicker! I am also a pet "parent", I never think of myself as an "owner". I am tied to Asia's diabetes and care but you know what I love the big lug!!!! All the way to the poor house!
I am working on Sunday but i wish you guys a safe trip and you will find a good job and settle in before you know it. : ) I envy you! There are some great things about Vegas but I don't want to live here the rest of my days.....
I am laughing at your M&M reference. They started their radio show almost the same time i moved here and it was funny to listen to them aclimate to the area the same time I was...
So what is Ranch Pizza?
Yeah! I am so glad you started a blog. You look so pretty in your wedding dress holding Harley. I hope everything with your move goes well. I miss you! Brandi Mitchell
Diane,
You need to try the Garlic Ranch Pizza at Pizza Factory! Its fabulous! The closest one is in St George,its worth the drive! They have these tall, buttery, swirly breadsticks! Yummy cookies too!!
Funny you can invite me to help with the move yet i didn't receive the invite for the BBQ. It may be on the same day but I might have changed my mind if I knew there was free BBQ involved... :)
