The three of us are now back safe and sound from our trip to Las Vegas. We had an absolutely fabulous time. It took us two days to find an apartment that we finally liked and in the end we had to choose between two that we both really liked and only blocks from eachother. The area we will be living in is a new section of town so everything is new, including our apartment so that will help with our electricity bills. Our apartment complex is called Pacific Islands. The only thing that has us worried is that we never saw a three bedroom apartment. I'm used to having the apartment people showing us apartments that people still live in, but apparently that is not done in NV so they have model apartments to show. So all we ever saw was two bedroom apartment models that had been decorated. So while we were in the model apt we were looking at the floorplan of the bedroom trying too get a feel of the place. We actually don't know if we have the place yet. We are waiting for the results of the credit and criminal check. But I'm not expecting any problems.
Justin visited his work place and we got to meet his co-workers. Everyone that works there are young, even the owners are in their thirties. Apparently, everyone gets along really well and do things outside of work. So Justin came home with an armload of papers to go through from the company. Sarah was able to find a job at a different environmental firm and her boyfriend may beable to get a job there as well working in an area that tests strengths of different materials. I however am a different story. Justin and I went to the Target that I was to be transferring too, I asked to talk to the HP person and ended up talking to her on the phone....while we were both in the same building. Apparently I was not important enough for her to come down from her office. So she quickly let me know that there were no openings and that was it. So now I have no job and my last day is tomorrow (Saturday). Oh well, I didn't want to work for them anymore anyways, it was just a way to get money coming in right away. So I think I'll start looking around on Monster.com and see if there are any cool geology jobs in the area.
The rest of our time was spent relaxing by the pool during the day and going to the Strip at night. I love the Strip. We had such a good time walking the area, we watched the waterfountain at the Bellagio, the Sirens show at Treasure Island, and the Volcano eruption at the Monte Carlo...all free outside shows. The temps were awesome, about 100 degrees everyday.
Well I'm tired, it's been along day. I'll write again soon. We're still trying to get that last minute packing done!
