Alisha's view of the move

So we are actually here in Henderson Nevada, our new home for the next four years. It has not quite hit me yet that I won't being going back to Utah for awhile even though all my stuff is here. We are adjusting pretty well, Leila has decided to wake up around 6 now (she use to wake up between 8 and 9), the sun comes up so much earlier here. In less then a week Leila went from hating the pool to loving it. We go to the pool almost every day. We have spent most of our days trying to get the house put back together we still have a little bit more to do but it is basically all done. It is really hot here we stay inside most days, I thought the wind would cool it off but I think it does the opposite it just gets hotter, I hate going out when it is windy it feels like the hottest air is just blowing on you it sucks really bad. One of the things I really miss is the cool summer nights cause it does not even get to slightly comfortable at night here it still like 97 degrees right now at 11 pm, so again we stay inside. I posted a bunch of pictures of our house sorry there are so many. Our living and dining room, but it is kind of empty because we don't have a dining room table Our family room, not a great picture it is actually bigger then this picture lets on Our Kitchen, it has lots of cupboard space and a big pantry

The master bathroom, it is gigantic compared to my last bathroom Our huge walk in closet, again gigantic compared to our last closet Master bedroom, this room stays cooler then any other room in the house it is sooo nice

So the last couple of years my birthday has always been at a difficult time, we were either studying for finals or Paul was studying for the MCAT. This year Paul wanted to make it really special. So he surprised me with tickets to see the Cirque Du Solei (sp?) Mystere show, and luckily his brother was in town for business and was able to watch Leila for us. The show was so cool, the acrobatics and stunts were amazing I loved the show. We also went to dinner, we were going to try Mesa Grill but it was super expensive and we decided we would just go to the cheesecake factory which was a good choice because it was national cheesecake day and all cheesecake was $1.50. I got the banana cheesecake and I highly recommend it, it was surprisingly delicious. Then on Saturday Paul took me out for breakfast I have definitely been spoiled. Thanks Paul for a great birthday!

Anyways back to our new home, we really love it here (so far). We miss all of our friends and family, it is really different not seeing everyone and a regular basis I guess we will get use to it. We would love to have visitors so anytime you want to visit you are welcome.
