Yeah...it's been a little while since I last updated.  Since then I have moved to fabulous Las Vegas, NV.  I have a lovely apartment that even has a fireplace...strange that apartments in the desert would have fireplaces, but now I have a small mantle to put things on.  It will be nice when we can afford to get dressers and such and can finally unpack all of the tubs in the bedroom.  We have a really nice couch and love seat and one of the sleep number beds, so we do have some furniture.  And the couch is really comfortable so if anyone wants to come for a visit it makes a nice bed. 

  I love my internship; the people are all so nice!  My second week there I already had everyone telling me that they want to keep me.  I really hope a job will open up there when my internship is done because I love the people and I really like working for Cirque.   The costume shop is amazing.  It's nice working at a place where they can basically get anything they want for the shop.  One dress in the show cost more to make than the entire budget for many of the shows I have worked on in the past.  It has gold foiling on it that has been hand applied in a brocade pattern and it gets a little wet around the hem so some of the velvet is rotting (a fact that broke my heart to look at...such a beautiful dress!  However, if it ever gets too bad they will simply throw it to the shredder and get a new one, they shred costumes once they have been deemed unwearable).

Mike and I got to see "O" from the light booth.  It was amazing.  I couldn't believe how talented the people I work with are!  Because we were watching the show from so high up we could see the divers doing some of the scene changes which was neat.  I also got to see Delirium when it was here for a two day stop on its tour.  As part of my internship I will eventually get to see all five of the resident shows in Vegas.  I'm really excited to see them all, but especially Love (the Beatles one)!

Mike is in the process of finding a job.  He had an interview this morning and we are hoping things will go well with that.  I'm sure something will come along soon.

It is absolutely beautiful out here.  I am happier living here than anywhere else I've lived before.  The weather is perfect, even when it's 115 degrees out it really doesn't feel that hot.  There is usually a nice breeze and the lack of humidity makes everything better. 

Working at the Bellaigo is nice.  I love getting to see the fountains go off most evenings.  Sometime next week (I think) they are filming a scene or something for Ocean's 13 in the lobby.  I think I'm going to have to go check it out.  Who knows maybe I will get to see Gorge Clooney or Brad Pitt. 

So basically to sum all of this up, yes I am alive and I am happier than I have been in a while.  The only thing that could make all of this better is if Mike got one of the many jobs he has applied for.

I want to set a date for my wedding.  I want to set a date and keep that date so I can send little cards to people telling them to save that date on their calender to make sure they can be there.  I would like to know where the wedding is going to be held, but for now I would just be really happy with a concrete date.

I got tagged by fossemoves:

I'm not going to pick ten people.  Whoever wants to can be tagged.
