Greek Food Festival

Every year, Las Vegas has an amazing Greek food festival. This year, I finally decided to go with some friends. The food was delicious! They even had live bands and tons of people doing Greek dances. We took a tour of their church, which was gorgeous. We even got some baklava in various flavors to go! I have some more pictures, but I can't find them, so here are the ones I have...

Roommate's Birthday Party

So, early in October, my roommate, Savanah, decided to have her birthday at Lucky Strike, a club/bowling alley. It was pretty fun. She's the youngest in our house, so a lot of the people there were pretty young. Here's some pictures...

My Office

Since I spend most of my time there, I thought you might want to see what my office looks like.
My official title is Special Education Instructional Facilitator. SSS Facilitator stands for Student Support Services (the title for special education in Clark County.) I'm glad I finally found a place to hang my quilt. The rest of the pictures are mostly Asian, because I love all things Asian!

M.I.A.

So, for those of you who think I've gone MIA, I haven't. School has just started and I've been super busy. I'm hoping after a few weeks, things will calm down. Yesterday was the first day of school and I can't believe I survived. It was crazy busy and a million things went wrong, but today was much better. I also started more Masters classes at UNLV today. Well, I'm about ready to fall into bed, so until next time...

Cheri and me...

I love having visitors in town. I get to go do all sorts of fun stuff. Cheri and I went all over the strip, including going up in the Paris Hotel Eiffel Tower and watching the fountains at Belaggio. We also went to the Ethel M. Chocolate factory and toured the cactus gardens. To top it all off, Monday night we went to see Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian and then ran across the street to see a Cirque du Soliel show, Mystere, at Treasure Island the same night. This was the second time I've seen Phantom since moving to Vegas, but I love it! Mystere was the most amazing thing I've ever seen, combining comedy, dance and acrobatics. Both performances were absolutely amazing and I can't wait to go to more shows!!

For some reason, Cheri fell in love with the short, squat palm trees and just had to have a picture with one!
You can't come to Vegas without playing a slot or two. Cheri was really excited to play the Wheel of Fortune one, until she found out that you didn't actually compete against the other players!

Visitors

I have had a lot of visitors this past weekend. Cheri came into town and stayed for 4 days and Bill and family stopped by last Saturday for a little visit. Here's a few pictures. Even though Bill could only stay for a few minutes, it was nice to see them all.

Breaking Dawn

Like the devoted fan I am, I went to the midnight release party for Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in the twilight series. I have already finished reading it, and it is awesome! My roommate, Savannah, and I went to check out a few of the bookstore parties before finally staying at Borders. Barnes and Noble here was hosting a twilight prom, so half the people were dressed in their prom best. It was really interesting. We had the most fun just people watching, especially reading all the crazy t-shirts! Some were very funny (Edward makes me sparkle!) while others were just grammatically incorrect (I run with vampire). I am already looking forward to rereading the series!
I know the picture is blurry, but I was trying to be sneaky and use my camera phone. This was at the Barnes and Noble twilight prom.
