Las Vegas!

So last week My husband and I went to las vegas for spring break. We had so much fun, but the best part by far was our visit with my cousin Heidi and her family we went over at about 7 on saturday night and we were there until about 11 I felt bad that we kept them so late but we absolutely loved seeing them. Her family is so amazing and I loved getting to know them again. I also really liked the fountains at the bellagio, it was the last night of our trip andI hadn't seen them yet. Everyone kept telling me I had to see them so after we left Heidi's we went and saw the fountains and they were amazing I am so glad we went because they were beautiful!

Evacuation!!

So today I was evacuated from my home! It was scary I knew i was in no danger but still it was something I never thought would happen to me. There were some workers digging less than a mile away and they hit a natural gas line the whole university of utah campus was evacuated. I left before the fire department came and told me to because knowing me I would have cried when they came because I was home alone and scared so when I saw the firetruck pull up and people start leaving I grabbed water bottles, cell phone chargers, and some food and jumped in my car and left before I could be told not to use my car. I dont know why I grabbed those things because I was not going to the evacuation center at east high but in an emergency those are the things I grabbed along with three coats and 2 hoodies which it wasn't even cold today so I can only assume I was not thinking straight. I went and got Dallin and we went to his aunt and uncles house in north salt lake to wait out the evacuation. they fed us and let us watch the news until the evacuation was lifted around 8. I knew our home would be safe and that we would be fine but still when you are smelling gas that strongly and you are told to leave your home there is a terrible feeling that runs through your body. We are home now and everything is fine but that is one experience that I hope I never have to go through again.

Whats the point...

Would someone please enlighten me on the purpose of St. Patricks day? Becase so far the only things I have come up with are that it is an excuse to inflict physical pain on people, to get drunk, and to throw a beer can at the side of my nice car (which I am still really mad about!!!) all while wearing the color green! oh well thursday I will be in Las Vegas and I CAN'T WAIT!! but if someone could tell me why we celebrate this day please let me know!
