Seven

We pulled into Vegas 7 years ago today ... on a rainy Friday night in November.
I was really nervous about moving here, for a lot of reasons.

Mainly, I was nervous about raising a family here.

I'm not nervous anymore.

Not even a little.

We had no idea what to expect when we moved here.

We thought we'd live here maybe a year or two ... tops.

We were wrong.

We're actually wrong quite a bit.

It doesn't matter though.

We're happy.

There is so much beauty to be found here in Vegas ...

... you just have to look for it.

We've seen some incredible things and have met some incredible people in the 7 years we've lived here.

It has been unexpectedly pleasant.

Besides ... life will always be what you make of it.

Today's highlight, the frog we practically sent into cardiac arrest while our girls hovered over it arguing, "You touch it!", "No YOU touch it!", "No YOU touch it!"  Look at him sweating over their indecision.  Take your time ladies ... I don't think he's going anywhere.

Congrats on 7 years. I always tell people, "I could do without Vegas. But the people in Vegas made Vegas great." Miss you.

This looks like a fun place to hike around where was it at?

Happy 7th Vegas Anniversary! We met some pretty incredible people there too! Some things I miss about it and others I don't! I guess that's how life is too! Your adorable family tops the "miss list" though! Happy hiking! :)

You are SO right! (I don't believe for a minute that you are ever wrong ;)) Life IS what you make it and it makes me happy that the Pryor family is happy!

Sweet post! We too ended up where we are quite by surprise, have been here just about seven years, and we love it. Can't imagine being any where else. More beautiful pics, as always...
