Oh! Hello! Welcome to my new personal blog! Well, first of all let me just say "Thanks" to those three of you people who are actually reading it. I'm not sure yet exactly what my blog is going to cover, but I imagine it to be mostly a collection of my random thoughts, re-telling of interesting/funny stories or events and a way for my family back home to know what's going on in my life. So let's get started, shall we? I'd like to introduce you to my roommates, as they will likely be brought up quite a bit in my posts.

These are my roommates, (and best friends in my current home of Las Vegas), minus one who I still need a picture of. My roommates are my favorite part of Vegas and I can't even believe I was lucky enough to find three girls I get along so well with, have loads of fun with, yet can also have great serious conversations with and confide in.

Candace is the brunette. She's from Texas, has a great silly sense of humor, talks a million miles a minute, and doesn't put up with anyone's crap. "She'd be a great mother, your honor. Kid wouldn't get away with sh@$"-- Amy Poehler on Baby Mama

Lindsay is the blonde. She's from Southern California, is one of the weirdest girls I've ever met, but is also one of the most fun. She's the most balanced, insane person I have ever met. You know I mean that in the best possible way, Lindsay.

Shauna (not yet pictured) is from Northern California (Sacramento). She is one of those super cool girls who has a ton of friends that all have cool names and cool jobs and live all over the country. She is totally on top of pop culture and has her own hilarious blog. She works three jobs, and, therefore, is super busy all the time.

We all live in a house in a suburb in Las Vegas. Sometimes I can't even believe I actually LIVE in "Sin City," but it's been a ton of fun and while I am still single I figure I might as well live in a fun city. And it's not as glam and wild as television and movies make it seem. There is actually a surprisingly huge Mormon community here, we go to a singles ward, and our weekend activities are pretty tame.

Again, thanks for checking out my blog (Mom and Tara). Hope you enjoy it!
