Red Rock ,Burros, & Mitt Romney

Well we are settling in to life here in the desert. We still can't believe that its been a month and a half since our move from Idaho. It still feels like a long vacation (maybe its because I'm still unemployed or that we are still living in my awesome sister Melissa's guest house :) I'm sure reality will sink in once we are finally in our house, which seems to be closing at the slowest pace possible. We are keeping our fingers crossed to close by the end of this week. Then the painting and some remodeling begins - which I am very excited to start.

A few weekends ago Mark & I went over to one of my favorite spots in Vegas, RED ROCK!


We had a great time hiking and enjoying the gorgeous weather. After our hike we were driving the Red Rock loop when we came across wild BURROS. So neat, we took our nephews back the next day so they could see them.

How cute is that little baby burro with its poofy hair?

Also this week Mitt Romney was in Las Vegas for the Western Republican Debate. Before the debate he spoke at the grand opening of the Las Vegas Mitt Romney headquarters. Anyone who knows my parents, especially my mom, understand that our move to Las Vegas automatically put us right in the middle of the Romney Campaign or anything politically for that matter. So Mark, Little Ernie, my mom, and I went to hear Mitt speak and to the opening of the headquarters. This has been the 4th event so far we have been to, and there are many more in the near future I am sure. But it has its perks:Yep, we got to meet him . Thanks Mom!

Little E was very moved with the speech, the hand shake,and the signature he got from Romney He told Mark & I the whole way home about how awesome Romney was and how he needed to be president for such and such reasons (he knew more then most adults :). Little E was very upset when we told him he wasn't old enough to vote. This didn't stop him from becoming Romney's greatest campaigner - he has a stack of bumper stickers he plans to hand out and that night told our waitress at Red Robin to vote for Romney. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree- he is my mothers grandson.
