Long time gone...

Bear with me, I have so much catching up to do. Dave moved to Las Vegas in August and began school and work. I stayed in Utah at my parents (thanks mom and dad) for all of August to work. So each weekend during the month apart either I came to Veags and Dave came to Utah.
One weekend while in Vegas, Dave wanted me to make him some pizzas to have throughout the week. I was making the dough and Dave was helping cut and cook the toppings and I had just preheated the oven. Well I went to get a pan out and saw smoke coming out of the sides of the oven. I opened up the oven door and there were flames bursting out. We were freaking out. We didn't know if it was grease or gas (our oven is gas) so after trying to figure out what do to Dave poured a little water on it and it started putting it out. He kept just pouring water on it with a 1/4 c measuring cup until he realized to grab our big pitcher from the fridge. Our fire alarm was so loud and there was smoke everywhere. No one ever came out to see what was going on though, which is weird since our apt is townhome style and is hooked to many others. There was water everywhere after the fire was out put there was no damage anywhere thank goodness. After putting out the fire, we realized that when we had put everything away my mother and I put my hot pads in the drawer under the oven not thinking it was electrical. Well when I preheated the oven, it lights in that drawer and started the mits on fire. It was pretty scarey during but we are glad it turned out ok. We got a few pictures after of the drawer and also of what happened to the dough during all of the commotion.



I thought I would be getting my dental hygiene license in Nevada mid August however Nevada requires a lot more things than Utah and to say the least I was waiting on a background check that came through after the nevada board met in August. Then to make things worse, we found out that the board doesn't meet again until October. We thought we would be living apart for another month so I could keep working. Neither of us were too fond of the idea, so Dave said NO WAY and that I was moving down the first of September. I couldn't argue with that. A month to relax in Vegas, and of course I missed Dave like crazy!!
So I moved down the day after labor day, and then I actually left for Arkansas two days later to help my sister. I had so much fun out their. I love my sister and her family. She is such a great example to me. I did take my camera with me but my battery was dead (oops) so no pictures. However, my time was spent helping out my sister because she is on moderate bed rest with her fourth child, so I got to play with my nephews and niece and just helped her out where ever else she needed it. I came back to Vegas after about 5 days and now I am here for good. I am going to take some pictures of our apartment soon and I will post them. However this past weekend, spur of the moment, Dave and I made a Disneyland run. We have season passes and it is only about 4 hours away. Here are some pictures of our fun time.... (PS we LOVE disneyland!!!)
