love the place you live

In March 2012 our family moved from rainy & green Portland, Oregon to sunny & dry Las Vegas.

Quite a change!

Keeping with my one little word for 2012 (embrace), I figured that the best way to feel at home here is to jump right in and make the choice to fall in love with all that it offers.  I am recording the places we visit, explore, and discover in this area.
