Like I said in the post Traveling, the thing I was looking forward to the most while I was in Las Vegas was seeing my good friends Alice, Cindy, Jamie, and Jen.  Jen used to work with me and was in my ward for a couple of years.  Then, she and her family moved away after her husband Christian graduated.

I taught seminars with both Alice and Jamie and I spent a day and a half with Cindy while we were both in Kona.  I feel like they’re my moms away from my mom.  They’re so sweet and I love them like my own family.  I’ve enjoyed getting to know them over the last six years.

Anyway, it was so good to see all of them.  I wish it could be more often.

Unfortunately, I never have all that much time to spend with them because we’re always so busy with the conference or other work things.  This time around, however, I was able to spend some time with Jen on Wednesday night.  Some of my co-workers talked Erin and me into playing a game of bingo so I invited Jen to come along.  It was a lot of fun and it only cost $5.  None of us won anything, even though I was only four away from winning the blackout round. We also witnessed someone win $11,867. 8O

I had a good time in Las Vegas, but I’m super glad to be home.  I missed Corey and the kitties a lot and I’m so tired and worn out.  I feel like sleeping for the entire weekend.
