Moving Foward
I was driving today to meet up with one of my mommy groups. I was headed to a place called Town Square, a fun outside shopping area located in southwest Las Vegas. Kale was snug in his car seat in the backseat and I had the music playing softly. I was thinking to myself how lucky I am to be making so many friends so easily and how I am really starting to love Las Vegas…I was also thinking…HONK!!!!!
I snap back to what is going on around me, HONK, traffic all over the place in every direction. People crossing the street at all different locations and the taxi drivers are angry and are showing their aggression through their only source of outlet…the horn. Then it hits me, I am a local just driving to meet up with some friends for tea though at the same time I am driving through the heart of Las Vegas, The Strip. Hundreds of thousands of people descend on Las Vegas this time of year, for the great weather, spring break destination, and the March Madness gambling and betting.
I couldn’t help but smile. Because at the same time last year I would have been driving in the dark cold, snow six feet, trying to keep my eyes peeled open in case a moose decided he wanted to jump out in front of my car.
So you tell me which of the two sounds more normal?
Tried to snap a quick photo and not kill somebody with my car at the same time. Well didn't kill anybody but the photo didn't come out too good.
