“Life is all about ending up somewhere you didn’t expect‚ and learning to just be happy with it.” (Lauren Oliver) That’s what I felt coming in and seeing the lights of Las Vegas laid out below me.

I don’t think that I had really thought about it but I have fallen in love with this city and I guess it took a week away for me to realize
