Debbie Downer


I've been a "Debbie Downer" for sometime now. I thought it would be good for me to share some cool things that are happening here in Vegas.

1. I'm almost unpacked! Only a few more decorations to go!

2. Las Vegas is known as being one of the most un-neighborly cities in the U.S. Despite this I've met several of our neighbors and am beginning to build relationships with them. One neighbor even asked me to go to Jazzercise classes with her (I didn't even know that Jazzercise existed anymore. I thought it was a fad from the 1980s. I also wonder if you have to wear legwarmers to class...I hope so!)

3. My kids love living here. I'll write more and share some theorys I have as to why in future posts.

4. Dawson started playing baseball. We've met some parents and are beginning to connect with people.

5. I am going to start volunteering in the kids' school on a weekly basis.

6. Lori Wilhite invited me to join her book club!

7. There are 7 adults that have already moved here to help Verve! Many more are coming later this year.

8. I never need to wear a winter jacket.

9. We are starting a non-profit community based organization called, The Verve Foundation.

10. And finally, our last piece of furniture is being delivered today. It's almost "home."
