Things get bad sometimes. For everyone.

But even though everything may feel lonely, ugly and sad...

...there is always something beautiful to be found to brighten your day.

This flower brought such a big smile to my face.

It was sitting all alone in a pot, but was the happiest thing in the area.

It's beautiful.

What is beautiful in your life today?

I've come to realize that Vegas is a really beautiful place. It's a different kind of beautiful than I'm used to, but the plants and architecture is quite lovely in some places!

And so I've made it my goal to explore this wonderful city a lot more.

For my first excursion, I explored a really fun outdoor eating area with a decorated square surrounding it.

I love the clocks and lamps that they had placed at the entrance.

It was a great day of exploring and I can't wait to do it again!

When I realize that I would have missed this perfect spring morning if I had been sleeping, it makes me feel a lot better about my internal alarm clock going off before the sun rises.

Morning sunlight. Another thing to add to my list of things I love.

I was browsing my old posts today, trying to find the best one for this Sunday's Best Of feature. And when I came across the post documenting my growing up through photos, I instantly set to work recreating the post!

Check out the original post here! There are a few different pictures. 

In other news. Kevin is going to be here today! I can't wait to finally kiss him! Golls I'm so happy!

Highlights:

- 4th-7th: Jamey came to visit Alyson. We had good times. We went to the strip, and ate at Red Robin and Macaroni Grill! -

- 5th: Happy Birthday Alyson! -

- 6th: I went to see Beastly. It was only okay. But I had fun wandering the casino while I waited for the movie to start! -

- 7th: I had an interview at Target. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. -

-12th: Aly and I went out and got some Starbucks and enjoyed Chinese Food. -

- 17th: Happy St. Patrick's Day! I just love a day for everything green! -

- 19th: I celebrated my 200th post! Quite the milestone! -

- 24th: I met an online friend in person for the first time! Clair and I had lots of fun getting Yogurtland and SmashBurger while chatting and gossiping about other bloggers. -

- 24th-26th: I was home alone while Alyson went to a wedding. It was nice to have the house to myself. -

- Alyson and I played a whole lot of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. We laughed so much I thought I was going to die. It was great times! -

- I was browsing pictures for a post around the 22nd, and found a few of my grandma. It was one of those moments when I realize that she's not really around anymore. I'm not going to be able to visit home and see her. She won't be there on holidays. She's just not here anymore. It was a really bad night. -

New Movies Watched: 
- Beastly: It was fun to get out of the house, but the movie was extremely cheesy and the acting (except for Neil Patrick Harris) was mediocre. -

- Due Date: What a stupid movie. I loved it. Oh man. -

(It was a good month for TV shows. These are the ones that I finished this month.)

- How I Met Your Mother: This show is hilarious. I'd been meaning to watch it for ages, and it didn't let me down! It is just too funny! -

- Pushing Daisies: I really enjoyed the whimsical nature of this show. I liked the first season better than the second, but it was just enjoyable all around! -

- Better Off Ted: I LOVE this show! I didn't even know it existed when it was on the air, and was so sad when I realized that there were only two seasons! So so funny! -

- Big Bang Theory: Another show I had been meaning to watch for such a long time. I love all the of the nerd references and geeky humor! I enjoyed being able to relate to everyone in the show the way I don't usually with the pretty people shows. So great! -

- New York Cheesecake frozen yogurt with kiwi from Yogurtland, without a doubt! -

- SmashBurger: SO good! I'm so glad Clair suggested it! -

- Farmer Boys: It was so far away from our house that by the time we got back the food was kind of cold, but it was definitely enjoyable. I loved that my burger had avocado on it! -

Overall Impression: 
It was a good month. A bit stressful because I haven't found a job yet; but I had so much fun blogging this month and I had so much to look forward to. It's been a long time since I felt this happy!

I had so much to talk about in this post, I thought it would be so much easier to do it via vlog!
