…stays in Vegas.

A line that epitomizes what the city is all about. It’s no wonder the coined nickname is “Sin City”.

When I told my friends my 30th birthday would be celebrated in Vegas, eyebrows raised and questions abound.

“How do you celebrate your 30th in Vegas when you’re a Mormon? You do realize we’re going to see it all on Facebook.”

At that moment, I was so grateful I wouldn’t be embarrassed to share what was planned for the week. However, getting “tagged” on Facebook pictures didn’t excite me, but the imminent photos loomed no blackmail over my head.

It’s unnerving to think that nothing is secret. Anything we do is often forged into the tablets of the World Wide Web by innocent bantering friends.

Although our actions can’t always be perfect, we can try our best to make sure we are doing what is right.

So, the week in Vegas is over. I’m 30; here begins a new decade. No regrets! (Except for that really awful picture Jeremy took of me — can we get that off Facebook, please?)

I suppose the point of all this is: Whether we are aware of it or not, we’re accountable for everything we do — to ourself, family and God. Thanks to the Internet, the realization of accountability is that much more tangible.

What happens in Vegas, may stay in Vegas; however, the electronic evidence is there for all.
