I'm here! I have to say that seemed way more excited than I feel. We left last night at ten and got in this morning around six. We made really good time with all of the kids sleeping in the back of the van... well, trying to sleep. My sister, Megan, and I are pretty comical at four in the morning. You know it's time to stop driving when you can't identify the vehicle in front of you as a semi. Yeah. And you think it's funny.

Plans for this week are as follows: Tonight I'm going to get together with Jenny for some food. I haven't decided between Indian or Chipotle. I know... weird. I've got Matt's ortho appointment tomorrow and then Willow's graduation. I'm so excited for her! Then a big barbeque at my mom's with the family. Friday I'm hanging out some with David after I drop Ian off with Grandma and Grandpa in Mesquite and then it's sushi later that day with David, Bianca and Jenny. I can't begin to express my joy at the thought of sushi. Yum. Sushi. Saturday night I'm meeting up with BB at the Pink Taco for her birthday. :) Busy, busy.

Carolyn, just a note to say that I couldn't be happier for you. I'll try to be out here for the shower if I can!

I just want to say that I'm ready to go home and I haven't been here that long. :\ I know it seems a little odd but I love where I live and as I'm driving in to the Las Vegas valley, before I can even see the city, there is a sickly green haze hovering on the horizon. Once in to town I find I can't see across the valley and the mountains are a blur because there is so much dust and smog in the air. My eyes sting and my van is a furnace. It was seventy-ish degrees in CO before I left and had rained twice in the last week. They don't have air conditioners in most of the homes up there because you never need them. I've used my van's air conditioner once this summer until I got here. I hate the desert.
