Vegas...

We've been in Vegas since Monday night. The drive was ok. My mom did most of it and I just sat there and complained about how uncomfortable I was. It took us about 8 hours and by the time we got here, I was ready. So ready.

It's been a pretty relaxing few days. We've done a bit of shopping, but really, we've been hanging out as a partial family. My mom's been making us yummy dinners and I've been lounging on my brothers EXTREMELY comfortable sectionals. I'm obsessed with his couches. He told me how much they were though and all thoughts of running right out to get one when I get back to Sacramento quickly left my brain. Let me tell you what...comfy couches = a lot of money.

I drove the Escalade today and boy was that an adventure. The windows are so dark that the rear view mirror is useless. I spent most of the time rolling the windows up and down so I could see out the side mirrors. It's a big car.

The weather has been nothing but perfect since we've been here. So, so perfect. I took the dogs to the park yesterday and I could have sat there soaking up the sun for hours. The dogs are total rock stars at the park. EVERYONE has to come over and see them, pet them, tell us all about when they had a golden retriever. It was pretty funny.

The only bummer part of the trip so far is the fact that I can't sleep. I've tried everything. My body is just too much for me to handle right now. I've reached a point of constant uncomfortableness. I've tried every bed in this house--all two of them, and every couch. Although the couches are great to lounge on, sleeping is an entirely different story. By the time I finally fall asleep, it's time to get up. I've only got a few productive hours in me before I need to stop and get a nap in--usually around 4ish. I fear I won't make it another 7 weeks.

We are headed to Provo tomorrow morning--the second phase of our journey. Provo will not be as lovely in the weather department as Las Vegas has been. Oh no. According to weather.com, the high tomorrow will somewhere around 24 degrees. Awesome. Can't wait for that fun treat.

I'll post pictures soon...maybe later tonight.
