The army needed some people to represent the unit in Vegas for some change of command. Dan and Bryan were practically falling over themselves to go. They drove up there in vans, had a rehearsal for the ceremony.....AND THEN HIT THE STRIP! Dan (nor I) had ever been to Vegas, so this was pretty exciting. While there, RANDY COUTURE walked by them. They immediately turned into teenaged groupies and sort of followed him and saw him get on an elevator. He called me, all breathless with excitement. It was really cute to see a grown man get so giddy.
He took lots of pictures on his phone and was generally amazed at how cool that place is. I can't wait to go with him someday!
Here on the homefront, the weekend felt LONG. (How did I manage by myself for years at a time when I can't seem to go two days now?) We had to drive him an hour to Bryan's place Friday night (and an hour home). Yesterday, we hit the library and In N Out burger for lunch. I rented a PPV movie, Hairspray, for the kids in the evening. In between all of that, we spent about an hour on the trampoline out back. I wanted to listen to my new MP3 player!
Today, we got Starbucks on the way to mass and then went grocery shopping after. I am SO TIRED of being nagged. Especially Emilio. He did redeem himself by announcing just now that his yogurt was, "..DELIGHTFUL!!"
Taking a breather before hitting the dishes and laundry. Dan will be back late tonight, but at least he will be here! When he got back from this last deployment in April, I wasn't used to sharing the bed, and couldn't sleep. *NOW* I can't sleep when he is gone. So glad he's only gone for two nights and two days this time and not a year and a half!
