Home at Last.

Well as many of you know, we are HOME! It is good to be home and not hanging out in a hotel, but I already miss Pennsylvania. Luckily all the rain here has greened things up a little, so at least it isn't as dry as it was when we left Utah!

Well on Thursday morning around 3:30AM, we were still up just hanging out. We suddenly had an idea that we should fly home, take care of Dustyn's Defense and Thesis and a few other things at home, and then when Hilary has the baby, we can go out again. So we booked our flight. We packed and checked out of the hotel at 4:30AM, drove into Pittsburgh. Gased up and returned the rental, checked out baggage, went through security (funny story about that later) and went to the terminal. It wasn't a minute or two later that they boarded the plane. We flew out at 8:00AM to Atlanta, GA. There we had a layover for about an hour or two. I am not really sure. Then we flew into Las Vegas. We arrived there about 12:30 Vegas time. By the time we got our luggage, called Carrie and Rodney and got to our car, it was around 3:30 or 4:00 ish. We got in the car and drove home. We got home about 8:30PM. It was a long day, but it was so nice to walk into our house and remember how much I love it and missed it! I was happy to be home!

Here's the funny story... so we had a car seat and stroller that we had taken out there for when we brought the baby home. On the way home we took it all apart and loaded it onto the conveyor belt to go through the X-ray machine. You have to put the car seat upside down on the belt. So Dustyn and I were randomly selected to have everything we owned searched (could be that we were pushing around an empty stroller, who really knows). So as the lady was searching us she asked what items were mine. I showed her which bins belonged to me. She asked about Dustyn when I pointed at him..

"He's with you?" she said.
"Yes, he is with me?" I said.
"Right there?" she said.
"Yes, right there." I said.
"With the baby stroller?" she said.
"Yep, that's him." I said.
WIth a panic looked on her face, "WHERE'S YOUR BABY!?!?"
"We're adopting"
Relieved she says, "Oh, good. I thought you had sent her through the X-ray Machine".

Ha ha ha! I thought it was quite funny. There is no way I would send my baby strapped in upside down through the X-ray machine. I got a good laugh.

So things are still okay with the adoption, we are just waiting. When Hilary has the baby, we will fly out and pick her up! We are excited!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOBBIE ON THE 2ND! We were kinda busy and exausted that day! Sorry this is late! Love ya!!!

Home Sweet Home

It is nice to be home. I miss Pennsylvania already, but I am glad to be home in my own bed and using my own shower and not living out a suitcase (oh yes... and being able to drive 75MPH on the freeway!!). But it was a great trip... now i want to go back and tour Philadelphia and a few other places. I know, we should have done that when we were there... but we were too busy getting lost in Pittsburgh! But it was all so much fun and I am glad we went.

Today was a good day. We went out to eat with Carrie and Rodney. We went to a Mexican Restaurant that they had never been to but heard of... and heard good things... well I ordered Fish Tacos thinking I was being safe... I mean fish tacos are always good. Wrong! The fish tasted/looked like it had been deep fried and then boiled in water and then served. It was gross. Not only was it mushy and soggy, but the flavor was pretty bland. I know I am picky!

After that we went to the Shark Reef. Always fun! I love it! Then we went to Leatherbys... which by the way... the one in Provo is better!! (Sorry Carrie and Rodney!!) But it was a lot of fun to hang out with Carrie and Rodney! Then we drove home. I was so tired all day and all I wanted to do was sleep, but i really tried not to... and of course now I am ready to go to sleep, and I am not sleepy. Oh well... It's only 1:45!! Good thing I don't work early. I am not looking forward to work. I want a longer vacation!!

I know the pictures are a little (or a lot) blurry, deal with it!! :)
