Whirlwind Month

Wow! What a month we've had! It started when I found out I was pregnant. A week later was our anniversary, and we spent it in Vegas. Bill had a conference there for work, so Maddie & I joined him in his luxury suite (compliments of Uncle Sam)! We got to go swimming, watch a circus act at Circus Circus, visit Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden (with dolphins, lions, tigers, leopards, & panthers), and plenty of shopping :) A few days after we got back, I wrecked my car. Maddie & I are perfectly fine (if you don't count a bruised ego). I cracked my rear bumper, but unfortunately the air bags did the most damage. We are still waiting on the appraiser to get back to us (extremely frustrating).

Then, a week later, I rented a car & drove to Yuma. Bill flew the jet down earlier in the week, as he had two weeks of work there. So, Maddie & I got to visit daddy & friends for a long weekend. Finally, to cap things off, I took a temporary part-time job at the church we have been attending. After hearing about my background at Stone Ridge, they asked me to fill in while one of their secretaries is on vacation. It's 3x/wk for a month or so. It's been a good opportunity to meet people in the church, and it feels great to be able to help them out. Bill returned home on Sunday, and will be home for a couple of weeks before going on a cross-country. I would say that we are both ready for a bit of downtime!

I would add pics of Maddie, but we are having computer issues & I can't access them right now. I'll try to add them once we get it fixed.
