Oh My it's HOT!

It is so freakishly hot today! I don't know what the high was, but right now it's 80 degrees at midnight. That's ridiculous! I thought I lived in the pacific northwest where it cools off at night. Steph and I spent the evening at a friends house watching a movie and the Olympics so we just got home. We walked into a swealtery apartment and are now sitting out on our deck. We're even contemplating sleeping out here because it's so hot inside. I could easily sleep on my sleeping bag because it still hasn't been cleaned from camping. To avoid the heat today we also went to the mall. I bought some Danskos, which I am way way way excited about. Then we went to the movies this afternoon, but ended up in a theater which the heat went out in. The rest of the cinemas had working ac but not our little theater. We did get free show tickets though and it was still cooler in there than outside.

So I need to back track a little bit and update you all on my Vegas trip. I returned a week ago, but it seems like I haven't seen Jack, Mc or Chris for at least a month or more. It's hard adjusting when you spend day after day with the same people. I am definitely glad I have Steph though because I think I would go crazy coming home to just myself. Oh, so Vegas. We took a few days to get down there. The drive is 18 hours, but we did it in mostly 2 days though really 3 because we stayed at Mc's parents who are only 2 hours away from Vegas. We went up through Idaho, through Utah, and then down to Nevada so we could stop and see my mom and Mc's dad. My grandma and uncle even got to meet Jack, Chris, and McCall too because my mom was staying at my grandma's because she had an appointment the next day in Boise. I am glad we were able to stop so I could see my mom and grandma. Since we are most likely moving I am probably not going to go home this summer, plus I have my trip up to Montana and then school starts when I get back.

Ok, off topic again. I had a few days in Vegas. It was a good ol' relaxing hang out time. I helped McCall do a few things while she had a free set of hands there because Chris had to go to Austin the day after we got there to go finish off his old job stuff. I had a great time there, but a very difficult time leaving. McCall was smart in leaving Jack with her sister while she took me to the airport. I think he kinda knew something was up because he had been cranky most of the afternoon. I was amazed at how strong I was in leaving him. Mc didn't have to pull him away from me, though I did not want to put that boy down. I held myself from crying until we went out the door. In fact just thinking about it now brings tears to my eyes. Then I had a harder time leaving McCall, thus a few more tears. She told me to take the standby option if someone wanted on my flight but to tell them I couldn't leave until the next Friday. I was so hopping for that, but there were no standby's. The real tears came at take off. I'm sure the people around me thought I was weird crying because we were leaving Vegas. They didn't know I was crying because of the people I was leaving behind. I don't think I'll be able to wait a year before I see them again. In fact I KNOW I won't be able to wait a year. We'll see how long I can last.

Oh, I have to add in, McCall's sister called me a saint because she has no idea how I am so patient when Jack is fussy. The second he gets fussy Brittany passes him off and when he's happy she says "gimmie".
