End of Las Vegas

We are leaving on a very long 18 or maybe 19 hour drive from Las Vegas to Calgary on Friday. We drove up to Utah last week to do some house stuff and I wanted to pull my hair out just with that short drive. My sanity may not make it all the way to Calgary.

On our trip last week to Utah, we got to see the progress made on our house. I loved walking through all the rooms and imagining what it will look like done.

The girls in their future room. This picture was taken after a two hour meeting with our builder and their patience was pretty much gone.

Other than our trip to Utah, we have been having a great time in Las Vegas. Steven's parents have been in Europe the past few weeks, so it has just been us here around the house.

I have loved Steven working from home and how I get to run in the daylight now. I injured my foot right before our half marathon and it is just finally feeling back to normal now. I'm very grateful for that, because it has been really frustrating to only be able to run shorter distances for the past couple months.

We have spent a lot of time at the children's museum. The girls have loved it. I don't love them running off in two directions, but I have been grateful to have a place to take them to burn off energy. They also have really great crafts that we have spent a lot of time on.

Definitely the best part of living here has been how much time we have been able to spend with Tyler and Katie's family. The girls LOVE their cousins, and it has been so fun to watch them play together. We have been able to see them several times a week, and we even let them have a sleepover last Saturday. Even though it was onto Mother's Day, it was the only day that we could. They went to sleep after ten and woke up before six. It made for an exhausting Mother's Day, but we all had fun.

We really have had a great time living here, but parts of it have been hard for me. The girls got back to back sicknesses and we spent a week cooped up inside. I also miss having preschool and gymnastics and lots of things to fill our days. Aubrey, especially, is a high-energy little girl, and it is exhausting being the only source to keep her entertained and busy. I also miss having friends and well... a life. And, I don't even want to admit how many times I have taken the wrong road even though I have a GPS :)

But! We are so grateful we have been able to live here. We have done and seen a lot. I have clearly been terrible at taking pictures, but it has been a lot of fun and we have loved spending so much time with family.
