Waking up in Vegas

Boxes and paper

2009-06-10T11:00:00.000-07:00

Why is it that all the paper they use to pack seems to fit in the boxes before I unpack (including our stuff) but doesn't seem to fit back in the same boxes. I have paper all over my house, so if anyone is in need, let me know. And really, do they have to individually wrap an egg separator in 3 sheets of paper. But so far, nothing is broken. Let's hope that continues.

Here we go again...

So I decided that I will try this blog thing out again and see if I can keep up with it. I am not sure why I can't seem to remember to update it; I don't do well with journals so maybe that might be it. Many things have happened since September - Travis graduated from Med School, got accepted to a residency in Las Vegas at Nellis AFB, we put an offer on a house (we close on the 26th), packed (or watched movers) our stuff up, and started to drive across country. We have been at the Thompson's for the past few days and are loving be here. But I remember why I don't like Oklahoma very well - mosquitos, chiggers, and humidity. Overall, I am just ready to be in Las Vegas and start on the house. We decided that we need to paint, white flat paint everywhere is not good! We are hoping to get it all done before our furniture comes on the 1st of June, we figured it would be easier that way. I am planning on sending Isaac to Montana with my mom, so we don't have to worry about him. The poor kid has had anything but normalcy the past few weeks. He's been a trooper though, he even got 2 new teeth without too much fuss. We leave tomorrow for the 19 hour trek to Las Vegas. The first 19 hours weren't too bad, so I am hoping for a repeat. I am excited!

Flying the friendly skies

Tuesday was Isaac's first flight, which he did surprisingly well. We went to Las Vegas to see Travis. I was really nervous that he would scream the entire way, but he slept most of the way and didn't really make any noise. However, Thursday we flew to Montana and he decided to cry a little. I was hoping to feed him as we were taking off, but Isaac demanded to be fed right before we got on the plane. So I was a little frazzled getting on the plane. He was a little fussy and cried a bit before take off, and I hear "I choose the wrong flight" from some man a couple rows behind me. Which I don't understand why people complain about babies crying, but adults who are annoyingly loud with stupid comments are okay. Isaac calmed down and did pretty good the rest of the flight. People commented on how good of a baby he was, so I felt better. I am glad that we don't have to fly again for 2 weeks. It is hard on me!
Isaac is ready for a routine again. We are now in Montana with my sister and her family. I thought Isaac was big, but my 6 month old nephew dwarfs Isaac. It is hard to imagine Isaac that big in a few months. Eventually I will get a picture of them two together.

Finally on the bandwagon

I didn't ever think that I would blog (is blog a verb?), but look at me. Our lives are not that interesting at the moment. We (Isaac and I) are counting done the days until we go to Las Vegas to see Travis. The highlight of today was cleaning my car out. We've been homebodies for the past week while Travis is gone. Somewhere between the many wardrobe changes, both me and the baby, we ended up back in our pajamas by 3 o'clock. Well I did anyways, I kept Isaac in his diaper. He doesn't care, as long as if he doesn't have socks on, he is happy as a clam. We don't know why, but last time I put socks on him, he cried and cried until I took them off and he quieted right down.
