Not Completely Desolate

This picture WAS in fact taken here in Las Vegas. It's not completely desolate out here. We had a nice evening at this state park eating Sonic and marching at the geese to scare them away.


I'm surprised at how much I am liking it out here. But here's the thing...Nate hasn't started residency and it hasn't gotten all that hot yet. I am trying to prepare myself for *real* life in a couple weeks. Many, many times a day I get that ache for things and especially people that are familiar and comfortable. I just want to know right where the worcestershire sauce is in the grocery store. I want to know the best place to get pizza. I want to know all the names of the kids in Natalie's nursery class and who their parents are. I want to know which dollar store is the best. I want to know all my options for preschool this fall. But its the relationships that I miss the most...I'm definitely longing for those faces and voices that came to mean so much to me.

You will, they still love you and you will meet so many that will be dear to you soon. Plus we will visit so often you will ask us to leave =)

I literally cannot wait to see you here in a couple of weeks.

Yeah for the green! It almost looks like Ohio. Enjoy this time before school starts. Intern year was the worst of my medical wife life. Don't mean to be a downer, just want to give you time to prepare.

Just remember I'm only 6 hours away. Just call and say, mom I really need some help this weekend and I'll be there! Appreciate the sunshine, it's a blizzard (yes, really snow) here in Orem today. Love, mom

Yes, intern year sucks.
But a lot of the medical stuff does. Let's be honest. I'll invite you to this resident wife blog thing I'm a part of if you're interested . . . ? It's a good lil group of cranky funny women who support each other online through residency.

Oh yeah, and what dollar store is the best?! I never figured that one out. :)

It is sad for me to think that you guys are so far away now. We miss and have missed you guys for a while now. I'm glad you are liking it there, and hope it continues to get better. Tell Nate good luck with residency. Ohh... I used to suck my thumb and smell my hair all at the same time just like Natalie and Connor do, until my mom chopped off my hair and then I stopped. MEAN! I guess we know what to do if we want them to stop sucking their thumbs.
