Catching Up...

Well we basically suck at keeping up to date on this blog. Hopefully when our little "peanut" comes I will be better about it. :)




This week and next week we are in Vegas for Stephen's job. We are staying at a Holiday Inn Express by Nellis Air Force Base. What a difference from Utah! This town is so touristy even if you aren't on the strip.


This morning at about 545 Stephen left for work. I was just drifting back to sleep which, as you know if you have ever been 7 months pregnant, is not the easiest thing to do. At 645 I woke up to a blaring, and I mean BLARING, fire alarm. So I grabbed my phone and the room key quickly and headed out to the stairs. I was half awake and cursing the stupid alarm, stumbling down the stairs while calling stephen. I will not post the words I used when I spoke to him but it wasn't pretty...

The funny thing about Fire Alarms is, they are super annoying and loud on purpose... they are there for your protection. I walked around to the front of the hotel to find one person sitting on a bench in front with probably 15 to 20 cars parked in the lot. That was it.. me and one person. Then one other couple came out of a side door looking as sleepy and pissed off as I was. so in this 3 level hotel with 20 plus cars in the parking lot 4 people paid attention to the stupid alarm. It finally shut off after about 20 minutes outside. I walked into the lobby to find 2 employees back in a room which I am sure was a power/fuse room. I just continued to my room thinkin it was a false alarm. I smelt burning toast which made me believe that was the trigger (free continental breakfast every morning). As I was walking to my room I saw 2 guys sitting at tables in the lobby and laughing at all 4 of us walking back to our rooms. As I walked down the hall to the elevator I heard shuffling in rooms as I passed. It just made me laugh to myself thinking if this was really a fire those people would have been in their rooms ignoring the "fire."

So this leads me to my next point in this awfully long post... what I want to teach peanut when she is old enough.....
