vacations are great!

This year, we've gone from zero to sixty in 7 seconds. For years, we never went anywhere. Well, Mom and I used to go to Cali every year. But Bill and I never did anything. Then we had a family reunion and a couple weddings and bam! This year has been chock full of vacations and we aren't done yet!

First there was Vegas.
Then there was our anniversary.
Then Bill had the guy ride.
Then we had Ryan out for 5 days.
Next is Laughlin.
Whew!

Ryan went home last night. It sure was great to have him here. He's so easy going and we learned some new things about him! Neat. Bill was a little sad this morning, but the girls didn't look for him! Funny.

Oh, and that movie? District 9? Yuck. Bill and Ryan liked it. Not really my cup o tea. Well, there are a couple nice things I can say...the special fx were awesome, the cinematography was very cool, and for an alien movie it was quite the social commentary. That was pretty interesting. But the story as a whole was fairly predictable and it was like any other 'slasher' kind of movie ~ too much gore. Bill said he liked that it took place somewhere other than the USA. That didn't occur to me until he said it.

Now it's back to the grind stone and regular life :-)
