Somewhere in the Middle

So, I don't why I will continually have middle child syndrome.. But, I do. 3 women in a 1 bdrm apt.. Interesting to say the least. We have an ENFP and an ESTJ mixed with me and ENFJ.. So, I'm the one trying to think for everybody, Jules is the control freak that needs a plan and Meg is the free spirited control freak. FUNNY!. So, we went to the strip last night. The Bellagio Caesars Paris and Bally's all my old haunts that I knew pretty well. We ate the Hard Rock order the gamblers special $7.77 Steak 3 shrimp veggie salad Bargain! This city is so nuts and Hard Rock looked like mostly people from LA can we say SCARY!! We saw the Gardens and the Chihuly of the Bellagio. His work is amazing. We browsed the shops. Meg went into Dior and Prada. I wanted to go into Tiffany's. We have to come back so Jules can film everything on Monday. So, I'll go then. I'm currently listening to Nichole Nordeman . She is so amazing. Sorry wanna go Ride out bikes.. ADD kicked in..

So today we're heading to the best outlet mall in America. Though I just looked at the pictures on the website. EVERYTHING in this area is Provoctive.. I don't know why I find that so sad.. It's about a half an hour south of us. It's airconditioned. YEAH! Not that it's been that difficult in the heat, it really is dry which makes it less yucky.

I do have a funny story, I've fallen in love with Jules's mutt of a dog. So, I've been the one taking care of him, that includes picking up his droppings. Well, Jules is about to fly him to her son in COLS. So, we took him to Petsmart for shots and health certificate. Well, we get out of the car and are walking across the the pedestrian crossing into the store and he starts dropping.. and dropping and dropping. Now Julie and Meg are bent over in laughter, tears welling down there faces. And because my husband has rubbed off on me WAY MORE than I thought. I had brought an extra doggie trash bag because at the apt complex I had just picked up his mess. HE held it for over a half an hour poor dog. SO, I'm in the middle of the intersection bending over picking up dog doo.. If that isn't funny I don't know what is.. Meg took a picture but of course she handed me the phone to show it, I promptly deleted it. Weight watchers is calling. Sorry no self deprecating humor.. Wait I just told the dog poo story.

Well, I need to do my devotionals..

Peace and Light

Who needs Sleep

Sleep, it's a wonderful thing and those few souls that really know me, know I NEED sleep. Driving to Indy late at night to catch a early morning flight into a city t that never sleeps.. Well, don't count on getting any.. Not on an airport floor and definitley not on the plane. We got into Vegas at 9:30 local time. Jules looked wonderful. She took us to her place which is AWESOME.

Finally, Sleep I was able to get intermittent rest for 3 hours, woke up by twice by telemarketers. Everyone should do this

Megan and I had endless banter over getting ready. I played with Jules/Davids' dog Ziggy who is absolutely the best trained dog I know. Jules came home and we drove around finally eating at Fiesta. It was good and reasonably priced. Then we drove around the city we started downtown and went all the way up the strip. We took a slight detour at the Stratosphere. We browsed the shops and went up the Tower. THE VIEW WAS Phenominal unfortunately both meg and I's cell phones were pretty much dead and jules didn't have her camcorder.

By the time we got home it was midnight. Jules was tired and I was tired. Meg not so much luckily I have ear plugs and I got a full 7 hours sleep YEAH!

Finding Contentment 

The first time.

My last blog went AWOL! So, I have started anew. I'm hoping this will help my journaling or lack there of. I'm heading to Vegas for a week and my hope is to draw closer to GOD. I know going to Vegas to grow closer to GOD. This could only happen with me. I'm going with Meg. Meg is more of a kindred spirit rather than just a friend. We're g0ing to help my Aunt get settled and find a church and generally encourage her. GOD is so Good I was able to close on two houses this past week. So now I have turned what my husband calls a expensive hobby into a career and not a moment too soon.

We went to COLS this past weekend to pick up Meg and visit with Brian and Rachel. I had one of the best weekends I can remember and the funny thing is we didn't do much. Ryan and I just went to our old haunts and ate some wonderful food. I yearn to be back just Ryan and I against the world.. But, I'm trying to be content with where the Lord has put me now.

Peace and Blessings
