Wednesday evening we started our long drive down to Arizona. We planned to get it all done overnight, but my mom insisted that we stop in Vegas for the night. THANK YOU MOM! She got us a room at a hotel, and it helped so much. I couldn't imagine having to make that whole drive in one night. My dad was kind enough to give us our Christmas present money early, so that we could make the trip out there. Thanks dad. :)
We arrived Thursday night and stayed until Sunday afternoon. Here you see Sophie helping Grandma Horton clean up the floor.
Grandma Horton was just awesome. I could definitely live closer to her. She made Sophie these super cute socks. (there were several different colors, but who matches?) I love them, especially since my mom used to make them for me when I was little.
One of my favorite parts of Sun City, is that it's an old people city. All of the old people own golf carts, and feel the need to drive them around like cars. Seriously! They even have "Golf Cart Parking" at the hospital!
Don't believe me? There are two old guys in front of us, on our way to the hospital. When I'm old I want to drive a golf cart everywhere.
Sophie and Grandma Horton eating some fruit.
I made Denny go pose for some pictures before we left Arizona.
Grandma Horton tickling Sophie.
Sophie giving Grandma hugs goodbye.
Sophie giving Grandpa a high5. I'm really glad we got out to see them. Grandpa looked so much better after seeing Sophie. That was actually the first time they've met. Grandma met Sophie back when she was about a month old.
Sophie thought their lawn was awesome! With living in a desert, you can't really waste water on grass - so everyone just has rocks. Sophie loves rocks, and she thought it was amazing that Grandma's yard was filled with them! :)
Before we left Vegas on Monday morning, we decided to walk around the Luxor and Excalibur. Sophie got a big lollipop and I got me a cute new bag. (I'm a bag addict) While we went through Vegas, I notice how slutty the city has become. My family went there a few times when I was younger, and it was MUCH more family friendly back then.
Now everything is 'nude' this, and 'topless' that. Stupid Vegas. There were giant signs like these EVERYWHERE! I'm fairly convinced the blond is a guy.
ANYWAYS! Hopefully we can make it back down to see Grandma and Grandpa Horton for the holidays. If so... I definitely want to fly. I don't think I'll want to ride in another car for at least a year.
Here are the rest of the pictures from our
Arizona Trip Album.
Here are the videos from the trip on our
Youtube Channel. (they are the 4 new ones)
That's right ladies and gentlemen - I made that shirt! Okay so I didn't actually sew the shirt, but I put the image on it. Pretty nifty ey? Never again will I pay an insane amount of money for a stupid tshirt! I SHALL MAKE THEM! MUAHAHA!
I am putting off unpacking... I mean really. Who ever WANTS to unpack? Since everything is still laying on our living room floor, Sophie found my makeup bag. She took it upon herself to pull everything out and do her makeup. Then she did mine. :)
Beautiful isn't it?
Three years ago, I agreed to be Denny's girlfriend.... boy was I insane! :) 7 Months later we were married. Nuts? Perhaps, but we were crazy about each other. Naturally, life was hard at first. Being married at all is hard, but then being young, and having a child just makes it all the worse.
However, we prevailed. We've made it through very hard trials both on our own, and together. We have a more mature relationship than some 40 or 50 year old people. We never argue, we never yell, we never fight. Sure we get ticked off at each other, but we actually TALK about it. We discuss problems, and work through them. (my old therapists would we so proud)
I knew life wouldn't be easy. I knew we wouldn't have oodles of money. I knew this would be difficult as all hell... and yet, I wanted it. We may not have loads of fancy things, but we are happy. We live within our means, and some how have a little extra left over. We are blessed. :)
The reason I even considered being with Denny forever - he matched my list. I've had a little pink piece of paper since about 7th or 8th grade. From each relationship, I took at least one good quality and wrote it on the paper. Whoever I married HAD to meet each requirement. A few people could meet 4 or 5, but no one ever got close. I'll have to see if I can hunt down that list and post it on here later today.
I love you with ever bit of my self. I love you so much it's retarded. :) You irritate me beyond belief. You make me smile. You are stubborn as hell. You go without, so we can have. You annoy me for sport. You make me relax when I'm going to snap. You get angry at stupid things. You let me be angry at stupid things. You take the covers. You sacrifice the bed so Sophie and I have room. You complain. You provide for us. You make me wonder why on earth I put up with you. You remind me each and every day just how much I love you. You hoard your dirty socks by your computer. You don't nag me when I haven't cleaned for the day. You snore. You are you, and you are amazing. Don't you ever forget that.
