I am home! Yesterday, before we left the B&B, I left little notes around for the next person to find..like I put "I can see clearly now the dust is gone" by the window, "brrr, it's cold in here!" in the freezer, "best bed ever!!" in my room, and there was this decoration thing with a lid and I put the note in it with a date on it, so whoever finds it knows how long it's been in there..it was really fun haha. Since it was dark on the drive into Yuma, we saw what we had missed before, a little canyon while crossing over the mountains..cool! We stayed at a tiny B&B in Phoenix near the airport..the fold-out bed was one of the most uncomfortable beds I'd ever slept in, but at least it was only for one night. We had dinner in downtown Phoenix and then wandered around for awhile..it seemed to have a vibrant nightlife! Then all too soon is was time for bed..it was a fun trip though!

We had to get up at 5 something today, ugh (why am I always cold when I get up that early?). Ryan was grouchy, but not as grouchy as the lady at the ticket counter, who was yelling in her phone about how she could possibly get her two-year-old to wear a mask, and was like "call 911, call security! There's no security on this floor? What's wrong with you guys?? I'm gonna get a lawyer for this!" and on and on. The person checking us in was really uncomfortable, and would look over at her and sigh. I'd be SO embarrassed if I made a scene like that..her poor kid was just standing there, dazed. I don't know what the outcome was, but I imagine it wasn't pretty. The flights were fine..I watched Die Hard with a Vengeance and some of The Last Castle..I kept peeking out the window so I wouldn't miss the glaciers. It was cloudy at first, and my weather magic worked again because it was clear over the glaciers! Too bad I was right next to the wing, but I did get some pics. Always love seeing the glacial wonderland. <3 Both Greyboy and Abby were very happy to see me haha. It's always hard coming back to "reality" after vacation though :P

some glacier pics! )

15. What is one thing you've realized or discovered lately? That I really, really want a four-poster bed haha..it made me feel secure and cozy!

16. Which family member did you inherit your hair color from? Mom..people say our hair is exactly the same lol

Yesterday we drove to Phoenix (I was reading from the paper journal I brought to Europe in 2006, and Jo thought it was HILARIOUS I kept writing things like "heck yeahhh maaaan!" LOL) and had lunch, then I was dropped off at a used bookstore while the others went to a kitchen type store. I wish it had been more organized, but they had cool books there, especially the vintage books! I bought way too many lol, but mom's going back to Payson after everyone else leaves (she's going to help Aunt Cindy after she has surgery in a couple weeks), so I'll just leave some of them in Payson for next time lol. After that we got cookies and took Christi to the airport..it was fun hanging out with her, and she enjoyed herself too!

Then we started the drive to Yuma..it was lateish, so there was lots of traffic in Phoenix, so that made the drive even longer. It was also REALLY windy, so there was lots of sand and dust in the air..it made the sun look eerie lol. It was dark a lot of the way, so we played 21 Questions for something to do..it did make the time go by fast! We found the AirB&B pretty easily, and we were all impressed by how nice it was inside! There's a pool outside, but it's filled with sand from the crazy wind last night. I couldn't wait to sleep in my bed, I kept telling everyone "I've always wanted to sleep in a four-poster bed!!" LOL. We ate at Chick-fil-A for dinner because Jo LOVES their chicken nuggets..they're ok, but their milkshakes are much better. Then we went back to the B&B..I tried staying up, but I was SO tired I went to bed before 11! And sleeping in a four-poster bed? OMG I LOVED IT. The top of the posts are connected to form a square (hard to explain! You'll see in my picture), and it made me feel..protected and secure somehow. It was awesome and I WANT ONE!! It might be hard to fit one in my apartment, but maybe I can find a small one somewhere?? I must have one!! Haha

Today Dana visited from California, yay! Jo was at the dentist in Mexico, so mom made us breakfast and then went downtown to look in a couple shops and the visitor center before Jo called to say he was finished. It's realllly desolate looking (except for the Colorado River) at the border. The wind was much calmer, but there was still a lot of dust in the air. After we got back to the B&B mom made milkshakes (yummm) and then we played Betrayal at House on the Hill. It was Dana's first time, and she really enjoyed it! It finished just as it was time for Dana to leave (she didn't want to drive back in the dark in the desolate desert..yeah that would be creepy lol). It was awesome seeing her again!! She's so happy and fun lol. After she left we had dinner at Olive Garden (yummm again :P), and now we're relaxing. Though I'm sad I've said "post" multiple times successfully since I've been here and no one's noticed LOL..I still felt accomplished though :P

a few pics )

11. Do you still take hot showers when it’s hot out? Nooo, too much heat!! D:

12. Do you like the picture on your ID? It's alright..my passport pic is TERRIBLE though, they made me take off my glasses and I look very uncomfortable in it LOL
