ah, the internet. a luxery i've missed.

okay, i am currently in las vegas, nevada. well, actually henderson nevada, but that's like saying granger indiana, you might as well just say south bend.

the wedding went really well. very nice service. if you don't know my cousin jeff, let me give you a couple of high lights that really made this wedding his.
1. his band played during the service. they are very talented. one of the singers reminds me of a really 'not talented' lounge singer, so i found myself sitting there trying hard not to laugh, but it worked well for the ceremony.
2. as they walked back down the isle as a married couple, they walked out to 'let's get it on' SO FUNNY
3. at 12:01 jeff kicked off the year with some kareoke. SO HYSTERICAL. i could make millions if i could just get this tape into the appropriate hands. maybe i'll figure out how to post video to this so you can see it. i'm not kidding, i cried, it was so funny and incredibly good.
other than that, it went well. the hot guys were hot and the one that i was so shocked about seemed to be even more attractive the next day. heres the thing. he's hot, i'm not kidding, one of the hotter ones i've ever seen (and in nebraska!) but the more i learned about him the next day, the less i really wanted to know. i think i might be growing up. this sucks, i can't even appreciate the hot guy without realizing how much of a schmuck he was. being an adult blows.


this past sunday, i woke up witha KILLER sore throat. and, i don't know why i was suprised by this, but i was sick. again. yipee. i shall now refer to my niece as 'petry' as in, petry dish. i love abby, but for future reference, wear a facial mask any time you get near her. becky claims i didn't get it from her...i beg to differ. so, since my benefits haven't kicked in, i find myself self medicating. it's pretty entertaining really. i'm taking some antibiotics, some over the counters, a little ibuprofen, halls losenges, pretty much anything that might have a hint of helping. we'll see how it works out. as of right now, i'm feeling a little bit better but still not 100%.

it's been a long few days. on monday morning i got in the car and headed southwest towards denver. i made pretty good time. i drove for 11 hours that day. not too bad. i stayed in grand junction and then left the next morning for las vegas to stay with my friend kat, and her husband joey. i got here around 4 on tuesday and i've been bumming around since then. i found out that my flight doesn't leave until suday so i decided to stay a couple extra days here to rest and have fun. kat and joey have been working and going about their business and we all tend to hang out at night. i'll leave here early on saturday in order to get to LA, open a bank account, un pack my car, un pack my suitcases and then repack for my trip to san fran sunday afternoon. this should be interesting. i just got an email with more travel details from apple, it's very exciting but i have an incredible urge to just puke right now. i'm meeting up with another girl in san jose and we're sharing a rental car and sharing a hotel room. this should be...AKWARD! are you kidding me? 'hi, nice to meet you, do you want to shower first or would you rather i shower first?!?" how odd. but, other than that, we're booked in a two bedroom condo, so it'll be fun. i'm excited, i just am a little sketchy about staying with someone i've never met. 'note to self:bring nothing valuable."

so, that brings me to right now. i'm sitting in a barnes and noble so i can use the internet. i have to get some paper work done for apple and get it to fed ex today.

anyway, i have to go. one of the reasons i stayed in vegas some extra days is so that i can teach kat's dad how to do some stuff in photoshop.

oh, and fyi, it's hot here. gorgeous. if i didn't have all of my belongings in the back of the car, i'd have the top down. incredible. as i walked out of frye's electronics yesterday, i thought, 'snow sucks' and then i took off my sweatshirt and rolled down the window. i love it.

enjoying sin city from a 10 mile distance,
