Well, its Tuesday and almost 60 degrees today here in Las Vegas. One of the benefits of living here is a mild winter. I have gotten a lot of feedback from my friends and family in Nebraska about all the snow they have gotten this winter. My own family experienced their "first" snowed in Christmas in the history of our family's Christmases. I only got to hear about it via phone as I was not able to return home for this years Christmas season. A huge disappointment but after hearing and seeing all that they endured I know God helped us make that decision for a good reason. On Christmas Eve my oldest Sister had 19 people in her house overnight. Her house thankfully is very good sized but even with a large house 19 people overnight is a big number.
I miss winter though. A lot of people I talk to out here say they don't understand what I'm talking about. They don't like the "hot" weather out here but appreciate the "lack" of snow living in the desert. I grew up in a 4 season state so I'm used to it. I like wearing coats, sweaters, and enjoying cozy cold nights at home. I definitely understand the lack of "windchill" is a benefit but I think I would be willing to endure the "cold" to enjoy the wonderful spring, summer and fall seasons that we miss out here. I just saw on the news out here that we had 72 days of over 100 degree weather out here in 2009 and only 4 days of less than 32 degrees. Not sure how the rest of you feel about cold but over a 100 degrees is hot!
I am going to take my boys out sometime today. I haven't decided exactly when but probably this morning. My truck needs an oil change badly and I wanted to pick up a new movie for Clayton. He loves to cook and enjoys food just like any 2 year old so I thought he would like to see "Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs". It seems like a weird movie but a lot of people I know with small kids took them to the theater to see it so I'm assuming it is a "kid-friendly" movie. I appreciate renting movies and watching them at home versus running after Clayton all around a movie theater. Its cheaper and less stressful on me!
I am hoping that venturing out with the boys today is not a bad idea but rather a good one.
Either way, I've got to learn someday how to juggle them both alone because I know a deployment will be in my future someday and I'll be forced to do learn. I'd rather prepare myself and learn now than later.
Hope that the rest of you out there whether at home or work have a great day and no matter the weather you are experiencing enjoy venturing out with your small ones.
