January 23 - 29 2023

 Monday morning, we checked out of our apartment and started the long drive to Sparks, Nevada. The first night we stopped in Roswell, New Mexico. The next morning, we checked out the UFO Museum before hitting the road again. We stopped in Albuquerque for lunch and then we stayed the night in Flagstaff, AZ. Fun fact: Flagstaff is the highest elevated city in the US outside of Colorado. We started off nice and early the next morning and got to Las Vegas for lunch. We drove through Nevada and stayed the night in Tonopah, NV. Nevada is pretty empty in the middle. 

 Thursday, we got to Sparks, NV in the early afternoon. Paul's brother, Joe, met us over there and helped us move in before he headed home with Andy and Wendy. Friday, we got our internet set up and got new phones since ours were in bad shape. Paul was able to transfer everything easily but the guy that helped me was not able to get the transfer done and I lost all my texts, pictures, and contacts. Luckily, I recovered a lot of my photos on google photos. Mary and I were tired from the road trip and adjusting to the cold, dry weather so we slept most of the day and Paul made us soup and took care of us. 

Saturday, we did some adventuring by driving down to Carson City and driving to see where Paul will be working. We're mostly settled in and are excited about this new chapter. Mary was so great during the whole drive. She now says uh-uh and shakes her head to tell me no, and she is getting better at giving us kisses.

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
