On the way to work this morning, I considered actually crying over the weather, it’s been so terrible lately. We still haven’t had anything really approaching summer, and I’ve been wearing my cold-weather clothes all week. I didn’t think when we booked a trip to Vegas for my birthday that we’d be escaping Minnesota weather in June, but there it is.<\/p>\n
Reprieve is at hand, however, via a 4:00 flight. We’re flying out with Missy and Joe tonight, who are visiting Las Vegas for their first! time! ever!<\/em>, so we’re looking forward to showing them around. Tomorrow we’ll be joined by Sarah, Doran, Wendy, Amelia, Bill, and Katie, and then the awesome will be in full-force.<\/p>\n I’m turning 40 on Saturday, which is kind of a shock. I don’t feel 40, especially in the brain region. I’m just really excited to celebrate that potentially-depressing milestone surrounded by a bunch of my favorite people, and then I get to laugh at them in coming years when they get there, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On the way to work this morning, I considered actually crying over the weather, it’s been so terrible lately.
