Last Week

Since it's been two weeks since either of us posted something, I guess we should update everyone on the latest. This has been my last week of not working. I officially start at Wachovia on Mon. Oct 5. A little excited to get back into the working world, but I am going to miss all the perks of not working. Anyways, here is a recap of what has been taking place these last few weeks.

The week of the 20th involved getting our vehicles ready to make the trip to the CA DMV. That meant getting smog tests done. My car passed with no problems. Ross' on the other hand....well let's just say that wasn't a cheap trip. A couple hoses had to be replaced before it would pass the smog test. So once we got that fixed, we headed to the DMV on Fri the 25th. That was two and a half hours of expensive fun. So now both vehicles are officially registered in California. We still have Colorado drivers licenses and are going to hang on to those as long as we can since it costs $30 to get a California one, plus you have to take a written test. Apparently California has it's own special driving laws.

After our expensive week of smog tests, repairs, and vehicle registrations, we decided it would be nice to take a trip up to Las Vegas. Thanks to me not having a job, Ross not having school on Mon the 28, Ross winning the last time we were in Vegas, and finding a room for only $19 a night, we left Sun morning to enjoy two days in Sin City. After the boring 4 hour drive, we made it to the Sahara hotel in time to watch the Broncos win another game and then it was off to try and hit it big. Unfortunately we didn't hit the jackpot like Mom did when she was there last, but we were at least able to play all night long. I even had some money left over to play Mon morning before we went to the Titanic Exhibit at the Luxor, which was amazing! We got home Mon evening around 7:00pm and poor Ross had a little homework to finish. But overall it was a nice "weekend" getaway.
