Oh what a week!

So Matt and I have had quite the week. Last week I found a great deal on tickets to Vegas, so I decided to head to Vegas while Matt was going out of town to Miami for work. That was the beginning of a crazy whirlwind of a week that still hasn't ended.

Have I told you all how much I love my Honda Odyssey? Let's just say it was the nicest car I have ever owned and I am completely in love with it. So Matt, on the way to the airport got in what he called a "fender bender" (look at the picture, not quite!) and crunched my beautiful minivan. He had to have it towed to a shop and it caused over $9,000 worth of damage. Thank goodness for insurance! That was supposed to be our ride home from the airport and of course my car for the week, so I am stuck at home with no vehicle. Oh, and when I got home, the battery on the car was dead. Now I am very grateful for modern transportation!

Did I say how much I love my Odyssey??? I couldn't even go look at it, I made Matt go take pictures.

To add to our accident we were supposed to close on our home in IL last friday and we were running around crazy trying to get everything worked out since I was in Vegas, Matt was in Miami, and the closing was in IL. We finally got everything signed and then we waited all day friday to hear it had closed. We were so excited to FINALLY sell it. Well, of all the bad luck, it found us again. The people who were buying from us had the last name Ali and when the money went through the federal reserve to be sent to us, it got flagged as a name that could possibly be associated with terrorists. So apparently they have to go through a background check now. It is now Wednesday and we still haven't closed. Our realtor says it's nothing to worry about, but we are still waiting....

Going to Vegas was actually the best part of the week, but it was crazy traveling by myself with two kids and adjusting to the 2 hour time difference. This was the only picture we could get of the four cousins. Brennon was trying to suck on Tanner's head and Kayla was screaming as usual, poor thing.

Melissa's twins hate the car seats. I felt so bad because my two lived in their car seats. I had to get a picture of them crying together. They are still adorable when crying.

P.S. - I guess I'll have to monitor Matt's posts from now on. Everyone says they were so confused by it. No, we didn't go to LA, it was a mix up. Anyway, I love him for trying.
