Kidnapped!

I got kidnapped and this is how it started on the 6th of March.

Yes names have been changed to protect the innocent, HAHAHA!!! It is true we are both night owls but heck I am not sure we are vampires who can go days without sleep.

I am not sure who was more surprised me, her, the kids, or the spouse. HA!  I had a short window to be ready and have everything I thought I needed as I tried to make sure everything was covered for my kids.  They were covered after a quick chat with their daddy and they were good.  I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get everything ready before I got the last text that day.

Yep that is right I had 2 hours to pull everything together and I did it!!! My kids were so sad to see me go but heck they were fine and they had a good time with daddy.

This was the sight as we were trying to leave town.

It was a parking lot forever!

After a while we came across Vegas. and this is all I could get of that while we were trying to find a bathroom in the middle of the night and everything is closed.

Our approach of the city 15 minutes before midnight.

We stopped at a red light 10 minutes before midnight looking for a bathroom since we were laughing so hard and everything was closed. Who knew Vegas closed on a Friday night?

Yes blurry as we were headed out of town.  This was taken about 5 minutes after midnight.

We drove and laughed the whole way down and we finally arrived all in one piece and trying so hard not to be too crazy but that is really hard when you don't sleep for over a day.  We arrived at about 5:20 in the morning and we needed to find a place to use the bathroom again, and the only place we could find was a Ralph's or something like that. After we parked I took one last picture before we called it a night I mean day.

Trying too hard to keep it together makes one a little loopy.

After sleeping for about 2.5 hours we were up and at them. I went outside since the sun was shining and took a picture and sent it to my sister who was texting me as we were headed out of town to begin with. She is in New Jersey and it snowed lots, so what did I do you ask... I sent her these nice pictures of the pool.  I am the best ever!  HA HA!!

Warn and sunny. Sent it to my sister who is in the snow. Are I mean or what?

It was SO beautiful!!!

The SHED. Daa daa daa!

Yes we were going to help clean out this shed.  It was so much fun!!!  I can't remember the last time I had so much fun cleaning. HAHAHA!!!  

Yep that is right it was HOT!  I loved it and wasn't ready to leave.

We got super dirty and found so many treasures and got so much done.  

Money that we found!

And we have now decided that money isn't worth everything. HAHA!

We cleaned Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.  Monday afternoon after we were done cleaning I took these pictures.  I forgot to get before picture which is a shame but on well now we don't need to worry about it any more because it looked like this when we left Tuesday morning!

After cleaning. Yes we didn't get a before picture.

yes those shelves were covered in stuff that we got rid of.

What do you know more space than before.

Right where that vacuum is where there were boxes and boxes of books that we went through and found lots of pictures.

No need for a little path, there is now a walkway.

Us scanning pictures we found until who knows how late we were up.  We were having a party and we were the only ones invited so too bad!  HAHAHA!!!

Now the tools are accessible.

was full of clothes and now is empty and ready for it's next adventure.

Tools organized and labeled thanks to the amazing Crystal.

You open the door and this is what you see, space!

It is all clean and organized our job was done, and heck it only took three days!!  So very proud of us!

Beautiful weather! Loved it!!

 We headed back Tuesday morning and this is what we were leaving behind us.  It was great to get some much needed sun and be able to help someone in need.

On the road again.

Then we come to the middle of no where.  LOL!  Lots of ups and downs.

See nothing but blue sky.

Hey there is that sigh people take pictures of, but we didn't stop I just snapped a picture anyway.

We found the "little" green men! Ok so they were huge but completely green.

Peace out!

Yes we parked by one of these signs.  LOL!  I was not driving.

I think that if they came in this they would have never survived.

My hair really liked the green dude. HA HA!

We figured this place was infested with green "people" and we didn't buy anything here.

Told you they were everywhere!  They were even moving their heads!

They are coming to get us!!!  Eek!!!

Last shot before we hit the road again.

 We made it to VEGAS, now where to park????

Saw these so much while we were there and they were noisy.

Couldn't figure out what was keeping him up.

At the place we had dinner before we left town.

Last pictures before leaving town.

Last picture after lots of laughs and having a blast all afternoon.

Tried to get a picture of the blue water thing, as we were driving out of town.

After leaving Vegas at 9 we head back home.  Yes we know we have not gotten the best sleep but I had to work the next day and take Nikole and Rhett to the orthodontist in the afternoon.  We finally arrived at my house at 5:30 am and hurry and unload my stuff which was two bags, my computer, and 3 boxes of books.  So little compared to what she would have to unload.  I helped move seats so she wouldn't have to unload her car in order to take kids to school. Then I went in and started getting kids up and getting ready for the day.  Let's just say, by the time I went to bed that night I had been up for 40 hours.  But the trip was so worth it, and would love to do it again.
