Now that the dust has settled....

I am writing today from Las Vegas. I have just completed a very successful Air Monitoring Conference here. The clients were VERY pleased, which makes me happy! There has been a lot of work going into the first time conference, and the attendance was far better than expected. We weren't in the riztiest of hotels in Las Vegas, but hey.. its a GOVERNMENT conference... if they expected the Bellagio, then they were crazy... The hotel staff were fantastic, and it made my job a whole lot easier. I got lots of gifts too!!

So after I dropped the bomb about the baby, I hopped on a plane to Vegas on Friday night. My mom decided it was high time that she visited sin city.. so she met me out there on Friday night.. We were greeted with a limo to the hotel which was nice... Saturday we decided to go to the Hoover Dam, so mom rented a car... Little did we know that we were about to get an upgrade.. A Mustang Shelby GT500! We were definitely checked out by the men. We went to see "O" another cirque du soleil show.. and it was FANTASTIC.. definitely worth the money. Sunday, I had to get to work, and my mom jumped in and helped (I decided it was payback time for all the times I was dragged in to her office to help her out!) She was a trooper and a great help! I gave her some downtime, so I hope that she got to see the highlights of the strip. She flew home yesterday, and today the conference ended. Tonight, my wonderful hubby flies in, and we have a couple of days to play. I have to go and get my gambling in before he gets here though.. he will put the kabash on gambling when he arrives, so I've got to blow (I mean WIN) my money now!

So, now that the dust has settled, I guess I should apologize to some of my close friends who found out about the blessed event via email... Not very personal, I admit. I was pretty excited that we finally saw the heartbeat, that I felt it was time to tell everyone... Unfortunately, I had to leave for a week, and I didn't want the news to wait. I promise I'll get around to calling you guys, I have just been completely swamped with work lately... My apologies if I upset anyone!

As soon as I get home with the sonogram pictures, we will scan them and post them... stay tuned!

Well, I'm off to gamble.. I've got 11 hours until Steve arrives! Wish me luck!!
