I am on the airplane headed to Las Vegas. I cannot wait to get there. My love is already there with some of us his buddies. It makes my heart happy that he misses me even though he has his friends to pal around with. I love spending time with him. We truly have something special together.
This will be a short trip, arriving around 9 PM tonight, and returning on Monday evening. We were supposed to return on Tuesday, but I was afraid the flight would be delayed or something, and that I would miss Little Chirp’s award ceremony on Tuesday.
Not only am I arriving in Las Vegas tonight, I also got to spend time with my favoritest human, Brainy Bird. He rolled in from college around noon today, and we enjoyed a lunch at Lupe Tortilla. Lupe is one of his favorite places to eat.
Of course, we did the height comparison. I fully expected to find that Little Chirp is now taller than Brainy Bird. They appear to be the exact same height. I wonder if they are both finished growing. It would be ironic after all of the debate on who would be taller for them to wind up being the same height.
Brainy Bird and I had a great lunch. On the drive back to the house, he joked with me that he did not like Little Chirp being so tall, that he is the tall one. I have pictures of Brainy Bird easily resting his fore arm on Little Chirp’s head. It is an amazing experience to watch them grow, not just in height but in every aspect of life.
After lunch, Brainy Bird made his first ever call to the IRS. They had to verify his identity as he filed his first ever independent tax return. Brainy Bird gave me one more hug before we headed out the door together. I headed to the airport, and he headed to his dad’s house. He told me that he plans to sleep most of the weekend before he leaves for Germany on Sunday. I am really excited for him. So much adventure and learning lies ahead.
I am off to Vegas, and he is off to another country! Of we go!!!
