Well, I got the official email today from the head of the dance team for stagecoach. No dice on being invited to be on the dance team for the weekend. I’m not going to lie, I’m a bit disappointed. That’s what I was hoping for so bad. Kinda takes away the victory I felt of winning the competition. I still get to go because I did win a ticket for stagecoach. But knowing all my closest dance friends will be there teaching and I won’t be is gonna hurt a little bit....
So frustrated and disappointed right now... :(

Really cool aviation geek moment this morning. Caught sight of the UAE government Boeing 747-400 parked on the VIP ramp at LAX this morning driving in. I love the jumbos.

So we stayed a day and a half visiting my moms half brother that lives in Natick, Mass (the crazy Italian side of my family that I love to pieces, uncle Bobby, aunt Jan(who’s ENGLISH!!) and cousin Stephanie). drove north to Vermont today, to start dealing with family stuff the next few days. Picked up a rental car last night and they gave us a Kia Soul. This morning my mom was so annoyed that it was so small and not going to do what we needed it to. On the way out she called enterprise and they upgraded us and put us in a brand new Tacoma, as a courtesy. It’s a nice change. But still kinda gutless, compared to my Nali’. I had to remind myself of that on the three hour drive up here hahaha. I couldn’t pass and get up and go as quickly as I’m used to with my Nali’.

Better upgrade. I’m in love with the new Tacoma’s looks . Never rode or drove one so that part idk lol. Would never own one as they’re just too small.
When I was in AZ we had a small sedan for a rental, I showed up and they had none available. After showing my frustration they upgraded me to a 4 door wrangler (hell yea!) , for only an extra $10 a day. So I was paying like $50 a day for a Jeep that’s usually $120, in AZ!

I’m realizing how spoiled I am in having a custom tuned ride back home! Haha. Denali just does what I want it when it comes to throttle input, holding steady speeds, and eh lol. This thing is all over the board! Shifting is horrible! I constantly kept having to give it throttle input to just keep it moving and at steady speeds up even small hills on the interstates... the adaptive cruise is also terrible. Lol.

I knew this trip back here was going to be difficult. And but I didn’t expect to have so many emotions at my grammy’s celebration of life yesterday. The necessary days in life are the hardest I guess.... but at least the family made it special and very loving. So much history in our family.

The memories from May of last year when my grandparents came out to California for three and a half weeks were so special. I got the privilege of spending mother’s day with both my mom and my Grammy: E6A69C9B-7AE8-4E23-B7DE-578AC2E2235B.jpeg
And got to have Grammy at Wyatt’s where I teach line dancing that same week. It’s such a good memory. 4E25D8A0-1E71-4118-BE81-A443881F1E8A.jpeg

So my friend Lisa drives down to pick me from LAX. I call her to ask where she is and her response is “I just pulled into the terminal but a taxi cab rear ended your truck....”
Fuuuuuuck! The last thing I need today. Thankfully it was a slow small bump and his front bumper Was so low it my receiver hitch. No damage to my truck. But I was ready to go batshit crazy on the idiot. I swear the taxi drivers get more and more stupid.
