on february 8th, i arrived in las vegas. my cousin mark invited me to this private party where buckethead would be playing, and anne's father in law, grant, was having his 60th birthday party at the golden nugget the next day.
this was the first time i got to see anne growing a baby.
she wasn't showing yet, but ryan kept asking me if she looked different.
'not really, ryan.'
'what about her boobs?! they're HUGE.'
'i guess.'
we had that conversation many times during our vegas time together.
buckethead was an incredible show. i was converted. he was so strange and graceful and TALL and wonderful. his hands are the prettiest i've seen, and that's saying something.
at grant's party, ryan's brother brett gave anne a beer bottle with sprite in it and had her walk around, specifically up to his mom, ginny, to see her reaction.
she greeted anne with her pleasant, warm smile, looked at the beer, smiling at anne. back at the beer, face drops and the serious look of alarm and doom replaced the smile.
i think this was when i heard of ryan's aunt joan talking to anne's belly.
we were tired. we slept a lot. vegas will suck the life right out of you. i have some lovely pictures of that trip that i will conjure up and post on here as well...
next chapter, coming soon.
