TRIP

well San Angelo Texas is now something of the past! Daniel graduated on Friday the 19th and it was so so nice, he looked very handsome! My grandma flew down from Utah to be here for the graduation, thank you thank you! My sister, mom and 3 boys came over also, their support in this endeavor in our life is so wonderful and very needed! One of the speakers said something that rang very true, he said lots of "you might be a fire fighter if...." "every shirt in your wardrobe says you are!" Oh so true!
Kael was just loving every second of Daniel time! And Daniel loved every second of our family time :) Saturday morning we finished loading up and started our trek, we drove about 8+ hours to Monroe, Louisiana. The drive the first day went well I jotted down some facts about each place...


"Smile for Louisiana!" Daniel drove the majority of the time.We misssed the Louisiana sign but it still states it!
LOUISIANA (Saturday)
~in our fancy hotel room there was a lizard on the wall in our room, sweet and oh so freaky. Daniel escorted it outside!
~At the pool a woman was topless walking by the pool, wow!!!
~there was mold under the ac unit, adn it was the black bad kind... (I complained and she said, "thanks for letting me know I'll have someone take care of it!" ) what no discount??? ah
~ I was given a deposit refund check before we left Texas and we decided to find a bank(wells fargo) on the way. I asked a woman in LA if they happened to have Wells Fargo's here and she said..."what's wells fargo?" "it's a bank!" "I never heard of that" "awesome thanks anyway" (no tv I guess) Now I'm on the east with a check and my bank doesn't exist here... great!
~ Lots of swampy wetland, very green and gorgious!
MISSISSIPPI (SUNDAY)

ALABAMA (SUNDAY)
Very large 5+ foot snake, I took the dogs on a walk and we were greeted with this, Teddi found it.

~a woman behind the counter when I was buying a collectable she said she wants to collect... "bails" (which is bells with no accent)
Teddi got a little bored with the back seat

GEORGIA (Sunday)


~hand soap spilled all over me and the bag that was housing it
~watched a lady blow a tire, we pulled over to help her and she got out of the car lets just say a little/lot scantilly clad... whoa

~churches everywhere... one called "church in the NOW"
~found a taco bell on the border of Georgia
~7 hours of sleep without any interuptions from the dogs, woo hoo

Thanks for blogging the pics before you are internetless! We love you and miss you already. Kaeson asks all the time if you are in another state now. And he talks about North Carolina. I wish I could remember how he pronounces it though. It's hilarious. Have fun there. And don't worry, you'll love it there, you always do! I love you!

I have been waiting for an updated blog for so long. The girls have been sick for the last week and my only contact with the outside world is reading blogs while they lay all over me. I am so happy for the both of you! I hope you love your new house and everything is going well!
