So far...

Well, I'm in Utah. Vernal to be exact, and my highlights (and lowlights) from the 15 hours of driving so far include:

1. Listening to Jaxton ask if we were there yet about 25 minutes after we left Tulsa.
2. Watching a REAL high speed chase in the middle of Kansas in my rear view mirror. The police threw those spikey things in the road right after I passed them, the car swerved to miss them and everything, it was awesome!! They caught him, don't worry.
3. Having Daniel call about every hour to see what gas mileage we were getting in the minivan and how it was running (approximately 22 mph and it's practically brand new dude).
4. Seeing a chocolate covered twinkie in a candy store in Steamboat Springs. Still kicking myself for not buying it and eating the dang thing.
5. Getting a speeding ticket in the middle of butt nowhere Colorado by the ONLY cop that we passed in the entire state of Colorado. Come on buddy, I was only going 80 in a 65 and NOBODY else was even on the road, well except for you. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I'll keep you posted. Loves to all back in Oklahoma, keep me posted if anything exciting happens (Fig, you better post a blonde picture asap on the map). Can't wait to see my chums in Utah and get Daniel's sister hitched in California. Good times to be had!!! HOORAY for everything!!

A day at the pool...






GOOD TIMES!!!

I'm thinking...

that arranged marriages are a great idea!!! Who could ask for a cuter daughter in law than Kate? She is beautiful, she's spunky, she has a fabulous family and Jaxton is a happy boy!!!

The whole family stopped and stared at me with their mouths wide open. I explained to them that it came from Ace Venture saying "Holy Testicle Tuesday" and they all bust out laughing. I still had no idea what testicles were but I was embarrassed. It's even more embarrassing now that I do know what testicles are!!!!

There you have it. Hope you enjoyed!!! Maybe I'll get crazy and do 100 more.
