DONT STEP ON MY BLUE SUEDE SHOES

That's right people- we are in Memphis! We have actually had a really good time in our travels. The kids have all been good and so has the dog. The country is beautiful- as soon as we entered Oklahoma and even in Arkansas we saw lots of flats prairie lands, barns, white cows, and lots and lots of crosses, and lots of "Jesus" stuff- like "Jesus Saves" and the " infant Jesus of Prague seminole" whatever that was. We are in the bible belt for sure. Everyone has been nice and the kids are having a good time seeing all the different things each state has to offer.
As for me- I have my silent tears moments because I just cant grip the fact that I'm not in "Kansas" anymore. Dorothy was right when she said "there's no place like home."
I miss St.George like crazy but I have to be a big girl, "cuz big girls don't cry." We are heading over to see Graceland today so I need to get my butt off the couch and head to the shower.
Even though I don't blog each of you personally- don't think I don't think about you all

What a fun experience to see all those new places. I'm jealous, cause I would love to travel across the US seeing as many states as I can. I know that you will be welcomed to Georgia by all who meet you, cause you're all just so dang cute!! Maybe I'll have to come visit, I'll make sure to bring my poo flinging child with me! You can tell Coop to fold his arms and be reverent too!

What the crasnotch? I can't believe you didn't even say goodbye. I was in shock while at Marshae's b-day party to hear you guys had left - holy cow. Okay, seriously now, that's cool that you guys are having a good time driving across the country. We have done it twice (from Utah to South Carolina and vice versa) and I also love the drive and love seeing the different sights and stuff. Road trips are great. Good Luck to you guys, drive safe and rock on.
p.s. Is Desp. Housewives really that appropriate to watch????? :)

If big girls don't cry then I will probably never get that title! I bawl like a baby all the time, and I am not moving far away.

THE CHRIS' said...

you better be thinking of me, cause we are sure thinking of you. Sucks to have you so far away! I drive past your house too often and it is too sad! I guess people move on and I am sure you will love it. Keep us all posted! BTW, I hope you can get gas out east or you will get stranded!

Perfect song choice, only you can do that. I shed a tear...ok maybe two.
So, what is new? Andi is shooting Bri's senior photos on sunday, Lonia and I will tag along for a few pics, she wants to wait till her braces come off to do the majority of hers but we couldn't pass up going to Modena. Donna had a tailgate picnic with Cedar City last night, I would let her tell you all about that but we all know she doesn't blog (I am working on that by the way) and I am just sitting at home missing you wondering if the house is unpacked yet and thinking you may need me to come out there to help cuz I can't even begin to imagine how over whelmed you are. Feel my love baby girl. Love ya tons

About Me

My photo
Adam and I have been married now for 14 years! To make a long story short- we met at the end of June, had our first date on July 4th, and were married on Sept 1, 1995. All I have to say, is "it was in his kiss." Adam is now a regional manager with Vita-mix. It has been a great blessing to have him here at home so that he can witness his children doing and saying all the fun things they do. We love where we live, but really do miss living close to both our parents and siblings. We have so much fun when we are all together and I am so lucky to have 4 fun loving wonderful sister in laws,lots of friends and 4 amazing BEST friends to hang out with. I know many of you will find this shocking but one of my best friends is my mother in law! I know that I can call on her at any time just to share a good laugh. She has given me the best thing a woman can give away- her son. I know- grab the tissue, I'll wait. Seriously- I love life and above all I am so grateful to know that MY FAMILY IS FOREVER!
