road trip update!

Hello blogging world! We left El Paso around 0545 (mountain time) Saturday morning and made it to my mom's around 0530 (central time). We made our 26 hour drive in 23 hours! Woooo! It was a very good drive. Aside from the usual boredom and tunnel vision, we got to experience some good rain storms in Oklahoma and Missouri and some killer fog in Illinois. Of course I had a mini panic attack when we had to go over the big bridges and another one when I thought we'd gone over all of them and then realized we still had one more to cross. Haha. Only took about $125 to fill up along the way and overall $175 since we filled up again once we got to my mom's. Not bad at all. Definitely much cheaper than buying plane tickets. We made Conner a little movie fort in the back seat. He loved it.

Once we got here, we napped for a few hours and then hung out with my mom and her husband. Went to the store for some food and then slept really good last night. Today we went and got an oil change and Conner is swimming right now. It's so nice out. Bubba (mom's dog) sure did miss us! He has gotten so much bigger in the 3 weeks I've been back in El Paso.

Well, need to go do some school work. Exciting rest of the week!

Love, Me.
