UTAH or BUST!

Okay, so maybe I shouldn't put BUST in the title because we are going to make it! Today is the big day. After Kevin gets home from work this afternoon, we are headed out the door on our next adventure. Watch out Bountiful Utah, the Kyrouac family is on the loose and heading your way!

I am really excited to see my family. It has been about 18 months since I have seen my brother and his family and my little sister who has now graduated from the U of U! I am looking forward to seeing my grandparents and introducing them to William. They have seen pictures but the live version is just as cute if not better. I am also looking forward to spending time with my wonderful friend Cindy and her family. Cindy has had some serious health issues that have altered their lives. I can't imagine my world without my best Utah buddy in it!

Today we are making a run for Texas. Kevin is excited for the fact that he can now say that he has spent time in Texas. He doesn't count layovers in the Houston airport as being in Texas. We are spending the night in Amarillo. The motel we are staying at is helping host a Jehovah Witness convention. We have joked saying we need to stock up on Books for Mormon and Holy water to save ourselves from the JW's. Do you think it will work?

I still have a bunch to do today.....like pack all our clothes, go to the store, hit the bank, gather all the things we want to take, clean out the inside of the van and oh yeah load the van. Our dryer died on us yesterday so Teresa said that I could use her dryer last night. I need to go get my clothes from her then I can pack. I still have laundry to do but that will have to wait until the dryer is fixed when Kevin gets home. I just had the washing machine fixed. I am so glad that we have our home warranty still. That has saved our bacon!

I am really looking forward to this trip and being with family. I miss having family around but with all the wonderful friends that I have here in Bartlesville, the lack of family isn't so tough. I know that I have friends that I can count on when the going gets tough and I need a helping hand. Friends to me are just extended family with no blood relation. I am grateful that I can call my friends family....because that is what they are....FAMILY!

So, look for our upcoming adventures as we head west and cause havoc as we make our way to Bountiful!
