Road Trip - Day 3

So, yesterday was all Nebraska - so boring! Today was Wyoming - boring AND crazy. So here's our little adventure of today... We leave the hotel and go to breakfast and decide we should have enough gas to make it to lunch then we'll eat and fill up. A little after 10 we see there's about a quarter tank left so we decide to stop at the next gas station since we're about to start going up the mountains. We see a sign for a gas station and get there (and its the only anything for miles) and its abandoned! We check the Tom Tom and the next gas station on there is 85 miles away. We probably could have made it but after this abandoned place we decide not to chance it. So we turn around and go back about 20 miles in the other direction to fill up (in crazy land.) Aright so we drove an extra 40 miles - could have been worse. Well we get back on track going west and pass the abandoned place and see a sign about 50 miles past that or so for gas and think DAMN! Well, we pass that one and can see from the expressway that its abandoned too. Turns out I must have counted at least 7 or 8 abandoned gas stations today. Ha! Don't let your tank get low in Wyoming! I have a new slogan for the welcome sign: "Welcome to Wyoming! Land of abandoned gas stations!" Although, I didn't get to read that sign so who knows, maybe we were warned!

Now we are in Park City, Utah (home of Sundance Film Festival according to Doug.) The good part about Utah (and I use the word good loosely) is that it is the most scenic state yet.

Tomorrow we stop in Truckee, CA (Lake Tahoe) and then we will be in SF by Wednesday morning.

Road Trip - Day 1

Today we set off from Minnesota and are now staying in Lincoln, NE. It was about 6 and a half BORING hours (seriously, southern MN, Iowa, and Nebraska are nothing land!) The hotel we are staying in is really weird, like moist. The carpets kinda moist, paper stuff around is a little curled, its really uncomfortable.

Tomorrow its Wyoming. Thank god for Sirius' Hip Hop Nation. These are perhaps the whitest states in the country.

Bella being sad because she (seriously) hasn't figured out how to lay down in the car.

"the good life"? Really?! I beg to differ.

6 hours later Bella finally figured out how to lay down.

Finally laying down with the pink dog toy... what a rough day!

Josh's Wedding

Well we went home this past weekend for my cousin Josh's wedding and it was a success. The bride was gorgeous, the food was good, and my mom fell flat on her ass on the dance floor (and she was the DD). I always say it's not a party until my mom shows her ass. I guess if I'm picking on my mom though, I should point out my embarrassing moments...
The first appetizer I put in my mouth was a stuffed mushroom and when I tried to bite into it all the stuffing landed on my dress. Also, an entire glass of water slid out of my hand and onto the front of my dress. At least it washed out the mushroom stuffing.

Watch those hands mister, this is church.

Me and hubby.

Boys. There is only one here who I don't know, and don't think I'm related to... am I?

Baaayngin' New Hair

This is why I will always go back to Jason in Rochester no matter how long we've been away. And this isn't even the greatest picture!

Moving Day

I am posting while 4 dudes carry my stuff around. Awesome.
However 3 of them only speak Spanish so I look stupid trying to talk to them.
