MARRIED!

Just a quick post to announce that we're married!!



Everything went fabulously and I could not have imagined a more awesome day. I'll get around to posting more pictures later, but for now, I'll focus on enjoying our honeymoon in San Francisco (I already had a yummy In-n-Out burger and strawberry milk shake...MMMM!).

4 states down....4 to go.

Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming....check, check, check, check.

We made it to Spearfish, South Dakota late last night and found a hotel room to crash at. After 13 hours of driving (or, riding, in my case) and 800 miles, I was eager to get some good sleep and realign my back.

Highlights from the day of driving include, but are not limited to:
-Crossing the Clark Fork river 15 times.
-Winning another bet against our friend Erin for not seeing any signs for hamburgers for over 30 miles.
-75 mph speed limits!
-Getting to listen to the K-State football game while driving through Montana State country, the team we were playing and eventually beat 69-10. It's not often that K-State games are broadcast out in Seattle, so that was a pleasant surprise.
-Being a couple weeks too late to attend the Testicle Festival in Montana. Thank goodness!

We're getting ready to hit the road again and make it through South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and 7 miles into Kansas, where I'll finally feel like we're 'home'.

Goldie's Last Hurrah

I write this from the front seat of my car, Goldie.  Just for safety's concern, I should clarify that I'm in the passenger seat, NOT the driver's seat. 

Todd, Goldie, my dress Bella, and I are making the long haul back to Kansas City for our wedding (also our luggage and about 5 boxes of wedding stuff).  Yes, my dress has a name--she has a personality all her own and she's taking up most of the back seat.

Our road trip will be a quick one, as we're eager to get back and get things ready and rollin'.  We left Seattle this afternoon and are currently driving to Todd's parents' house in Idaho where we'll have yummy greek food for dinner and spend the night.

Tomorrow we'll drive through to Rapid City, South Dakota and then Sunday we'll drive to my parents' house in small town northeast Kansas and then rolling into Kansas City on Monday.  I'm excited that we are able to include stops at both parents' and spend a little bit of time with them before things get too excitingly hectic.

Should be fun.  I'll probably post more during this trip than I have the past month :)   Enjoy.
