As I said in my previous post we decided to leave Friday evening after Doug got home from work. I managed to pack up the car so that Doug was the only one who had to throw in some last minute items. We headed out around 7:30pm and drove and drove AND drove. I purposely pumped my system with caffeine so I could drive as long as I could. Surprisingly, I made it to nearly 2 am. The last hour was the hardest. I found myself playing mile maker games with my self and air drumming to songs on my ipod (I am sure it was a sight) to stay awake. We had intentions on stopping in El Paso to sleep, but 3 of the hotel offices were dark so we kept on driving. Doug took over for a while and then pulled off the side of a gas station to get a power nap. He was still feeling crappy. I am beginning to think the flu is never going to end! I noticed that Weston was feeling a little warm and have concluded that we have another sick flu member in our family. We arrived in town a little before 9am. It was definitely rough being up all night traveling, but on the flip side the kids slept the entire way making it worth it.
Mom and Dad C. have been treating us like royalty since we have arrived. We basically lounged around all day yesterday, took a much needed nap (I am still seeing mile markers in my head), ran to the store to stock up our mini pharmacy and had a delicious barbecue chicken dinner. We are now pretty much settled for our upcoming crazy week. Monday and Tuesday is house hunting. Wednesday we are trying to make an early temple session and Easter pageant later that night. We just found out our niece is one of the 10 virgins in it. Not sure what Thursday entails, but Friday we are heading to a Padres spring training game. The bummer part is I just realized that I forgot my pillows (aka my blanket) and my cord to upload photos to the computer. I told Doug I may be making a trip to Best Buy for a cord. He thinks I am nuts and said it can wait a week (I beg to differ) So hopefully I will be posting pictures soon. Tonight we are having a birthday celebration for my St. Patty's day baby. I am hoping to check back soon....Oh, and I forgot I just got 6 months of my blog printed. So cool!! I am now loving blurb.com.
blessing: arriving to AZ safely.
