Out on the Open Road

Hi.

Ready to hear something totally disgusting?  Ok, so I decided it was high time to clean out our vacuum cleaner this week.  Obviously, I'd emptied out the tank multiple times, but I hadn't gotten around to cleaning out the filter.  This resulted in me completely taking apart our vacuum, and washing with soap and a sponge.  It was horrifying.  Truly.

My disgust was furthered when I decided to vacuum with my newly cleaned appliance and it filled up right away again.  Guys- it's not like I don't clean either; I probably vacuum at least twice a week on a regular basis.  Gross.

Anyway, I just came across some pictures from back in the day.  First, check out this dish.

This picture was taken when Jered and I drove to Missouri to meet Tanis. We made the trip to pick up Carter and Tyler and bring them back with us.


I wish I had the video to share with you because Tyler decided to sing a lot of the way home.  Carter read The Magician's Nephew the entire way back. 


Somewhere after dinner time, when it was starting to get dark, a storm hit.  You might remember it- it was the night all those tornadoes plowed through Missouri.  Later we found out Tanis had to drive through it.  We were just reaping some of the side effects.  Heavy rain.  Heavy, heavy rain.  To the point that Jered almost had to pull over because he couldn't see at all.

Needless to say, the drive home ended up being pretty long, and rather than going all the way back to his house that night, Jered and the boys camped out in our back room for the night.

In addition to all of this, Jered had a bad case of "The Ivy," and was incredibly grouchy.

 
Along the way, Jered treated the boys and me to some ice cream.  So all in all, the trip wasn't bad for me... although I didn't envy his position as driver and victim of "The Ivy."

I am pleased to announce that we have another road trip coming up tomorrow!  Jeremy, Kelly, Jered, and I will be venturing to Des Moines to spend the weekend with Jake and Molly.  I am thrilled, as we have been talking about this trip since Christmas break!  In addition to seeing them, Jered and I will also get to visit the town he's considering.

Well, I'm out for now.  I will talk to you later.  Have a great weekend!
