as you all know, i got to des moines, iowa today. the drive was fine. nothing exciting. i drove for about 11 1/2 hours today or 750 miles. i entertained the thought of going strainght through which would have been a total of about 16 hours and about 1100 miles. i obviously changed my mind which i know you all are glad to hear. the strangest part about the drive is that most of the way i listened to nothing. i tried listening to bar review lectures on cd, unfortunately, they put me to sleep. not so good when driving. fyi: if anyone ever needs some great non-medicated sleep aids, i've got what you need! and plenty to go around.
well, most of the trip is over-only about 4 to 5 hours left. at first i was worried that the drive would be so taxing that i would not want to come back to so cal to pick up the rest of my things and do the drive again. but now, i am not worried, the drive has been so enjoyable, especially from san jorge to breckenridge. now, i am actually looking forward to doing it again! the 2 things that make the drive so worth it are seeing all of you guys and then the next day seeing my sister. when i first planned the trip, i thought that i would be going out of my way to see my sister. but i didn't care, it's my sister. then i realized that she is actually on the way. i only had to veer off the highway for about 10 minutes to get to her house. we had a lot of fun. the weather was cold and snowy, but we went shopping...ya know. she, melanie, lives in downtown breckenridge, so we could walk to all the restaurants and bars and not worry about driving and parking.
i'll post pictures when i get them developed or if i can't then you guys can access them through my winkflash account.
anyway, i guess that's it for this post, but i love this blog thing! it's so much fun! love ya guys, lu.

I remember that part of I-70 going into Co. and it IS sooo gorgeous. Plus, when you get to stop and rest a day inbetween drives then yeah, it wouldn't be too bad. I could use some of those study CD's because I was up 'till 1 lastnight watching movies... just couldn't turn my brain off. Good luck today arriving at your destination.
I cannot belive you drove 11 1/2 hours that is crazy. It's great that you have two good stops on your way out there, that helps. Let us know when you finally get to your new home, k.
