Last Leg of the Drive to Chicago

hi everyone, i got to kellie's parents house about 4 p.m. and was greeted with open arms. i can't believe i thought about driving straight through the night before! good thing i changed my mind because the 5 hour drive on sunday felt like the longest 5 hours of my life. the hydrangeas survived the drive pretty well. in fact the hydrangea that bemy took a clipping from already has new growth that is about 1 inch tall! even the hydrangea that didn't look so good has visible new buds.
after i got to kellie's parents house (mimi and papa), we (mimi, papa, kellie, me and her 2 kids cole and logan) hung out for a little while and then went to dinner at a restaurant/ bar on lake michigan that had a beach feel. it didn't feel like i was that far from so cal even though i was.
kellie's daughter, logan, had to wear her cinderella princess dress to dinner. i think she may have been a little overdressed...
after dinner, i went back to kellie's house. we put cole and logan to bed and then watched "blades of glory." then it started to storm, tons of rain and thunder. the kids got scared and slept with me and kellie in her bed (her husband brandon is out of town.)
at the end of the day, it was a very good birthday. love you guys!

It's so weird to picture you all the way across the country! I am glad you had a happy birthday. I love thunderstorms, that's what I always ask for on my Birthday. Hope you settle in in time for your 1st class today. Good Luck Lu!
