Road Trip
Steve has been working out of town a lot lately. He was gone for almost four weeks. He wasn't gone like a full four weeks. He would be gone a few days, home a few, gone a few. Well, right in the middle of the four weeks he had been gone for a full week straight and we still had almost another week before he came home again. I woke up that Saturday morning missing him so much. I really wanted to get in the car and drive to see him. I looked up how far away it was (he was working in Page Arizona) and discovered that it was 7 hours from here. So all morning long I tried to talk myself out of a road trip. I called my mom and told her we needed to go and do something really fun that day. She was giving me suggestions and asking me what I thought. I told her that I thought I really just felt like driving to AZ to see Steve. She told me I should. So I finally realized that that is what I was going to do. An hour later the kids and I were in the minivan and on our way.
About an hour and a half into the drive I started to get sleepy. I thought, "AHHH! What am I doing? I can't drive for seven hours!" But I did it! The kids were great. Steve was very surprised to see us (I didn't tell him we were coming). We had a blast for the one day we were able to spend with him. We even got to be in AZ for that one thing. Uhmmm, ya know, with the football and the commercials.

That is such a "Snow thing" to do! How very fun and the pictures are gorgeous.
Farrah, the whole time I was driving I was remembering how mom and dad would always do stuff like that and how we would come home from school and they would say, get ready, we are going on a trip. Right now. Good memories.
You have just lived a dream for me. That was amazing. I never gave myself permission to just throw the kids in the car and just go somewhere like that. I think I will, although I'll have to come up with another excuse, as my hubby is never out of town for work.
