  • The Adventure HOME!!!!

    It is dangerous for a national candidate to say things that people might remember. - Eugene McCarthy
    I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. - Noel Coward
     
    It's not that I don't appreciate the quotes they post every day for me on iGoogle. It's just that so many of them actually provoke thought in me (which is, I suppose, what they are meant to do).
     
    Drew and I starting driving for Minnesota from Colorado on our return journey around noon yesterday (had to get some last minute Sonic). The weather was gorgeous. The roads were clear. We were awake and full (Sonic). I started out driving. I only tried to get us lost once, too! We were in Brush, Colorado and missed a turn that took us to Sterling, Colorado. My bad... At the very least, I got to use the Garmin nĂ¼vi that I got for Christmas. It got us going in the right direction very soon after my little blunder. From there, I drove until Kearney, Nebraska where we spent two hours with my boyfriend and his parents. I'm glad we stopped, too. I was starving. After that good time, we left towards Lincoln, Nebraska. We got all the way up through Iowa when our next big, wonderful adventure occurred. We were pulled over for speeding! Yay! We're over it...  The following battle was who could stay awake and not kill us until we got back home. We were both getting super tired. I was coughing badly and just felt badly. I think this has something to do with my lack of eating real food... and possibly being sick. Drew hadn't gotten a really good sleep the night before. Anyway, one Red Bull later and several conversation to keeps our minds afloat, Drew and I are on the merry and icey roads outside of Fargo, North Dakota. Once on I-94, we were pretty much awake because our newfound appreciation for our own beds started to dominate our thoughts.
    We made it home safe and sound, and I only coughed a little bit because it was twenty-one below (cold air no good for cough).
