Our Drive to Utah-July 15-17, 2008

On Tuesday July 15th we left Fort Rucker. We drove 14 hours to Clint's sister's house in Springfield, Missouri. The drive wasn't too bad except for how tired we were. This is a picture of all 4 of us in the truck. If you look close you can see Nobi on the floor below my feet.
This was Morgan the whole time. Happy and smiling! She was so good we couldn't believe it
Poor Nobi tried so hard to get comfortable. He was mostly under the seat with his head sticking out. At one point he was right under my feet with all 4 legs in the air.

Seriously, Morgan was such an angel. She cried maybe twice and it was toward the end of our trip. We sure are blessed to have such a good baby
We got to Kristen's house at 3:30 in the morning. Poor Clint was exhausted from driving. Kristen has a little Chiwawa named Tika. Nobi loved her, though Tika was a little unsure of him.
Tika did love Morgan though. She loved having someone her own size to play with, and so did Morgan.
We got up around 8 and played some Guitar Hero for a bit. Then we went to lunch at a place called Rib Crib. It was the best BBQ I've had in a long time.
Kristen and her husband, Clint. Thanks guys for letting us stay with you. It was good to see you!
The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument in Nebraska. This was about half way between Kristen's and Utah, so we were excited.

It took us 23 hours to drive from Kristen's house to Clint's parent's house and we drove it straight through. Clint was so tired and worn out. Morgan got a little fussy the last 3 hours or so, but I think its because it was 8 o'clock and still really light outside. So her body was telling her it wasn't time to go to sleep yet. We got to our destination at 10:30 pm. It was so good to finally be home!

I can't believe that you drove it almost straight from Rucker - insanity! :) I'm glad you are all safe and having some time with family.

Wow, that was fast! We had to drag it out for an entire week. Thank goodness Morgan took it so well! How does it feel to be done and starting over again?

We're still in limbo so it feels like just a vacation. Which I guess it really is. But it doesn't feel like a reality yet that we're moving to Korea. It seems like we're still going back to Alabama and I don't like to think about the fact that we're not.
