turn that leaf back over dangit!

well, as you all know, i moved back to the dirty south this past week. it was one long, uncomfortable drive! im convinced wyoming and nebraska serve no other purpose on this planet then to go on forever and ever and piss me off. belle however loves to travel and was very content with her rawhide in the back seat for the most part, but a few times she couldnt resist to share the front with josh or i.
chicago was very very cold. northern cold, western cold, southern cold..they are all different and the northern cold is very chilly and the wind is brutal. we spent saturday in chicago walking around and sightseeing. the first thing we did was got chicago hot dogs and the same place ellen, kaycie and i had gone to three years ago. they were just as good and still my favorite. my aunt and uncle met us up there that evening and we went and got some deep dish chicago pizza for dinner to celebrate my 21st and ellen getting into byu provo. we are all so proud of her and all she accomplished this year and are so excited for her to be the first cougar!
the drive from chicago to nc wasnt too bad. we ran into a little car trouble in kentucky and a very nice man helped us out. he even bought a new battery and helped josh put it in. it really sucked to be stranded.
530am on tuesday i finally made it to my grandmas house and i slept a lot.

its good to be home i think. i miss utah, and my friends back there. but i am much happier now and things will slowly start to fall into place i think. i guess we will see!

having recently made the move back east and really starting over from scratch i totally empathize. when we first moved here i cried everyday i think. we've been totally broke and there seemed to be no light at the end of the tunnel. we are so out of our element and we miss our friends and the things that were familiar to us.. slowly things are looking up though.
