"cause it's a long trip alone..."

I made it home alive to post pictures so I'm quite excited about that! It happened fast.... Julie and I (also known at work as "the bookends") parted ways. She went south to Dallas, TX and I headed east to Wisconsin. We left Sunday morning from Eastern Oregon and met up in Salt Lake City, and that's where we hugged goodbye. I drove to Laramie, WY and stayed the night there after getting caught in 2 snow storms (and not to mention, my gas light was on)...... I was so frazzled once I got to the hotel that I'm sure my hair looked permed! So the next morning we left, and it took 15 hours to get home. Boy, were they surprised!!! I love to surprise people just as much as I love to be surprised.... as long as it's good! The next morning Dad took the "boys" for a walk and swim in the pond. Us three girls stayed in the house peeking out the window as dad was practically skipping down the road. An absolute comic to watch the three dogs walk dad. It feels good to be home right now, and it'll be good for me. I can't wait to show Bink all the places that I love here. As I float in the pond, Bink can swim besides me... we can run on the beach together...... walk out to the lighthouse.... Now I'm just waiting for the sun to start shining! As far as unpacking my car..... that will have to wait! Thanks again Waldos and Diane :) Miss you all ~hugs~

p.s- for those of you who are wondering, I'm done twiddling my thumbs :)
