I don't think there could be a more accurate description of this sign and of the state after 34 hours in a car driving across the country!! I love this state! I am so glad that Tommy and I were able to drive safely across the country with Betsy, Meme and Abbie. We were all so happy to get here and a little hysterically delirious by the time we crossed the state line, but if we can survive what we'd been through, we could survive a little hysteria!
In Nebraska we drove into the biggest storm I have ever seen. And that's saying a lot. The sheer amount of water that that storm poured out was amazing. Its like a cloud evaporated and entire ocean and was dropping it over the interstate all at once. Luckily, Tommy was driving or else I would have killed us all! Meme was driving the other car, and she did a very good job too. We eventually stopped 3 hours away from where we had planned to stop because we literally couldn't see to drive any further! After 7 hours of sleep we were all refreshed and ready to go. It was STILL raining, so we had to drive a little slower than we usually would have. We got home around eleven that night. We saw all of our family and we have been having a great time since!
We don't move into our apartment until Thursday, but our parents have been so nice and have been letting us stay with them. But I am SO excited about getting into our own place!
Tommy is working today, with an old job he had. He loves landscaping, and so he picked up hours this week with his old boss/life influencing family friend. I think it makes him happy to be doing something to make money, I just feel so bad for him! I had an interview today, and accepted my job at the hospital! The drug test is in the works. Yay!! We are progressing!!!
I am 25 weeks this week, and John Junior has never kicked this much. I think if I wake up one more time at night just because he is moving I might just freak out. There is nothing I hate more than wanting to be asleep, and staring at the ceiling instead. But everyone keeps saying it will get worse it will get worse..blah blah blah. Except for waking up at night, it hasn't gotten any worse really. So HA!
