Where have we been all summer? What have you been doing wi your summer of fun?
Well, I'd love to answer that, but there's no time.
We're on the road to Vegas! After 8+ years of Stu's traveling every week at 6 am on Monday morning, we're finally relocating to join him where he lives. It's a big move. Lots of planning. Lots of waiting. Lots of sleepless nights. Lots of traveling.
We left this morning after a week or more of teary goodbyes to friends and family around 9:30, with the goal of getting to Limon, Colorado. Which, we did. We've had a blissfully uneventful trip so far, eaten at a mcdonalds, a subway, and a local Limon hangout. We have a faulty connection in one of the beloved headrest DVD players, but no real problems to speak of. Kids have been well fed and well entertained by movies, scavenger hunts, present unwrapping and tons of goodies delivered by our friends for the trip.
When we crossed the state line into Colorado, it occurred to me that I really feel more like a Kansas girl than a Missouri one. An Independence girl for sure, but my husband, my parents, my college, my work all exist on the other side of the state line. Lea ing all that behind is an interesting process. Who am I, if not a KC local? How am I defined, if not by the friends and family I have, the places I like to go, the work I like to do?
Well, that's why we call it an adventure! Sam's considering going by Samuel out here, which is totally doable! We will have new places to call favorite, a new church home, a new home home! I guess this is where rubber meets road. Who am I, and who do I want to be?
Watch and learn.
