Oh Amber, that makes me too tired to think about! I am dreading going to Cedar City tomorrow and wondering how I am going to make the 2 1/2 hr drive!

I was going to say the EXACT same thing as Char…you’re gonna need something much stronger than Prozac

When my parents drove cross country with their 6 kids it was only to move, never for a “pleasure” trip. Congratulations and good luck!

And get some of those noise-canceling headphones! They are great, even when you’re not listening to music, just trying to drown out all the whining you’ll be hearing.

ARE YOU INSANE? I THOUGHT WE WERE CRAZY FOR DRIVING TO COLORADO AND IT’S ONLY ABOUT 11-12 HOURS. You’ll have fun though. Oh, are you still at the apartment address? Ryan has a blessing certificate he needs to send you.

Eleven days?! My wee tiny attention span is seriously suffering here. I read through ever single post in your archives, and it’s still not enough.

Hurry back!
