no dice

So, I've been back from michigan for a week and I haven't put up the "BIG POST" about the whole thing yet. But now as I sit here, I can't think of what to write for a "BIG POST". So I sit and stare at the screen with nothing too big coming to mind that I haven't already shared. So here is the cliff notes of the whole thing as I remember:

I stay up friday night so that I don't miss my 6am flight. After four planes, I finally land in Flint, MI. It's cold and raining. woot! We don't do much that day because of timing issues and the weather so we chill a bit and have dinner. The next day, bright and early we go get the insulation and start putting it in. It's a big mess and if we didn't have the face masks, we'd have inhaled a lot of paper. That wouldn't have been good for us. We had a lot of trouble figuring out how to get the blower for the insulation to work properly, but once we did, the work went a lot faster. I just wish we'd have known what to do the first day we were working on it. So then after we got that done we were done for the day. The next big project was cleaning up the big mess that the insulation caused. That was fun. IN the way that riding a bike with flat tires is fun. Then we replaced the fireplace. It looked way better when we were done. And that was one of the last projects we did while we were up there, because we had to get on the road by then so that dad could be home in time to go to work on monday. Thus, our road trip began. And now I must go. So I'll be back tomorrow with the rest of the story. :D

Flagstaff

We pulled into Flagstaff, AZ about an hour ago. We have a pretty nice room with internet so I can do my homework. The bed looks soooo comfortable right now.

We left Murfreesboro about 35 hours ago. We were able to make pretty good time because we decided to drive through the night so we took turns napping and driving. We're both really tired now, but it was worth it to make it this far this fast.

We went through Arkansas, Oklahoma,Texas (where we stopped and saw the Cadillac Ranch), and New Mexico. Good times. Such a drastic change of scenery as we moved from state to state. So many beautiful things out in nature. Proof positive of God's ultimate artistry. Little purple flowers, big red flowers, gorgeous forest, snow covered hills, rainbows, vivid green clovers, The list can go on and on. Get out into nature and SEE it. Experience it. It's worth the gas. Trust me.

This trip has been good. We've had some really good bonding time together and I'm learning quite a bit about my dad. Sometimes it seems like a bit too much information, but it's good I think.

I've been lacking a bit in the prayer and reading department on the trip and I think that's part of the reason for my tiredness. I'm jumping back on that tonight though. I've got my bible out and my other book out and I'll be starting in on those as soon as I'm done here.

So I'll get back to y'all later. buh bye.

So We're in santa rosa

So We're in santa rosa new mexico right now. Stopped and saw the Cadillac ranch. Pics of that soon.

POST!

I'm so tired so I'm trying to be quick, but at the same time, thorogh (I can't spell good right now).

I have left michigan. We left this morning and drove for 17.5 hours. We are now in Merfreesboro, TN. Not sure I spelled the town name right, but that's okay. We crashing with some friends that my dad made while he lived here in Tennessee. They have a highspeed connection. It's sooo nice. I can appreciate my "slow" connections at home now because they are still WAY faster than dial-up. But of course, dial-up is better than "no up". That's something good to keep in mind.

I'm slightly constipated due to increased cheese consumption and decreased water intake, but I think it's fixing itself since I started drinking a lot more water today. I had to pee a lot today. I'm taking that as a good sign.

My tooth has been in moderate to severe pain over the past three days or so. I know I need to get to the dentist about it, but I think part of my issue right now is the toothpaste I'm using. I have a strog feeling that it's making the tooth more sensitive. But I've decided to just get it taken care of when I get back. It'll put me more in debt, but I think it's something that I really need to do.

I'm almos done with my book that I'm reading. I'll be passing it on to my dad when I'm done. it's really been helping me a lot in my quest to become a man. I'm thinking that I'll really be in much better shape when I'm done with it and really focusing on my development. I need to update my book list over there on the side, but I'm WAY too tired to do that tonight. It'll probably sit there out of date for a while longer yet.

And I'm really tired so I think it's time for bed. Another early morning to get on the road. So good night all.

We're in farm country. Here's a picture for you guys. Not exciting to look at i know but just keep in mind that this is where our wheat comes from and it allways looks like this. So yeah. Thats it for now. Enjoy.
