Comings and goings and a whole lotta stops in between!

Did anyone else realize we have been a whole lotta places since we left that little Utah valley 2.5 weeks ago? (I just had to check to see how long ago that was. Time is all smooshed together lately)

Utah to Denver to Omaha to Nauvoo to Minneapolis and now we find ourselves in Chicago. What's worse than a new place with a bunch if boxes and no friends? All of that PLUS no husband! SO we survived one day alone after he left for Chicago for a 16 day work training and woke up to decide we'd make the 7 hour drive to stay with him!  Adventure (and a bit of stupidity) was calling. One 45 minute screaming session from the back seat (and the front seat, who am I kidding I screamed too. I was not at my best moment), a few traffic jams, one too many toll roads (seriously. Ain't no body got time for that), and a stiff legged woman later, we arrived.

It was the good life when I lived there!

Last stop before final arrival!

Well there's much more to be said about hail storms, couches, county fairs, beer factories, and cheese curds, but now I leave you with the most adorable and squishy baby face ya ever done now seen!!!!!!  Gosh he's such a handsome one. My Handsome Hank!
