Yesterday I talked for a minute with Uncle T and he mentioned Autumn. She had planned on ridding with a group of friends to Denver and was going to see both our brothers, sister-in-law and Cousin Tia. I started to sulk because I was the only sibling that wouldn’t be in Denver this weekend.
I then started to think…why am I not going? Was I simply not invited? Do I have somewhere to be at this weekend? When I couldn’t come up with an answer for any of the questions I was pondering, I decided, THAT’S IT…I am going to Denver!
Subsequently within the past hour, I have conned GranZ and Auntie Autumn to get in the car with Daven and I for an impromptu road trip. From Clovis, Denver is about an eight hour drive. The plan is to throw clothes in the car (literally), throw Daven in the car (not so literally), and drive halfway tonight. We could easily be in Denver by mid morning on Saturday. Spend about 24 hours with the family then throw everything/everyone back into the car and head home mid day Sunday.
It will be a fast and furious trip, but I am getting excited. Not about the driving (I already have a 24 hour drive ahead of me next week!), but to see all my siblings. I can’t even begin to tell you the fun that we always have when we are all together.
Keep us in your prayers as we head towards the mountain state. We will be there and back before you even knew we were gone!
Ready, Set, Go…and we are off!
LOVE LOVE LOVE

Hmmm...you know that Omaha is only 12 hours away from Clovis... (Just some handy information next time you're in the mood for an "impromptu road trip"!) :) Love you! Have fun!
The last spur of the moment road trip I took was to Reno, Nevada. I was probably 22 or so. I went to a fraternity party and ended up calling in sick to work from Susanville, California the next morning after my friends drove all night. I spent 2 action-packed days in Reno without any food, money, toothbrush, or even a change of clothing, but it was a blast (Remember Julia Roberts and her friend in Pretty Woman eating the cocktail cherries and olives from the bar when they were starving to death?). Those days are SO over, but Erik is up for a road trip anytime, and I am now reminded we are due! I love the traveling bug! Have a safe trip and report back when you get home. Love, Nance
I hope you have a great time!!! Funny: here, in Hungary I can't drive 8 hours, because max. 4 hours and I leave the country... :)))))))
