I'm in St. Louis now. I meant to post last night before the beginning of our road trip, but my site was all farked up, but it seems to be fixed now.

After driving 12 hours today through Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri, visiting the world's largest McDonalds, visiting a kitch souvenier shop (The Ozarkaland!).

Now we're visiting (and crashing with) Amy's old middle school friend in St. Louis who are very nice and fed us yummy food, and have a beautiful apartment.

Anyways, a smashing beginning to a new adventure, appreciating being at home with my family for a year, but very excited about the new turn in my life.
