We got our first assignment on Michael's birthday - Dallas, TX! We couldn't have been more excited! We wanted to get to live in Texas during this journey and many of my aunts, uncles and cousins all live within 45-3 hours of Dallas. And Dallas is just awesome. We got flights booked, travel plans made, and even nearly selected housing but as I was on the website to approve an apartment Michael sent a text message to me that read "Big change of plans already. We're not going to Dallas." My heart sank a little since it had only been 24 hours, but he said it was still Texas. Ok, where? Well, San Angelo. Google map it and see how far out this little town is. Waaaaay out in West Texas y'all. No Trader Joes here. Still exciting, but this time Michael decided to drive our little family and our only car (we sold his!) all the way to San Angelo.
The babies were amazing! Not perfect...especially between 4 -6pm when screaming seemed to be the only choice. But they were troopers for sitting tight for two ENTIRE days! Our car was packed way too full. I spent a lot of time squished in the middle seat trying to entertain Carmen or calm down Brooks.
We made it through Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas and then most of Texas.
Here's the Mississippi River (thank you jump rope game for teaching me how to spell that as a kid. Just like Fergie helps me spell "Glamorous." Every time. Even Then.)
And here we are - San Angelo:
