Twelve Hundred Miles in Nineteen Hours

So yeah...

we left Livingston at 2:30pm yesterday and we arrived here inNorth Phoenix at our beloved Laytons' around 10:30am. We stopped for a half hour at Petersens' in Lehi at 11pm. We picked up my cutie bro, Sam, and visited with Jill and Drew for a few minutes (great gifts, Sue!), and we were off. Sam drove the toughtest leg, midnite to 4am, from Payson to Kanab...what a trooper! I cruised into Flagstaff around 7:30am and we had a super yummy breakfast and a little shopping at Cracker Barrel. The rest of the drive was so much fun...I sat in the back with the kids and we sang a long to the Elf soundtrack and colored pictures with color wonder markers.

Now Sam and Kristen (and her teeny tiny baby belly) are making us dinner, we are watching Mickey's Twice , Upon A Christmas, snuggling and so happy. All the kids had baths and we all napped (while Kristen entertained the girls). Life is good (even tho our President tried to pull a deplorable fast one today), and we hope the peace and fun continues. Our prayers are with all y'all who have more traveling to do...it's a little stormy out there...

and LAST BUT NEVER LEAST, Happy Birthday to Laura & Lisa, my beloved twin sisters. Happy Anniversary to Jill & Drew, and Happy June Roses Day (Geo, we are sharing memories over dinner tonight--I shall return and report on our June Roses later).
