The Great Plains

~1800 miles + 10 States + 3 days = 1 long a$$ road trip!
Having your beau with you the whole time and in Dallas for an extended period? = Priceless! Joyous! Happiness! Woohoo!


What a weekend! We pretty much spent the entire weekend in a car. The map above sums it up!

My ever so thoughtful and loving FI decided to move down to Dallas for 6-8 weeks to be with me; but, before he moved, we had to make a bit of detour. Unfortunately, my place in Dallas does not allow dogs...so...we had to take the ladies to his sister's place in Fargo. I flew up to Chicago on Wednesday night, we headed to Fargo on Thursday morning (bright and early), got a bit of time to spend with FSIL and FBIL, left Fargo on Friday afternoon, stopped at Topeka, KS, for a night, then made the rest of the trip to Dallas on Saturday.
  
FSIL w/ the ladies
  
FSIL, FBIL, their new pup Boggs, and CD
[Good old Molly was beside me]
  
CD and I are very excited about our time together and looking forward to our adventure in Dallas; however, it was incredibly difficult to leave our girls behind...(I think we will have a real hard time in the future if we ever need to send our kids away to camp, to grandparents', or college!) Well, at the least, they won't be bored with Boggs chasing them around and Molly will keep them in line! And, most fortunately, my FSIL is one heck of a 'dog whisperer' - total, complete, utmost trust in her that they will be great in her care. We are so grateful that she (and her hubby) have taken them in. :)

Lazy Ladies on Memorial Day

CD's at the gym, and here I am on the couch doing a bit of work...Selma jumps up and demands that she gets to sit on my chest, kicks out the laptop...


in comes, Patty - no way that she gets left out!



Patty - butting in.



Aw - we are good and comfy!



Still good and comfy...




But now mama can't reach the keyboard!


Just sharing some of my favorite moments in our home. :)

Patty has now moved over to my left shoulder; Selma is still on my chest resting her head on my right arm and I'm having to [weight]lift her [big] head with my biceps as I type...both of them sound asleep...
