And....we're back! Thirty hours of car time, two very swollen ankles, and weather of all extremes are behind us (as is, unfortunately, a fabulous week spent with my family -- I miss you guys already!), and now it's back to the grindstone. Oh heavens. The post-vacation feelings of overwhelming reality are beginning to make themselves known. (Don't worry, though -- I've made a list and everything is under control.)
We had a great time in Provo, and it was hard to have to leave. But at the same time, it's really good to be back. Or, more rightly, it's really good to not be sitting in a car anymore. Man, that was some drive! Remember when I said that Muncie was a 24-hour drive away from Provo? Well, I wasn't counting the (all-too-brief) three hours spent sleeping in the car at a rest stop, or the crossing of two time zones. Let's just say that, while it was fun, I'm not itching for another long road trip any time soon. Oh, and you should have seen the weather we ran into! We drove out in the wake of tornadoes and flooding throughout the plains, and icy, snowy winter storms in Wyoming. As for the ride home, we were fooled by the sunny, warm weather gracing Provo and ended up in the middle of frighteningly horrible hail storm in Wyoming, incredible thunderstorms in Nebraska, pounding rain in Iowa, and fierce winds in Illinois and Indiana. Blake's a great driver though, and he got us both home safe and sound.
Right now I've got a pile of paperwork needing my attention, so I'll have to share my highlights of the actual vacation festivities later (and let me tell you -- were there ever festivities!). In the meantime, you may all rest assured that we had a great time. Also, I'm hoping for a few moments alone with the computer this weekend to get our truckload of photos uploaded, so stay tuned for that.

Glad you had a good time. It's always nice to get together with fam.
Snow storms in Wyoming? What gives? One more reason not to live there I guess.
