Wow, has it been that long?

It really hasn't but it sure seems like it!!  My niece is doing better.  She is at home now because she can't go to a rehab center with her broken clavicle.  She has the bar in front of her for the next four weeks and then surgery to remove it.  I'm not sure if she's going to a rehab center then or back home and back and forth to physical therapy. 

Tomorrow, the kids and I leave on the really long (2000 mile) drive to IA.  I'm staying south and then heading north through OK and up north.  Thank you, Arby for your assistance with information on the roads in KS.  We probably won't be able to stop and see you this time, but will definitely make time on our return trip.  We're blessed to have some friends in OK that we will be stopping to visit overnight.  We're excited, they are our best friends from Japan!

On the school front, things have been rather shabby here.  We have been completing most of our lessons but not all.  Too many things to do before we left.  Since we're not sure how long we'll be gone, we have to do dentist appts, get new military ids, etc.  I think we're finally ready and I'm pooped, but I didn't want to leave without letting everyone know what's been going on.

Take care everyone!!  I hope to be there on Friday.  I'll post when we get there!
