… hello to you all. thanks to you all who read and/or made a best wishes note on my last post. those were read on the road during the one and only time i could find a wireless connection at a truckstop somewhere around north dakota or so.

what did i jes’ come back from you ask? well… here’s the nut of the whole past week’s experience. (with a bunch of nuts, i might add) my special gal and me packed up our stuff and drove NON-STOP to michigan for her yearly family reunion. when i wasn’t driving, she was. when one of us wasn’t driving, we were sleeping in the back of the SUV. how’d we manage that? well i’ll tell ya!

i purchased a full-size, 4″ thick tempur-pedic bed insert and lined the back of the vehicle with it. with all seats down, including the passenger side seat laid flat/forward, even a 6′3″ guy like me can lay comfortably! all of our luggage and whatnot was packed/lined along the driver’s side of the car and secured, so it was quite nice! (and needed) the trip was about 44 hours straight due to a unfortunate TomTom GPS error detour in WI, and the trip home was routed better and completed in around 36 hours.  

sooo, i’ll spare you all the details of the week’s madness except a few things. we were able to spend sunday and monday with my gal’s mom and dad in De Tour, MI, then we traveled to Kalkaska to her grandparents home for the reunion of her mother’s family’s side. (did that all make sense?) AMAZING people. warm, friendly, hilarious and genuinely good to be around. they welcomed me back with open arms and it was fantastic.  sad to have to go on friday AM to start the long trek home. is it good to be back and finished with vacation? hell no. good to have memories and all tho? helllll yesh.

i took very few pics this time around. my gal took about 98% of them. i have fallen into an editing role, which i’m quite fond of; tho admittedly, her work needs very little ‘tweaking.’ enjoy some of the artistic nature of HER eye. personally, i think she’s amazing. (her photos aren’t bad either)
