catch up...

so it seems i've been playing catch up a lot with my blog lately. this should bring everything up to date.

last weekend i went on a fantastic, but quick, roadtrip with my mom. we covered about 2200 miles in less than 4 days, driving to colorado & back over a long weekend. when jonathan & laure packed their vehicle to head home after the wedding, they realized they couldn't fit all their stuff. so i volunteered to pack up my car & bring it out to them. if any of you didn't know before that i love to drive - now you know. :) so we packed my car & drove to colorado.

on the way out, we visited what is probably the coolest (or only cool) thing in nebraska - car henge. it's just north of this little town called alliance, and it's basically a replica of stone henge. except it's made with cars. apparently some guys got together at a family reunion one year & decided this was the thing to do. photos are here. we got there right at dusk, so excuse the poor lighting. while car henge is, in fact, very cool - the billboards leading you to it are very... well.. misleading. so it took us longer to get there than it should have. but the roads to get there had some fantastic scenery. who new nebraska could be so pretty?

yes, i really just said nebraska was pretty. amazing, i know. but i guess there really may be something good in nebraska.

we got to jonathan & laure's on sunday around lunchtime. we went out for lunch & then headed up into the rocky mountain national park. gorgeous. photos from that are here.

the ride home was fairly uneventful. although i think iowa may have strange laws about (or against) billboards.

and i think that catches everything up. oh! on wednesday i saw jean & elizabeth driving near my work. i waved - but you were already past me, so i doubt you noticed. but i tried. :)

oh, and wedding photos... maybe i'll put some of those online, too. that could be nice, eh? the photographer has the proofs online for everyone's viewing/ordering pleasure.
