Are we there yet????!!!!

"Are we there yet???!!" was the most asked question yesterday. It got to the point where Jason and I just said no! LOL  We left Dallas around 1:00 and at 1:20 this is what we saw in the back --------------------->

Our first stop was about after 2 hours which was good. We stopped at this big travel lodge, lots of gifts and toys for the kids to touch, of course. Very nice bathrooms which is always my worries when you travel with the little ones. After 10 minutes we were back on the road.

Along the way we started to see lots of smoke, we could barely pass through...Someone started a grass fire and it spread about half a mile down the highway. I really hope they were able to get it out.






We continued on our way. About 2 hours later Connor really had to use the bathroom, so we pulled off and Stopped at a Shell Station that smelled like Death. It was the worse smell ever, People were just out and about like no problem while Camryn and I stayed in the car trying to keep from vomitting all over the place!!

7 hours on the road and we make it to Mississippi. It was so amazing coming up to the bridge to cross the mighty Mississippi river and to see the looks on the kids faces. It felt very patriotic as you see the big flag waving on top of the bridge and it's just so masive. We stop and take pictures and right when we are looking over the river we see a train coming across. Our kids love trains and it was our luck that they got to see this and experience something like this. Just AMAZING!!  The sun was going down and Jason took some great pictures, it was glorious!



Today we are heading to Pensicola, which is about 5 hours away.

First, we are stopping at the Coca Cola museum. Yes, I know there is so much history here and battlefields, but when it's hot and you have a 7 and 5 year old...we don't want to intentionaly drive ourselves crazy! lol

I'm reading the help which is crazy since it's based around Mississippi and I'm here. Great book by the way!! If you haven't read it you definatley should!

Till later, God Bless!

Crazy Busy

So, it's been quite some time since I've posted...over 4 months to be exact. I last posted on March 30th and 10 days later our house was hit with a massive storm. To this day we believe we were hit with the downwind of a tornado. Living in the country and 30 minutes from Oklahoma we are use to storms, but we never experienced anything like this before. Over $20,000 of damages, and all of the repairs were just complete.  Then about 10 days after the storm, I found out that I have skin cancer, well had skin cancer.....

To find out that I'm part of the "C" family was very emotional. My dermatologist said "Kristi, if you are going to get cancer, this is the best kind to have"...hmmmm ok?! I guess. I went in for surgery and that  was the result good and he got it all and had to take out over 4 inches wide and 1"deep.....All I can say is to please make sure you continue to apply sunscreen as you would your child. I'd much rather have this scar then the other, but it was very painful and took 8 weeks to heal. Thank goodness my doctor is a plastic surgeon too :)

That same week I started in a new area, a.n.a women's casual instead of Juniors. Such a great move! I love my new team, and I'm learning so much and being challenged every day :)

So now....time for vacation! We are leaving tomorrow for Destin Flordia. Taking our family trip before school starts. We will be blogging and will include a section of just pictures we have taken along the way ;)
We are taking our time, leaving tomorrow and driving to Vicksburg, Mississippi first and staying the night. Then driving Saturday to Pensicola and will arrive in Destin on Sunday...soooooo excited!!

Until tomorrow...Good night and God Bless!
