Well, upon arrival... it was thanksgiving- but it was also Cody's birthday, and our 2 year anniversary-talk about a fun packed day... Cody talk about a sweetheart, got me two diamond bands to add to my wedding ring. They look beautiful, wow!! And I got Cody and ipod classic. He was stoked, he started downloading things that night.. ha ha. It was fun... well since we spent the day in the car and just hanging with the big family.. cody took me to dinner the next night at the Cheesecake Factory. However during the day we went all over, we went to the nelson atkins museum of art.. and saw the jumbo birdies..






and we went to see the train station... where we saw a huge track and a giant christmas tree..







we had a great time, even though we missed our little puppy... he did okay though, he didn't even recognize us when we got home... sad but true. We had a great time and hope everyone else's Thanksgiving was great!!

Okay, So I realize that I haven't written in a really long time to the blog. I realized this when I got an email to check out a friends, that I hadn't written in so long... so I decided to give everyone an update. So the last time I wrote, I talked about leaving for our trip to Kansas City to see Cody's family for Thanksgiving. So here we go.... We left on the 20th of November for our journey. We traveled to only Laramie WY that day. It took us 4 hours to go 60 miles, we were in a really bad snowstorm. We ended up being stranded in Cheyenne WY for two days while we waited for the storm to pass through... We found tons of cowboy boots in this town... hence cody next to the 'boot'...









We spent the day just wandering around and checking out the non existent things to do here. And again we found more boots hanging out... here we are!!







After sitting in Cheyenne for two days and debating whether or not we should try and make it to Kansas City, we opted to go. We loaded up and started across Nebraska. We made it all the way through the state and to Kansas city that day. WOW talk about a long time in a car... but we did make a few stops... we found a fort in Nebraska named... Fort Cody!







And we also had a run in with a bear...





and Cody tried on cowboy hats... lookin hot hun!!






Well we finally made it later that day... finally... phew!! What a journey...
