return to the land down south

My car made it to Utah, YAY!!! I’ll put up a picture of the hot lil thang sometime soon, but I’m pretty sure you’ve all already seen it so it should be pretty familiar. I bought Winston's old Escort and so far, i love it!

Driving home was sooo silly because I am like the most paranoid driver ever now. I feel like I’m in Driver’s Ed all over again. Every time the car makes a weird noise, I freak out. Every time a car comes up fast next to me and then cuts me off, I freak out. The teeniest flash of brake lights on the freeway, I freak out. The sad part is, that this new travel anxiety I’ve caught also has its effect on airplanes. People probably think it’s my first time flying every time I’m in a plane lately, because at the teeeeniest sign of turbulence, I flinch and clench the armrests and start breathing loud and rhythmically. It is so ridiculous! Hopefully I'll be able to recover soon...

The trip up to Spokane was great! Thanksgiving was wonderful, and it was great to see all the Barnes chicklets. I cannot even tellllll you guys how much I miss Washington, like.... ALL THE TIME. It was great to be back in the land of trees and driving through mountains to get everywhere. I even got to drive out to Deer Lake in the middle of a blizzard... reminds me of lots of good times growing up! Unfortunately none of us had cameras there, due to the thefts of Jacque and I's over the last few months... lame. But my Dad got a few pix on Thanksgiving, so hopefully I can at least get a few of those up. For now you'll just have to deal with a few boring posts until I can get my own camera again. Love you all!
