Well... we made it!
Our stuff isn't supposed to get to Cali til Friday so we decided to take about 2 hrs our of the way and check out the grand canyon. It was pretty sweet. So we did the whole walk around, take pictures, and look like tourists who are louder than everyone else thing for about 20 minutes and then left. It was worth the $50 in parked we had to pay...or should I say...dad had to pay. :)
The scenery today kicked butt as well. Driving through mountains was basically non-stop which was tight. Cali is awesome. The weather is kicking but our stuff won't be here til tomorrow so we're in a hotel tonight. We got to see the house and everything though and its awesome! Pretty good for an over the internet deal haha. I'll get some pics on soon hopefully.

Day 3 (wed)
Today could basically be summed up in one word.......
"blah"
Leaving Texas and coming to New Mexico at first was nothing special. Lots of flat and very dry land. Oh man wait...we saw about A MILLION cows all at once at the same plant (or whatever you call it). It was probably the strongest of anything I have ever smelled in my life. The 2nd half of New Mexico was beautiful though! Lots of hills and rock faces. I loved it.
We drove by Vaughn, NM. (yeah vaughns!!!)
Andddddd apparently where we are right now (flagstaff, AZ) is 2 hrs from the butterworth residence. Unfortunately we cannot meet. Perhaps on the way back! I love you guys...all 3 of you.
Avg. Speed: 75 mph (borrrrrringgggggg)
Windows: up
Bugs killed: 27
Naptime: 7 minish
Best CD played: music from and inspired by Spider-man 1 (booooyaaaa)
Thoughts: The world would be a better place if David and Katie Webb never made another sound.

ROAD TRIP!!!
Well... we are on our way... and here is some of how the trip has been so far...
Day 1 (mon)
So we got a new Saturn vue! The webb van has been traded in and a 2005 saturn vue has been purchased for the webb family and I get to drive it. Beeeeeaaaaaaaauuuuuutiful.
Anywho…we left the greater Chicago-land area around 1pm (no thanks to my lazy-bum self) and arrived outside Kansas city at grandma’s about 10pm and stayed up til 1230 (not a good idea). No fun stories to report. Only some good quotes and little highlights, so, here you go…
“If you’re frustrated that they don’t allow laptops on the ferris wheel you may be a workaholic.” (this made me think of my dad…haha)
Avg. speed: 80mph (meh…)
Windows: Up.
Naptime: 30 min(ish)
Best CD played: Minutes to Midnight, Linkin Park
Day 2 (Thurs)
From Kansas city to Dalhart Texas!!! We made it quickly through the DJ capital of America…Witchi-TA! Haha…I love you tim. Then we drove through liberal Kansas and I declared that I was from conservative Illinois. (haha not. But yeah….really) Here we passed Dorothy’s house and La Fonda’s motel on pancake ave. (you think I’m kidding)… it was also here that I saw a sign and all it said was air museum w/ an arrow pointing in some direction. In all honesty I thought the display for that day might be oxygen. We also ate at an Applebee’s in Oklahoma and because it was there it might as well have been a Texas Road House w/ an apple on the front. No joke.
On a more serious note…the scenic highway in eastern Kansas is BEAUTIFUL! Oh my gosh! So many hills and turns and…fun. :) I’m coming back with my band in 5 years to write an album.
I don’t think we almost died…although we didn’t see the sign for our next turn so we went from 100mph to 5mph in about 5 seconds. Because of the hills though driving was awesome. Never really tiresome or boring. At least for me…maybe not Katie. Here comes tomorrow!
Avg. speed: really fast J
Windows: DOWN (hair up!)
Naptime: none
Best CD: Passion 07
Tumbleweeds seen: 8ish
Bugs killed: 1,297

Semester closing!
Well, I have one "test" left on Friday and my second semester is no more! I can't believe how quickly its come. This semester has really been awesome. God's opened doors for ministry in music at our church and in the dorms with different guys on my hall. A lot has happened and I feel to try and go into detail over it all would be vain. I'll let pictures show how it went.
I come back to Chicago Friday after my last class and I'll be home for barely a week. We leave for Los Angeles on the 21st. I'm planning on being out there for at least a month and then coming back to Chicago to get ready for Czech.
In the meantime... please pray that I would still end strong. And that once I get back we would be quick in getting things packed and ready to leave. I still have a lot to prepare for cz and man am I getting excited for it!
That's all for now...
