After a 25 hour drive, I have arrived in KANSAS!

It's been awhile since my last post but it for very good reasons! I have been busy moving my life to Overland Park, Kansas! Can you believe it? It still is so surreal to me that I am actually here to live, and not just for a visit. I am trying to find a job out here and to just get settled. I am staying with my sister and her family for awhile until I can get my feet on the ground. I am so excited to start school again out here. Hopefully my sister will come back to school with me so we can do it together.

Th drive out to Kansas was fun but very very very long! We decided to take the safe boring route (through Arizona, new Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and then straight into Kansas) instead of the exciting.not so safe one (Nevada, Utah, Colorado). We started around 12pm California time and just rove straight through until we arrived at our destination at 1:30pm Kansas time. So it took about 23 1/2 hours. Ha ha... Me and Joseph both barely made it. We were fighting the inevitable sleepiness that hit us just around flagstaff, Arizona. I slept maybe an hour the whole drive because i was so paranoid about dying and getting run over by a semi...so when it was my turn to drive once we hit Oklahoma, Joe had been driving for almost 12 hours straight! I wish I would've used that time to sleep because once I started driving I seriously began to fall asleep! It didn't help that Oklahoma is probably the most boring state and there was nothing interesting to look at to maybe help me get more excited and therefore more awake so I fell asleep AT THE WHEEL for a little over...oh....2 seconds...it was a good nap...ha..
I then realized that I really wanted to make it to Kansas alive so I woke Joe up to drive while I took a short nap. I'm writing this blog now, so I'm sure you know what happened... we made it alive! So, I am very grateful for that. I am also very excited that my car made it the whole trip without a problem. Let's hope it stays that way!

Seeing my sister, nephew, brother in law, and dog again is awesome. I couldn't be happier. :) I plan on staying in Kansas for a very long time. :D
