Today is the Day!

We are leaving for Colorado tonight at 10:00! We are very excited! We are driving through the night, so I assume we'll drink a lot of caffeine. Our first stop is breakfast at Denny's in Kansas City. Chris, Lynn and Afton are meeting us at 7:00am! Scott and Lynn worked together when Scott lived in Kansas, but I've never actually met Lynn...just talked over email and MySpace, so I'm excited!

After breakfast we are going to take a little break and visit the Kansas City Cabela's (Scott's favorite store). We'll probably stay an hour or two and then it is back on the road. We are hoping to arrive at Kristin's around 7:30 or 8:00 tomorrow night. We are just picking up the lens that we rented (it was shipped to Kristin to save us money...thanks Kristin!). Kristin and I have been friends since I was born! I'm so excited to see her and spend some time with her! She just had a baby girl during the summer and I am so excited to meet her!

After we pick up the lens we are heading to Estes Park to spend the night. We are planning to get up early on Sunday morning to see the sunrise. We'll probably just drive around looking at nature and stuff until about noon. We then will head to Denver to meet Kristin and her family and my friend, Rachel for lunch at Casa Bonita! I haven't been there in years, so I'm really excited! It should be really fun. Also, I haven't seen Rachel in about 6 or 7 years. So that is cool too!

After lunch at Casa Bonita we are heading to Fort Collins to spend the night. We're having dinner at the Liedtke's house and the Jensen's will also be joining us. We've known the Jensen's our whole life and the Liedtke's for as long as we can remember...so it will be fun!

After dinner I'm not for sure what we're doing. We were going to go over to Kristin's and hang out, but her husband will be in town now (he works in Phoenix) and I don't want to take away their time together. So, we'll see what she has planned.

On Monday we are hoping to see Madi and meet her baby girl! I'm having a hard time getting in contact with her, so we might just have to show up at their doorstep.

Monday night we are heading to my grandparents' house and we will stay there until Friday evening (that's when we have to go home). We're really excited because it is supposed to snow at their house on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! We don't get snow here, so that will be awesome!

On our way home when passing through the St. Louis area we are going to stop and see Allen, Monica and the kids! We haven't seen them since our wedding!

We'll try to update while we're gone. We hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

Wow! What a busy schedule. We are thrilled you are fitting us in.

Jensen.....Erin Jensen? She was one of my very favorite cheerleaders! Say hi to her for me :)

Have fun and be careful

Monica's quote is funny since you will most likely see Aren Jensen (don't think he ever did any cheerleading though)

When do you think you will be in St. Louis? Maybe we could drive out and have a meal or something together? We could make a day of it...not you guys, but us. Let me know! If it doesn't work that's O.K., but I got excited to know you are going to be a short 3 hours away.

Haha...that's right...we will be seeing a different Aren Jensen and he didn't ever cheer.

Thanks, JoAnna! I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving too!

Umm...Sonja, we will be in St. Louis again next Saturday. You can call Scott this week and see if it would work or not. I'd ask him to just comment now, but he is sleeping...we made it our hotel in Estes Park!
