On our way

Its 2 24 and we are on our way to Alabama! Just left Ft Sill, hit the interstate fixing to go through some toll booths and then on to OkC! Ill keep this updated as we go :)

5:32 am, 615 miles to go
And then there's been 3 things of consturction, 2 five miles +/- some( this ones been over 5 miles and been like this since may). And skunks every other mile or so. Tatl's been good. Sleeping away in her pouch. I got worried she was getting to chilly. But now she's all cuddled up in her pouch with a fleece blanky in my lap. Aj keeps his fingers in he mouth a good bit. He says he's just running his tooth under the nail, but I think he's chewing them still. And its at mile 609 to go now. That state line doesn't look any closer on the gps. And its still dark. The suns not supposed to be up till 7:50 in oklahoma. This sucks driving in the dark. We re probably getting breakfast in Arkansas. And I'm already hungry. I'm gonna fix tatl some food when we stop. She had a light dinner. Not much at all so I know she's hungry.
More later.

6:36am
Just got to Arkansas. We re stopped over at the welcome center for a nap. Should only take 4 hours to cross Arkansas. So we re making good time :)

7:01am
back on the road again after a short rest. The sun is just now starting to brighten the sky. Thank God lol. Driving in the dark was not fun after a while. Still smelling the skunks tho. We've got 540 miles to go.

8:57 am
Fixing to pass Little Rock, Arkansas and we re half way home with 404 miles to go. Called nonie and maw and talked to for a bit. Ate a bite for breakfast but I'm still hungry lol.  And I'm getting a headach :( hopefully we can stop soon because I reeaaalllyyy gotta pee xD and I need to fix Tatl some food and put her up for a bit.
We just passed Little Rock! Now on to Memphis then Hayden the home! we should make alabama by about 2:30pm if we keep on like we're going.

9:45am

We almost got sideswiped by a big rig -_-

11:49 am 200 miles to go
Goodbye Memphis, hello Victoria, Mississippi.
We are now in you guessed it, Mississippi. We had a hard tim weeving our way through Memphis for a bit. Traffic was stop and go for a looooooong time. And nows no better. We re back to one lane traffic. Wooo hoo more! Aj estamates 40% of our trip has been one lane construction work and city traffic. Blech. Hoping to get some food soon.

12:26 pm
Stopped and got some food. We re still making good time :)
In amidst the evergreens you can see sploches of gold and red and orange. We're getting so close! I can't wait to see that welcome to Alabama sign.

1:03 pm 125 miles to go!
So close. So close!  But that border doesn't seem to be getting any closer! Gahhh! Stupid gps playing tricks on us. *grumbles*
Such pretty tree colors to look at tho.

1:30
SWEET HOME ALABAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going home monday and we're sick.

We re packing up and getting ready to go home and I'm just mildly depressed. I haven't been sleeping, having major sinus headaches and now I've got the sniffles. Nooooooo! I won't be able to visit Pop. I am so not happy about this. Taking extra vitamins and cold meds hoping its just a sinus infection.

And to top it all off AJ over exerted himself work ing out today. He got super dehydrated and sick. :( pumping him full of liquids today and tomorrow hopfully it helps.

A very large project

I want to make  Amigurumis, and teddy bears and hats for Childrens Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama for Christmas, for the kids with cancer. I feel that God has laid this on my heart, but I can't do this on my own. I need help making these tho. If any one wants to donate yarn, teddy bears or the time to make these please let me know. If I can get enough support and enough stuff in time I will contact Children's Hospital with the gifts to donate.

If any one's spent time with those kids, you'll know ho much this will mean to them. Those kids are some of the strongest people I've ever met. My heart goes out to them and their parents, and with it being Christmas time I'd like to bring a little bit of cheer and a smile to those little faces.
