Missouri : Part 2

Missouri:Part 2 went as well as it could. We went down Thursday night and got back Sunday evening. We had a few issues leaving Edmond - such as getting on the highway only to discover we had NO gas so we got that and got back on the highway and Justin realized he forgot his suit. So leaving at 5 turned into leaving at 6 and getting into Columbia at 1 am. We also got pulled over again but thankfully only another warning. Haylie is going to think that the blue & red flashing lights are just something that happens when one drives to Missouri.
Saturday was the funeral service for Justin's grandpa. It was a very sweet time with family and friends getting up and saying something about Grandpa. It was very emotional and I loved hearing things about Grandpa that I didn't know.
The trip back to Edmond was a little trying on Justin & I, but we made it. I think Haylie cried about 5 of the 8 hours. I felt bad for her but we couldn't keep stopping otherwise we would never get home! So we spent most of the car ride in silence listening to her cry, scream, yell, etc. Here we are at a gas station - she looks pretty ornery but she was pretty happy to stretch her legs.I'm pretty thankful to be home and not in the car. We don't have plans to make any trips over an hour any time soon and I hope it stays that way because Haylie only tolerates an hour or two before letting us know how she really feels about being strapped in one position.

Long car rides with a crying baby should be part of premarital counseling. It's a true test in a marriage! Love the photo of you two!
