The trip West!


We began our great adventure traveling to Indianapolis en route to Bloomington, where our good friends, Brian and Heather Wilson and their family now reside. Brian was a groomsman at our wedding and we were so looking forward to our time together with them (as well as getting to meet all of their family- they had only one daughter, Kierra, when we were married)! We arrived in Bloomington late Friday evening and were incredibly blessed by their hospitality- they had a wonderful organic dinner waiting for us with home-made ice cream for dessert! What amazing friends we have! We spent time catching up and Saturday were able to stay most of the day to hang out with the kiddos, Kierra, Caleb, and Brogan, which was great fun! Maggie also enjoyed her time hanging out with the kids and running in their backyard. We unfortunately don't have a picture of our friends- chalk it up to sheer exhaustion. Sorry, Wilson's, we do love you!! :)

The car ride was fine- no baby problems! :) Maggie also enjoyed the futon mattress she slept on in the back seat, as you can see from this pic!

Our second night (Sat.) was spent in Vandalia, IL- hmmm- we found there wasn't much in Vandalia! We ended up staying at a Travelodge there and I had a bit more bleeding, which was concerning so we spent the evening resting and gearing up for the next leg of the trip.

These pics show me (Brian insists that I always take the pictures and am never in any of them) enjoying the Travelodge's own rendition of the St. Louis Arch. Fun.
