The Drive Part 2

We spent about a week in Grand Forks just hanging around and relaxing. Mike was suppose to take his last test for Edward Jones but he put it off a week because he didnt feel like he had gotten enough time studying (he ended up passing it!) We had a really nice reception at one of the local hotels there. A lot of Mikes family came down for it so it was nice to meet more of his family. I wore a really cute dress and had hot pink heels!! It was a lot of fun.

Mikes parents and his Uncle Eric decided that they would help us move down there (so very nice). We bought a bed while we were in Grand Forks (an amazing pillow top bed). But other then that we planned on finding most of our furniture down there. We left Monday morning and planned on making the trip in two days. Drive mostly Monday and then have only about 3 hours on Tuesday. The drive went much more smoothly this time around! It helped that Mike drove most of the way so I could just lay back and relax. Funny Story...When we got to the actually Missouri state line sign we had put the camera on top of the car and ran to the sign before the picture took and right as the picture was taking a BIG semi truck drove by and the wind for it knocked the camera off the car and this is the picture we got as the camera was falling... not as bad as it could have been.
When we made it to St Louis we were all surprised at how green it was here! I never thought that Missouri was so lush! Everything was so green and pretty! Our apartment is way nice and is in a really good part of town (what a relief). Mike works about a mile and half away so he can come home for lunch which is nice. Mikes parents stayed for about 3 days after we got here to help us move in. It was nice to have there help.
