So in Ryan’s last “update” post, he mentioned that the move combined with the pregnancy had led me to catch “some kind of bug.”  Well it turns out that a bug actually caught me, and gave me West Nile Virus!  I started feeling very tired the Saturday after we arrived, and that night began what [...]

Journey… Part 3

July 20, 2008 by Megan

So once again, we were up early to load and take off.  More of the same… gas, bathroom, fast food.
However, around 10:30 (8:30 Pacific), my parents received a distressing phone call from my brother Mike.  Today would be our beloved Bailey Rose’s last day on Earth.  She given to me for my 8th grade graduation [...]

July 20, 2008 by Megan

So after our sleepless night, we were up bright and early (read: 5am) to load the cars and get back on the road.  Everyone was pretty exhausted, and the thought of more driving wasn’t exactly high on our lists of desires.  But off we went…
