half way there

it has been an interesting trip, but fun nonetheless. we started out by making our way down to lexington, yes i know...such a far drive. i got to spend some time with stephanie which is always a pleasure. she is beautiful and great and i am extremely blessed to have her in my life. my travel partner is a chimney smoker...its bad when the smoker in the car is getting a headache from the other smoker. i have been driving most of the time because frankly he makes me nervous, just playing, though at first i was because he had never driven an SUV. On Tuesday morning we went to visit my parents. I figured it was the right thing to do since i was only an hour away anyway. I think they really appreciated it. Then we were off again. we drove all night to get to Houston this morning at 8am (9am Ohio time...yeah forgot about those time zones)...but so far the best part of the trip was going to GRACELAND...the palace of the king of rock and roll!! unfortunately we got there at like 11PM so it was closed, but we got some pics, though not good ones. it was the thrill. maybe could've been planned better to get there earlier, but it was sorta a last minute idea for the sake of a billboard...elvis lives!
joe sleeps alot. maybe i am just not a sleeper...he slept in the car for like 4 hours, now he is still sleeping. i am hungry, i wish he would wake up, but he needs his sleep i guess, growing boy and all. he is pretty funny. we dont talk much which is actually nice because i am sick of talking. i have been thinking alot...which can be good and bad. the trip seems more like a weird vacation than a permanent move. it will be nice to go there, spend some time, live a little in LA culture, but right now, i dont think i will stay long...long as in years, but definately 8 months to a year. but you never know, i might love it there and stay a really long time. but right now, just feels like a twisted vacation.
so now we are in houston, gonna piddle around town for a bit today then i think tonight i might get my first lesson in poker with the boys. tomorrow we are staying here too. i still havent been able to get in touch with christian so i am currently staying with joe's friend roger. hopefully i can stay with her tomorrow (cause i have a feeling joe will be way hungover on friday). Then we are off to Phoenix. Not so sure about the Grand Canyon, but we will see.
Plans changed a lot since the trip was last finalized...no dana, no little rock, added graceland...but it is better that way, no deadlines or obligations.
we will most likely get into LA on Wednesday or Thursday, and bright and early monday morning i am either going job hunting or going to the beach!!!
well its like 90 degrees in houston, so i might go to the pool while i wait for joe to wake up.
love everyone
