It's Chrissie!
We drove a LOT today. Actually, Mike drove way more than I did. I get antsy and uncomfortable after I drive for too long.
We left Denver at about noon, tired from staying up late the night before. We drove and drove and drove ... the scenery was pretty, but very much the same! I listened to This American Life while Mike dozed off. I was also fighting a sore throat that I woke up with, but luckily it didn't get too bad and is already gone.
Mike and I arrived in Topeka at 9pm. We are staying with his aunt, Janet, and her husband, Don. Janet met us at the door, and we sat and chatted with her for a bit; Mike hadn't seen her in a few years, so you can imagine that there was a lot of catching up to do! Don was already asleep, so we didn't get to see him today. Let me also mention, their house is beautiful! There is a huge backyard, and the house itself is also huge. Mike spent some time showing me around the house, we even signed their guest book; Mike also found two signatures he'd written as far back as 1996.
So far, Topeka seems like a city that feels like a small town. I like it.
