Road Trip! Day 1

so i have a staff conference in Colorado and Holly is coming with to nanny for a family, so we are road-tripping it to Colorado and are writing brief updates on our trip and i figured they would be good for blog entries too. so here we go!

on a brisk july day, h&m set out on their grand adventure: the road-trip of epic proportions.














it took a while, but they stuffed kelly kapoor (aka the prius) to the gills.
stop 1: starbucks for a iced white mocha & a vanilla latte.
stop 2: credit union. money will be needed on the trip.
and then they were off!

holly was a much better passenger than usual and did not even bug miranda about the huge stash of birthday presents in the backseat even though she was uberly curious. they began
listening to kristin chenoweth's autobiography and random outbursts of laughter permeated the air (it is really, really funny thus far & is narrated by kristin herself, oklahoma accent and all).

upon crossing into iowa's fields of possibilities, holly was delighted to hear she
could open her first birthday present! she tore it open in a frenzy while attempting to take a picture of herself, it was a mediocre success, more pictures to follow. she rejoiced wildly to see peanut butter m&ms!














she then agreed to share them with scandalou (holly's new nickname for miranda after bowling with steve, that story can be shared at a later time).

we made good time on the drive and stopped at a rest stop so miranda could change for the wedding and holly played on the free wifi in the rest stop for a while. then they headed into ames and miranda went to erin beane's, now mcfarland, wedding. holly sat at starbucks for 5 hours and worked on....stuff. she promises it was productive.














holly came back to the wedding and picked up miranda and they headed off to the land of nebraska. they are currently reminiscing about project boys (& girls) with emily. wow summer project was 5 years ago. weird. turns out, we are still all as awesome as ever--just a little less tan!














okay, now it is after 2 am and there is still many more adventures to be had so h&m need to get some beauty sleep.

love from nebraska-
holly & miranda
