i have finally reached it:
HOME!
nothing describes the relief that was felt
when i saw the familiar interstate exits after ten months.
i almost cried.
but after over 29 hours in the car, i was ready for my own bed.
my grandparents were saints, and helped drive me the 29 hours to k-town.
my grandfather is a history nut, so one of the stipulations of the cross country drive,
was that we had to stop at a couple of historical sites on our way.
stopping at winter quarters, missouri and nauvoo, illinois only added two hours to the drive.
they have some great visitors centers at both places,
and we were able to learn and see a lot of neat things.
and of course, my grandfather got to show his extensive knowledge of Church History.
the poor ladies at both visitors centers didn't hold a candlestick to his vast knowledge.
it was really cool though to learn more about church history at those two places.
