Welcome to KANSAS!

  Oh my goodness,

WE MADE IT!!!!

And we are so happy to be here!

(Well, Beau, not so much... but Kyle

and I are VERY happy!)

Ok, I only have a minute, 

but let's see what I can tell you quickly.

We woke up about 2 hours away (at a Love's

truck stop) and it looked like a big

rain storm was coming, so we 

hurried and got on the road to miss it.

It rained, but it wasn't a big problem.

Just a nice rain.

Made it to Russell (the town before Hays)

and pulled in to use the rest room,

chat with Soni on the phone

and then headed west to Hays.

Waved but kept driving.

On to WaKeeney!

Got to the house and Beau was SO EXCITED

to get to run around off leash!

Of course, our new hardwood floors

are a little bit like an ice rink.

Think Bambi on the pond.

Legs going everywhere, 

slipping and sliding.

But he didn't care.

We unloaded the stuff from our trucks

and then put up his crate, filled it with

his favorite toy and a bed

and locked him in.

(Poor Beau)

Then we headed out to the farm.

(We kind of decided to call it the farm

instead of the ranch. Not enough land

and no animals... not really a "ranch".)

Anyhow.

It is GORGEOUS!

Well, my blog server is acting up.

So I'll have to finish this later.

I need to start my class for this evening.

But anyway... we are here, we are safe,

and we are HAPPY!!!!!
