After a long and monotonous four day drive, we miraculously made it to Mississippi (that's a really fun state to spell out loud!)... in one piece. Kiley says that when we move back west we are selling all of our belongings and flying. Driving with a baby was more difficult because we had to stop ever 2.5-3 hours for feedings. Then Kinsley decided to stop taking bottles... which is rather upsetting since Kiley really liked taking a break from nursing every now and again.

When we arrived, our apartment wasn't ready for us. The manager said, "Well, didn't someone call you yesterday to tell you not to come until later this week because your apartment wouldn't be ready?" We looked at her and said, "No, we have been driving since Saturday and you would have had to call us more than ONE day in advance to tell us we couldn't move in." Needless to say we spent the first night in a hotel and then did some sightseeing with Kiley's family (who were saintly enough to drive the truck and trailer loaded with all of our stuff... we still feel bad that the truck broke down and Bonnie and Kristi had to spend the night in the truck... Chad likes to run on empty and didn't realize there would suddenly be LONG stretches of NOTHING on his drive).

We went to Graceland and learned that we don't know very much about Elvis. In the souvenir shop Eric found a hat with EP on it. Kiley had a "blonde moment" and said, "Cool you found a hat with your initials on it! What are the chances of that happening?!" ..... Elvis Presley....



Apparently he had a lot of hits... we need to get a cd


People still come and lay flowers on his grave.
