Country road, take me home...

Well it's official... just got back from Kentucky with our BOYS!!! OMG, you have NO idea how excited we are. I seriously never though we were going to be able to get them, considering we didn't have the money for a drive down to Arkansas. I'm just beyond excited!!

And believe it or not, we made it there just fine. There was one time that we though we had made a wrong turn, but we didn't. The people of Kentucky really need to work on fixing their road signs. Mainly because they have none! Half of the time you just had to guess what street you were on. That part definitely didn't make the drive any easier, lol.

I had found a gas station right off of the road that we were coming in on. I text Bourbon and asked if she would meet us there and she said yes. We were stoked about that! But then when we got there, she told us to just come on down to Taco Bell and meet them there. We were basically screwed, considering we didn't have GPS and just had to guess.

By the time we found the place -- 30 minutes later, I might add -- we had driven all the way into the heart of Paducah, then all the way back to I24 and down another exit. It was rough! Luckily, we eventually found the place.

Bourbon was so laid back and mellow about everything, it was nice meeting her. I love meeting glider people. I stood and talked with her for probably 15 minutes before we all decided to leave. She seriously awesome though, and not just because she met us with our boys, she's a cool person. And I even got a hug from her! Win!

As soon as I laid eyes on Tyler, our little mo boy, I was in LOVE! He's SO beautiful and SO unbelievably sweet! It blows my mind! I can't wait until he's settled in so that I can wool the shit out of him, lol.

Boone is kind of a little crab, but sweet. He really seems to like LaVaughn. I know for a fact that she LOVES him, lol. She wanted a leu for as long as I can remember. She held her hand in the bonding pouch with him the entire way home. He even licked her and fell asleep in her hand!!

For some reason, my aunt got a huge kick out of the fact that we drove all the way back to Piedmont before we ate. And of course, we stopped at McDonald's. Go figure. We were wanting to eat at Jack in the Box, but couldn't find one, so just decided to wait. But hey, at least we can trust the people here. ;)

LaVaughn and I have been watching Lawless and The Hatfields and McCoys lately, so it was hard driving into Kentucky and not imagining that we were bootlegging moonshine, lol. Especially when we hit Billard county! I know that's random, but I had to share.

And now were home.. it's past time for some much needed R&R. Why does driving take so much out of a person? I feel like I've ran a marathon, lol. Well, until next time...

Love & Peace

Leaving Missouri:

No idea what this tower it.

Look closely to the left...

Entering Illinois, while crossing the Mississippi River:

Entering Kentucky, crossing the Ohio River:

Spooky bridge!

Headed home...

It's spooky that there were no cars.

OUR BOYS!!

Our new mosaic and leucistic sugar gliders!!

Tyler is a beauty!

As is Boone.

I just love them to death!! <3 p="">

Well hello Collinsville...

Today we had to journey to a place that is unknown to us. A place that requires a lot of attention and even directions. And that place is... Collinsville, IL. I know I haven't given out too many details about the sugar glider Railroad that we have set up - that's mainly because I didn't wan to say something and then have it fall through. If it wasn't for the helpful people of GliderCENTRAL, it wouldn't have been possible.

The beginning of the RR is us, obviously - then we drive to Collinsville, IL to meet a guy named Steve and his wife. They decided to keep Drake overnight and then meet a lady named, Denise, tomorrow in Indiana. After that, Denise will then drive to Ohio where she will meet Tricia - the girl that's adopting Drake, then she will drive back to New York. Not too complex, right? I think it's going to work out great. Day one, luckily, went super well with no speed bumps.

Well, I can think of one in particular speed bump. It may have possible had something to do with me, maybe almost hitting a guy. Yeah, I know - that's completely awful, but it was his fault dammit! He was walking in front of the car as I was picking LaVaughn up at the door of the gas station. I was talking to her as she was getting in and took off when all of a sudden this guy was walking in front of the car. I didn't even move the car 6 inches and he was pressed up against the car. He was obviously rubbing his leg up against the front of the car as he passed. LaVaughn will vouch for me.

Okay, well I'm exhausted and don't feel like writing anymore. I'd like to sit down and enjoy the rest of my Captain D's dinner - lobster bites included.

Love & Peace

Coming up to the JB Bridge.

Almost there!

Haha, Koch Rd. Anyone know what that sounds like (to me anyway)?

Still coming up to the JB Bridge.

We've made it to the JB Bridge!

The Mississippi River

The St. Louis Arch in the distance.

Still the St. Louis Arch.

Yellow highway.

Kind of reminds me of an 80s highway.

Old looking shot of the highway and JB Bridge.

The old miss, the old man...

Better shot of the Mississippi River.

Beautiful shot of the JB Bridge.

Awesome looking clouds.

Yup, cops! We passed SO many cops!

Awesome clouds again.

It's almost like the sky opened up!

Taco Bell Doritos Tacos. Unfortunately, we didn't wait in line to get one.
This is also the ONLY picture that I took today!
