The time that our life was crazy.

So in between moving out of our apartment and starting Trav's new internship with Oswego, this was our life:

  • Pack a bag to live out of for 2 weeks.
  • Pack everything else, move out of apartment, drive to Yorkville, IL.
  • Meet the family who is letting us crash in their house for 7 weeks, spend the night.
  • Leave at 5:30am to get back to the city in time for Travis to get to work.
  • Oh wait...at 5:45am, pull over to the side of the highway while car dies and blows smoke everywhere.



  • At 6:00 am, call tow truck.
  • 6:15am: "What are you guys doing in IL? This state sucks." --IL State Police Officer
  • At 7:40am, call to make sure the tow truck is on its way.
  • 8:30: call again for tow truck.  Find out the tow truck was almost there about an hour ago, but just decided to turn around instead of come help us.
  • 9:00am: tow truck arrives.
    "What are you guys doing in IL? This state sucks." --Tow Truck Driver
  • Settle in while the mechanic looks at our car.  In a few minutes he comes in to share the bad news: Charles is down for the count.
  • Rent a car for the next two weeks.
  • Drive into Chicago and check in at the Chicago Getaway Hostel.
  • By this time, Travis is not going to make it into work.
  • Wait in line at Comcast for an hour, just to give them back all of their stuff.
  • Spend a few days in this room:
  • With this creepy gal on the wall:
  • Laugh together and love each other the whole time :)
  • Drive to Ohio, then Pennsylvania for 4th of July vacation (it rocked!)
  • Go caving, white water rafting, and have an awesome time.
  • Steal Janae's car from her for the summer (Mom & Dad Hancock were so helpful in letting us buy that from them.  Such a great blessing!)
  • Drive to Indiana where Holly stays, and Travis drives on to Chicago to spend another week at the hostel.
    Caitlin's job.
    Sorry, Alyssa.

    Lipstick fight at the mall

    Who knew Greenwood Park mall had a summer concert series??
    Free food & cute costumes. Win/Win!

    Found my new motto for life at Chick-Fil-A.
  • Meet at Hertz to return the rental car, begin our life in Yorkville/Oswego!
