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.
