August is apparently birthday month, as we celebrated many a b-day with the Guthries, and it is also my dad's birthday today!
In honor of all this birthing, Marshall and I took the whole day off driving today, got a toaster oven from his sister, dried laundry on the line (he is holding photos captive, harass him), and ate too much.
Tomorrow we are going to see Barry and the babies, and maybe make it to Billings?

Pit stop in Iowa
So, Miss Venezuela just won Miss Universe for the second time in a row (spoiler alert)
We're at Marshall's parents house for the next two nights, today we had lunch with Andrea in Grinnell, and then we spent the day with Marshall's extended family just outside of Des Moines. Now we're doing laundry and re-grouping a bit...
These postcards aren't going to write themselves....

Come on hear the Illinois!
HOLY SHIT. We made it all the way to Geneseo, IL last night! really tired, but Marshall let me sleep in today (9am central, which is 10am EST). Now we are off to Iowa!
We're going to go eat with Andrea (Marshall's old boss) in Grinnell, and then going to a "Marshall" family function (Marshall's first name is actually his mom's Maiden name) in Des Moines, and then up to Fort Dodge to sleep in a "real bed" as Marshall thinks hotel beds are imaginary.
Sad points of the trip: Not getting to see Nick or Liz, Nick was because 40 million party animals were moving into Penn State, so he was a tad busy, and we went through Chicago just too late to be polite, but just early enough that we could get another hour or two on the road, so it just didn't work out.
Happy points: Indiana plasters their truck stops with Meth educational pamphlets that made me laugh hard (pictures coming), I rocked out to Sufjan Stevens in ILLINOIS
ok, Marsh just gave me the ten minute warning, so I have to chug down this flavorless, yet too strong hotel coffee and get presentable for the in-would be laws if we were married
