PAIGE'S TICKET IS BOUGHT!!!

WOOO!!!!!! I bought my ticket to minneapolis today and it's a one way, baby. that means, there is NO getting out of this 1700+ mile road trip!!!
I cannot explain how excited I am.

I. NEED. GIRL. TIME.
PLEASE! God!!!!!
It's been since December 11th of 2008. (waaaaaaaaay too long)

Dont get me wrong, I love Marty and I love his mother, but a girl cannot survive without her friends!!! I want to drink wine, eat crappy food (preferably cheese and bread), complain about a red carpet disaster and paint my nails. I want to talk about everything and then talk about how we talk about everything.

So far, we've deceded we're going to travel a whopping 5ish hours a day. :) we're taking our time, yes. Day one we'll go see Rachel in Sioux falls, day two, find the Koolaid Museum, Day three, find a spa in CO, day four kick it in Santa fe, day five, albuquerque, then El paso!
However, this is all just tenative planning :)

We need to start our official scavenger hunt list.... I Think I'll do that now :)

~A sombrero!
~AND a picture of the two of you with a couple who has been married for 50 years.

Have you even done a "photo scavenger hunt?" It's much cheaper. :) And it fits better in your car.

I'm envious! You guys are going to have a blast.

PS. Stacy and I went to CO and back 7 years ago. We COULD NOT STAND each other by the time we got back (and dude! We're practically sisters.) When we got back to MN we had a conversation that went something like, "I love you but I hate you right now, sorry."

Just a heads up. :)
