The Junk In My Trunk

On Friday of last week my dad came over. He got to our house at around 8:30pm. We left for Arkansas around 7am the next morning. His van didn’t have any heat, and it was freezing in Michigan. Over the night, we got some serious snow. It was a stressful start to our week.

We finnally got to my grandparents house 18 hours later. A trip that was supposed to take no more then 14 hours, took 4 hours longer then that because of snow, snow, snow, and more snow. I hate snow.

And right away it was obvious that this was going to be a long week. I never realized this before, but my grandparents are hard to get a long with! It’s not that they are bad people - they are great people. It’s just that they come from a totally different generation then we do. And it isn’t even just that, it’s that they come from a totally differet part of the country then we do - which makes everything from our political views, to our religious views, to our eating habbits different.

It is Thursday now, and most of the week is over. I THINK we are going to leave tomorrow to head back to Michigan. We are going to make it a two day trip this time and spend the night somewhere along the way.

But as the week goes on, things have gotten better. we are all getting along, and possibily even having a little fun. Lets hope the rest of the week continues to get better!
