Day 1.... Well, Almost



11 May 2008

Can we really call it an early morning when we didn’t even go to bed the night before?? OU graduation + Charleston’s + last-minute packing + a 2 AM Wal-Mart trip = no sleep for us

The flight to Chicago was a little rough provided the itty-bitty plane, but we managed to get a few winks of sleep, even though the bumpy descent made Kely a little queasy. Given our extremely long layover, we took a subway ride and both got our first taste of Chicago mixed with rain but still magical!

Our long layover has given us the time to write our first blog of many. We can’t express how excited we are for the next few weeks of traveling and learning!

To our moms, we hope you had an amazing Mother’s Day and know that we love you very much.
So this is our lovely little trip to rainy Chicago, the Sears Tower, and us just hanging out in the airport!!

Sweet deal! I like this idea! Now you don't have to type me an email every day! How's France? It's stormy here! Tornados everywhere!!!! Not at our house... so yeah. You should bring me back some t-shirts! Not girly ones either. Like unisex shirts! Anyways! Write more on your blog... it's passed day one... it's actually like day4 or 5. YOu guys are falling behind!

I hope you guys are having fun!! Bring us back some Euros; they're worth so much more than our dollar - we can invest them and be rich!! haha

I love you, Kely, and I hope you have a great time in France. And I'm so glad you have Danielle with you to keep you out of trouble!! :-)
