The Land of Oz

Well, we made it out of Omaha finally. The movers did not bring a big enough truck to load everything for us so they had to come back on Tuesday to load up the rest. We will get the first truck on Friday and then the other truck on Sunday. It was very frustrating but it will all work out. We left Omaha around noon on Tuesday and went as far as Dodge City. Since the movers will not be here until Friday (yet another kink in the system. They were SUPPOSED to be here Thursday) we took our time getting up and out this morning. When we came to Liberal Kansas, we saw a billboard that said "Come and see the official home of Dorothy." Buddy and I thought the girls would love it and we were not in a huge rush so we went for it. The girls LOVED it. Buddy and I even really enjoyed ourselves. It was really a neat thing to see. We made it to Albuquerque around 8:00 and we are EXHAUSTED. We got everyone fed and in bed. I went to take a relaxing bath and realized there was no plug for the tub. So Buddy went to the front desk to get one. Nobody was there so he leaned on the front counter to wait. A police officer comes around the corner and tells him to please move off of the counter because they will need to get fingerprints from off of it. Turns out, the front desk was held up. Now mind you, we have not been here very long and our family has been in and out of the lobby a few times. I am overwhelmed with emotions. WELCOME TO NEW MEXICO!!!!
