Last Two Weeks in Missouri

   Since I'm terrible at keeping my blog updated, I figure I'll share plans for the next few weeks while I have the time, before we get busy. Yesterday at work we gave our two-weeks notice, we're down to our last bit of time here in Missouri. This stop on our journey was different from our first one, Missouri has went way more smoothly than North Carolina did (for me at least!)

   Although we stayed in both places for the same amount of time, I was able to work a lot longer here than I did in North Carolina. So I've had more time to bond with my coworkers, and I'm going to miss them all once we're gone. I'm thankful for all the people I've met here, all the different backgrounds and lifestyles and interests we have, yet we feel pretty close-knit. I love my job but I'm hoping to find something more fast-paced in Texas, the slow days have killed me. Branson is beautiful but I couldn't live here year-round. When the off-season hits a lot of attractions shut down for January and February, I can't imagine saving all year just to pay the bills for two months straight that I wouldn't have work. 

   Our next stop is Canyon Lake, Texas. I won't be along for the journey between here and there though, which is sad because driving is my favorite part of all of this. I'll take a plane back to Virginia for a day, then hit a truck show in North Carolina for the weekend, then be back on a plane to Texas. It'll be a short trip home but I don't want to make myself any more homesick! I was talking to my boss yesterday and made a comment about, "just wanting to go home." I've never felt like more of a child until I said that, it sounds so weak. I am excited to be home and see some of the leaves changing colors, these trees out here aren't quite the same.

   I'm counting down these next two weeks that I'm sure will be crazy busy, so I'll try to keep everyone updated as best I can, and hopefully I can a lot of y'all for the 30 or so hours that I will actually be in Virginia!
