Wheaton to St. Louis to Oklahoma City

Oooook, it has been a busy couple of days - all day overseeing the movers load their truck making sure they only took our stuff and got it all, cleaning rooms as they got cleared, then packing up the Expedition and hitting the road around 6pm. It was a real bittersweet occasion - leaving beautiful Wheaton, which had become home to us, and our dearest friends, the Gracey's, behind while starting the journey to our new city and to our new home that we closed on earlier in the day. The initial part of the ride was pretty quiet to say the least...

We drove to St. Louis last night arriving around 10:30pm, getting situated in the room and getting SOME sleep before getting back on the road today. We drove to Oklahoma City, got checked into the hotel and then drove down to Bricktown (old downtown OK. City) to have some food at the Spaghetti Warehouse - it was great! The drives have been nice, uneventful, but interesting with the cats!! Dogs are so much cooler to travel with!!! Anyway, we are now back at the hotel getting ready to get some sleep before driving to Albuquerque tomorrow!

We are all doing well, thanks so much for your prayers - continue to pray for our journey. Michelle is pretty tired so pray for her as well to get a refreshing nights sleep and to be strengthened as we continue our trip. In relation to comments to our previous post - Greg and Rhonda, we are so sorry we didn't get to see you before we left. We walked down on the 4th and knocked a couple of times but no one came to the door. We didn't want to ring the doorbell in case Rhonda was sleeping... we are praying for you guys!!! AND, Nikki, we miss you a lot too!!!

I will try to post a few photos tomorrow if there is time - in the meantime, we are praying for you, thanks for praying for us! We love you... - Steve and Michelle -
