When we originally planned to drive across the US from Oregon to Washington DC I had all kinds of plans. But, as I have learned from our limited experience with the State Department, things don't always go as planned. My mom and I made the first leg to Utah without Brandon. When the movers were finally able to come, he hopped on a plane and we were headed out soon after. From the moment we started it was a time crunch and most of that time went to the actual driving. In the end we were able to see a little bit of a lot of places. <br />
How can I describe the overall feeling of the trip? It was chaos and adventure. It was terrifying and exhilarating and fascinating. The contrast between cities in this country is incredible. Each place has its own style and its own feel. Since we were so short on time most of our stops were the tourist sites which were packed with people in the peak of travel season. Since we were also short on funds we kept mostly to what we could see for free. <br />
The kids weren't perfect. They are kids after all and there was a fair share of whining and "are we there yet"s but I have to say that they did a great job. It is hard enough to leave family and friends to move to a new place but we had them in a new hotel every night as we traveled. Even as an adult it was a strain. I started to feel like the car was our real home. It helped that we were able to visit good friends and family on our way. A friendly face in a new place is worth gold.<br />
The first day was straight driving. We went from Ogden to Council Bluffs, Iowa. We mostly saw nothing so the air balloon crossing over the freeway was quite a delight. <br />

Out of all the things we did and the places that we saw the kids will tell anyone who asks that staying in hotels was their favorite part of the trip. Especially when there was a pool. Since everything had been so last minute Brandon was basically booking hotels as we went because we were never quite sure where we were going to be. The places we stayed ranged wildly from dive to luxury which actually made things pretty fun. We never were sure what we were getting until we pulled into the place. Generally by the time we were arriving all of us were so sick of being in the car we didn't care much anyway. <br />

The kids also loved picking movies from the Red Box and returning them in different places. And they had a good time choosing snacks from the convenience stores when we stopped for gas, and getting fast food. We tried to make sure and do some of our meals by buying things at grocery stores. That way we still had some fruits and veggies to keep everyone from feeling gross.<br />
I knew that we were going to be in the car for a fair share of the time, but knowing and actually driving those roads is a vastly different thing.<br />

Just about every night there was a battle for who was going to share a bed. The word is that if you are with Ike or Rosy you had better be ready to be kicked. I know it is true because in New Jersey they messed up our reservation and instead of one big room we were in two which meant 1 adult and 2 kids in each bed. The first night I got stuck with the littles and we didn't sleep much at all. Actually, I must have slept a little bit because I woke up sleepwalking in the night. I was dreaming that Ike was on the subway track and I grabbed him from his bed and carried him over to the corner of the room before I regained a handle on reality. The second night was better when I had Rocky and Daisy. We stayed up late watching Food Network.<br />

Our first site was Winter Quarters. Maybe we were just fresh on our trip but it was a lovely center. The kids all got dressed up in pioneer garb and pushed a handcart around the place. <br />
I am sure it was because we had also just recently packed up all our belongings to move from a place we love in hopes of a better future but I felt a special kinship with those people. Some of them were my own ancestors and they were probably scared when they left too, but everything turned out all right. They were able to create a beautiful home in Utah.<br />

Our next stop was Nauvoo. We got there an hour before closing and learned how to make rope. That night the kids got to participate in the children's parade and we saw the last variety show performance of the summer. It was fabulous. <br />

We stopped in a bunch of the buildings. I personally loved the printing office because I'm all about the written word. I was also really touched by the house of Wilford Woodruff. There wasn't anything that special there, but the missionary was a lovely senior from Georgia and she spoke right to my heart. Her message was mostly about the idea that God knows the desires of our hearts and even if He has other plans for us, He still has compassion for how we feel. By the end I was bawling and she was bawling and I was determined to be a more dedicated person. One time a woman in our Eugene ward said that being Mormon was in her DNA and it has always stuck with me. My ancestors chose this spiritual language and it is a literal part of who I am, mind, body and heart.<br />

Over and over again on this trip I was shocked to find myself at a place that I had heard of all my life but didn't truly believe was a real place. I mean, how many times did I spell Mississippi in elementary school but here I was, actually putting my hand in it? I never thought that these places were fictional but it blows my mind that you can just hop in a car and drive until you are looking at the Statue of Liberty or the Lincoln Memorial. <br />

We went to the Carthage Jail where Joseph and Hyrum Smith were killed. My Grandma Howard told me that her family came from that area. She said that an ancestor had his name on the jail because he was a judge there at one point but now all the names have been removed. Just as I said being Mormon was in my DNA so was being a Mormon persecutor.<br />
They have done a good job trying to make the visit positive but it is sad. It is so tragic that those two fathers never were able to return to their families. <br />

The drive from Carthage to Terre Haute was my favorite part of the whole trip. We went through miles of gorgeous cornfields. We were on back roads instead of freeway and it was a beautiful morning. The corn was as high as an elephant's eye and all that.<br />
That drive delivered us to our dear friends the Davis family. These guys were our family in Eugene and it was encouraging to me that even though we haven't seen each other for two years the bond is as strong as ever. We picked up just where we left off. They made an incredible dinner for us and we stayed up all night talking about memories and catching up on news.<br />

I had gotten a serious case of homesickness and Michelle and Jim healed me almost instantaneously. They helped me remember that friendship still exists even when there are states, and possibly countries separating people.<br />
<br />
After feeling so happy in Indiana it was hard to get back into the car. There were some super grumpy kids. It looked like it was going to be a long, awful slog so we pepped things up with some Slurpies. Let's just say they were well-received.<br />

The motel we stayed at in Niagra Falls was 100% road trip nostalgia. It looked straight out of the 60s. The Moonlight Motel...it was just too perfect. The room wasn't great for the price but it was worth it just for the sign.<br />

Niagra Falls was on our original itinerary but then it was bumped but then I had a big tantrum and it was returend, and then Rosy had a big tantrum and it was bumped again. Somehow we still ended up going there. The deal was that we could go, but under no circumstance were we to get on a boat and get splashed by the water. Rosy has such weird things that bother her. I don't know what it was but the idea of the boat stressed her out. <br />

Well, the thing about Niagra Falls on the New York side is that everything costs a hundred billion dollars and there is only really one cool thing to do. Go on a boat.<br />

We walked through hordes of tourists throwing money around and did get a nice little view. Everyone was super mad though because the day was so hot and it would sure have been fun to go out on a boat. Even Rosy agreed in the end, but by that time it was too late. <br />
Lessons learned at Niagra Falls. If you have a chance to go on a boat, TAKE IT! <br />

Brandon cheered everyone up with an impromptu game that he made up on the spot. He is pretty amazing. I mean, I don't like reading all those public posts where people go on and on about how perfect their significant other is, but seriously. This guy is a road trip genius. We had 4 kids ready to kill each other and he put them in a circle to do the wave and before you know it they are all laughing and cheerful. I would have just told them to shut up and buckle themselves in.<br />

I wanted to spend longer looking around some of the places I lived as a missionary but there just wasn't time. I guess it didn't matter much anyway because I hardly recognized anything. I never would have recognized my old apartment building except I could never forget the theater and dance club across the street, The Hippodrome.<br />

Springfield has followed a lot of other cities in becoming what looks like a pretty hip place to live. <br />

Roslindale was an even bigger surprise. For some reason I remembered it as a quaint little suburb but it is a happening place. The hustle and bustle felt foreign. It made me sad that I didn't have more of a grasp of the city. I did recognize the square, and the library (of course) and the Cathedral by our house that Sis. Smith always called La Cimitarra because the steeple looked like a weapon. <br />
The church seemed vaguely familiar. I wonder if things have really changed that much or if I just have a horrible memory. I definitely remember the top floor apartment in our house. It looks pretty much exactly the same. I am curious if there are still sister missionaries living there. I thought it was adorable then and I still do now.<br />

We got pretty good at grocery store meals that can be made in hotel rooms. The rotisserie chicken was a favorite of Daisy. The kids loved it because they got to watch cartoons while eating. Note to self: Next time you want to have a vacation just get a room at the closest hotel and eat in front of the TV. Everyone will like it more than they liked Niagra Falls.<br />
<br />
We walked the Freedom Trail in Boston. I did remember Boston Common and it hasn't changed a bit. I love that the city has created the brick trail to follow. It is kind of magical to follow. My favorite part of it is the section that most people skip that goes right through the North End in Little Italy and across the Charles River. <br />
I really enjoyed going back. It brought up a lot of feelings that I hadn't felt in a long time. It made me realize that the city has changed but that the roots are still the same, and that is kind of true for me too. <br />

I loved being on the T again. I found all the stops that I used to take off the orange line. I wish we would have had one more day so that I could have taken the kids to Cambridge and gone to Harvard Square. Too bad I have sworn off travel for the rest of my life.<br />

This was the aforementioned hotel in Jersey. You can see how fun it is to sleep with two wiggle worms...and that isn't even considering my crazy sleep walking.<br />

Since we really only had one day in New York City we had to make the best use of our time. We rode the Staten Island Ferry and the Subway all over town. We did some shopping at Times Square and ate at the Shake Shack.<br />

The rest of the day was spent at Central Park. It was super hot and humid and the kids really enjoyed the splash pad. I got so hot and tired that I fell asleep right on the turf. I was kind of jealous that Ike just got to sleep and be carried around by his dad.<br />

Rosy had a moment where I thought we were going to have to leave her in New York forever. Brandon talked her down with a little help from a popsicle. The humidity was great for her hair though. <br />

Our last stop was to get some pizza. The kids loved seeing the Statue of Liberty and they really liked the Disney store. I have never traveled during the peak tourist season like this and I kept laughing at how absurd it all is. Humans are bizarre. I mean, I know there are like 6 billion of us on the planet and most of us don't even live in this country but walking around the city it is hard to believe that so many people can inhabit such a small space. The contrast between those huge empty cornfields and the nonstop flow of people in and out of the M&M store is almost impossible to comprehend. <br />

We had so much fun with Derek and Aynna and their kids. They have carved out a pretty cool life in a great part of the city. We hung out with some neighbor kids who showed off their skills at dancing and parkour and walked to Fred's to get Water Ice. I have never heard of water ice before but I'm a fan. <br />

The kids reconnected with their cousins and we spent most of the afternoon just talking story. Nobody was really interested in doing any sightseeing. Derek has a way of getting us all laughing really hard and it was fun to just hold still for a moment and enjoy being together. We got dinner at an awesome Vietnamese place and the kids all watched a movie together, sleepover style. They were great hosts and even packed snacks for us to take on the rest of the trip. <br />

We stopped in for sacrament meeting at the meeting house next to the temple. On the way out we traded cameras with the other tourist families and each got a photo. The temple is super cool looking. It is an strong grey color that matches with the surrounding buildings. I found it striking.<br />

Our Rocky wasn't really feeling it and despite my begging wouldn't run up the steps to pose. She was bummed out by the rain. We've only been out of Oregon for a month and my kids have already turned into whiners when it comes to precipitation. Daisy and Rosy picked up the slack. <br />

The last leg of this trip wasn't really that long but it sure felt like it. I think it was only like 3 hours but it was 3 hours too long. I guess the last mile of any kind of journey is generally the hardest so I shouldn't be surprised.<br />

We finally pulled into our new building. When we got out I turned and looked at the car and my eyes filled with tears. I honestly didn't think we would make it and now my feelings for that Odyssey are so tender. We are ready to get started here in our home for the next couple of months. In a way it was helpful spending 10 days in 10 different places because now 4 months feels like forever.<br />

The kids get a gold star for being so good. It was a crazy thing that we asked of them and they tried their best to be happy and well behaved. <br />
And a double gold star goes to Brandon. He drove every time we were in a city and the traffic was crazy. He planned all the hotels and figured out free stuff to do. He came up with games and activities and kept us all in good spirits. <br />
We went so many places so quickly that we will all probably forget most of what we did but I hope that these kids always remember crossing from the West Coast to the East Coast together. America is beautiful.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530559414171466058.post-62968501407553588452018-08-09T16:44:00.003-07:002018-08-09T16:54:06.039-07:00Rando<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rosy has been having a lot of issues lately that has contributed to some drama. Like for example, someone took a sip from her drink the other day and it was a full blown meltdown for 30 minutes. Sometimes as a mom it is hard to handle all of the problems that come up and I feel like I just can't do it. Then I see a photo of this little girl in a tube with goggles and all is forgotten. Who couldn't just adore that little girl?<br />

I have been sort of freaking out about leaving Eugene and also the chaos of the future so my mom bought me one of those swanky Minky Couture blankets that are big in Utah. It lives up to the hype. I am almost 37 and I have a new security blanket and I am not one bit ashamed.<br />

The rest of us had a great time at The Oaks. We opted to just order appetizers so we could try some new things. They were delicious and greasy and mostly dipped in fry sauce.<br />

I took a run down memory lane and went all around Weber State. While I was on campus I had all kinds of warm feelings and happy thoughts about my time there. It made me feel so good because even though I don't spend time much on the campus anymore, it is still a big part of my life.<br />

We went out to Pineview Dam for Cambria's birthday. I haven't been out there for quite a while and it was lovely. The kids had a great time. I did too because I got some one on one time with Cara which is like gold.<br />

We went out to Springville to hang out with Matt and Kristin. They are great hosts. They cooked delicious food and we had so much fun hanging out. I love seeing my kids be loved by family members.<br />
Springville is an incredible city. The library, the art museum, the rec center, and of course, the Howards. <br />

The kids played and Matt made fish tacos (tofu for the vegetarian). We sat in their yard and watched their garden grow. The kids hardly slept but it was worth it for the time spent together. I don't want to take all the credit but I basically built this family by setting them up and I am so happy when I see what a happy home they have created.<br />

I never thought I would grow fond of the drive between Utah and Oregon but it has happened. I will miss the giant slide in Hines and the gorgeous stretch on the McKenzie Highway. Brandon and I have lived in Eugene for 10 years and made the trip 2 or 3 times each year. I guess you could say that we have really bonded with the route. Each time it feels so good when we finally pull into home, one on each side.<br />
We are planning on driving across the rest of the country to check it out but I doubt that there will be another stretch that will compare.<br />

The first few days were a baptism by fire at the Martarano Family Reunion. I didn't do a great job reaching out to meet distant family members because we were all just too excited to see cousins and aunts and uncles.<br />

We have adored the Eugene 3rd Ward. I have been challenged in the best possible way to take responsibility for my own spirituality. I have met strong and intelligent women and men who have become true friends and mentors and who have reached out to my kids with love.<br />
Almost every week Brandon and the kids sat in the car while they waited for me to chat with people and it took a long time because there were so many that I wanted to see. In fact, I had a hard time making it to class because on my way I would run across someone I had been dying to talk to, which is a shame because our Sunday School lessons were incredible.<br />

These guys are from Cuba and it was really by chance that we got to be friends. Rojelio rode with us to school for half of the year and I grew closer with his mama and grandma as time went on. We had some pretty cool experiences together, some of them could even be considered miracles.<br />

Amazon Pool has saved our sanity many a summer day. From the authentic Japanese food and shaved ice to the sandbox and the coveted shady spots, I loved that place. It felt so great to find an antidote to the heat in the water. Mostly I liked it because every time I went I ran into people that I loved. Friends from church, school, and the community all meet up at the pool. I even ran into a couple that I met almost 20 years ago when I worked in Alaska. When we lived at Spencer View we could walk and when the lifeguards blew their whistles we walked home in the warm evening our bodies still cool from the water. I love the feeling of satisfaction that a day spent at the pool was a summer day well done.<br />

And the last place that we went in Eugene was the same one we went last year when we left. I already wrote my ode to the Richeys pool. I didn't write earlier about how much I love the Richeys themselves. I could talk to Kathryn or Troy for hours. Their house is a meeting place for awesome people.<br />

And that was it. Our Eugene adventure has come to an end. For real this time. I wrote earlier that this year was borrowed time and it felt like a great bonus. I was able to strengthen old friendships and make some new ones. I had a lot of time running, walking, and hanging out with people I love in a beautiful place. It hurt to drive away from this house but I am so glad that I have made such good memories that I can take with me.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530559414171466058.post-82916750960584372582018-08-07T17:35:00.000-07:002018-08-07T17:35:09.390-07:00A Run to Remember<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I went with Laurie and Heather to Medford to do a section of the 100 mile race they are preparing for. I didn't end up with many photos but I will never forget it. Let's just say it was hot and extremely intense and it made me recognize once again how much I love my friends. Also, I have a much better idea on how to deal with heat exhaustion and a renewed love of cold water.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530559414171466058.post-36062318590840626352018-08-07T16:32:00.000-07:002018-08-07T17:32:16.386-07:00Yard Sale<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We sold most of the things we had in a giant yard sale. I have never done something like this before and I guarantee I will never do it again. Part of me thinks that everyone should do it once in their life, just for the experience. It is a bizarre experience to welcome strangers into your personal space to have them weigh and measure your belongings and eventually have them walk away with all of your things.<br />
We met some interesting people and earned almost $700 so I guess it was a success. I am still exhausted, a little traumatized, and a lot less burdened by stuff.<br />

Because of all the chaos in our lives right now we only camped for 1 night in the whole summer which kind of breaks my heart. Oregon is so gorgeous we would have been better served by sleeping in our house only 1 night.<br />
We checked out the new Tillamook Cheese Factory with about 6 million other people. We had promised the kids ice cream but then when we saw the lines and the size of the cones we ended up just going through the McDonald's drive through for soft serve. It was probably the most happy moment of the trip.<br />

The campground we had planned on was full so we did some searching and found a gem of a place. It opened up into a wetland area but when we took a walk that evening we came out on a gorgeous beach.<br />

The month of July was filled with a lot of activities. We went to free lunch in the park almost every day. We picked blueberries and went to story time. We hit almost all of the $1 summer movies and I took naps in the air conditioned theater. The kids made projects on Artie the Art Bus and we played at the splash pads. We watched a lot of Mako Mermaids and listened to The Greatest Showman songs. We did a lot of swimming a played way too many claw games.<br />

The magic moment when Daisy won, not 1, but 2 rubber duckies after only 30 minutes of trying.<br />

Daisy and I ran the Butte to Butte 10k with our friends. I couldn't believe how strong she was. It pushed her right to the limit but she kept going. I love the tradition. It is so fun to see how many people in the community participate. I am such a sucker for a community event.<br />

Our little Ike turned 3. He is charming and we all just adore him. He is a chill kid who likes to play with toys. He loves trains, cars, farm machinery and the color yellow. He still waves at every construction worker or man with a beard that we pass. He loves his dad, his grandpa, and Doug Leonard. He also sort of likes all the women in his life...if the guys aren't around.<br />
He is my little buddy in the jogging stroller and in the shopping cart. He is happy and loves to laugh. He talks like a little caveman and giggles anytime anyone besides his dad speaks Spanish.<br />

After a couple of incidents with Ike getting into trouble while I tried to shower I finally wised up and put him in front of a computer screen. I know it is bad parenting but his favorite thing to watch is YouTube video clips of people unboxing and putting together Thomas the Tank Engine trains. He looks so cute when he is engrossed and sitting still. Sometimes while I am passing through it catches my attention too and I get sucked in. This also happens with Barbie and the Dream House and Mako Mermaids. Don't tell anyone. <br />

Brandon was invited to speak at the Romance Languages banquet. He was one of two speakers and just sort of mentioned it in passing in case Ike and I wanted to attend. I am always willing to show up to an event that has free food so we showed up. The first speaker was this adorable young guy who had just finished his Bachelor's Degree. He had a whole crew of boisterous fans in tow and his talk was fantastic. He told about attending a family reunion and how his great grandfather wept when he was able to speak his native tongue with a member of the younger generation. Everyone was delighted.<br />
I was nervous for Brandon. It isn't easy to follow an act like that.<br />
But then he started talking and there was a clear distance between the Bachelor's and the PhD. He was quoting philosophers and poets from Italian, Portuguese, French, and Spanish. I don't remember all the details but I remember he talked about how in our society it often seems that the loudest voice wins the argument but the true academic is the one who takes the time to listen and to learn from people who see the world from a different perspective. He also talked about how the training he had as a PhD student prepared him to work for the State Department.<br />
I can't describe how lovely it was. The professors were all bawling. <br />
It was clear that he had made the jump and he no longer belongs with the students and he has become the professional. <br />
I was pretty impressed. <br />
<br />
<br />
I figured since it has been 5 years of my kids attending Buena Vista that I should volunteer at least once. I kind of avoided the school, actually. My heart wants to be super involved in the PTO but I have thought we were leaving town soon for the last 5 years. Since this was actually, for real, the last year I actually volunteered at the jogathon.<br />

I love taking a photo every year on Mother's Day. It has been incredible to see the growth in these babies. They are finally starting to get useful and can actually do some chores. My goal is to have them completely running the whole house in 10 years and I can spend my day reading books and taking naps. <br />

Daisy was the student of week and she put together this poster. She wanted to add 5 more pictures of Ike making weird faces but I told her she could only use photos that she was in. <br />

Brandon casually mentioned that he would be giving a speech at the Romance Language banquet. I figured that I would go for the free food. When we got there I had no idea how incredible his talk would be. He had his advisors in tears. I was so proud and inspired by all he had to say. One thing that stuck out to me was something like this: In a world that believes that the loudest voice wins the argument it is even more important that we stop and take the time to listen and recognize the value of listening. He talked about the truth that the more we learn the more we are humbled to realize how much we have yet to learn. <br />
I hang out with this guy every single day but I was impressed. He has clearly made the jump from belonging with the students to belonging with the professionals.<br />
Ike was also clearly impressed.<br />

I thought that after all those days without kids I would be all recharged to be an awesome mom. It worked the opposite. They came in like a freight train. They were exhausted, filled with candy and emotional from having to say goodbye to all their grandparents. They had a great time on their trip and Brandon had spent a week caring for them as well as driving back and forth from Utah.<br />
I thought I had accomplished a pretty tough feat in running that race, but when I saw Brandon I realized that he had run his own marathon.<br />
I don't have any of the photos but I know they spent the wedding dancing their hearts out. They went to the Treehouse Museum and Rocky had 3 birthday cakes. They even went to the Union Station to see the trains, and look for ghosts in true Howard fashion. Since they came home every day Ike asks when he can go back.<br />
