My dad and Ashley joined me on the road trip to Houston. I know what you are thinking....if I didn't have room for my stuff coming to MN how did I have room for Ashley. My parents got me a car top carrier for christmas so we had room for her. We packed up my car on the coldest night MN had seen that year. Lucky for me my mom is a master car packer. Don't listen to what she says....WE HAD PLENTY OF ROOM!
My dad is not much of a rider so he drove....the whole time! I wasn't complaining because I have certainly had my fill of driving. Dillon would not have liked out choice of hotels but we had some beer and good company...do you need anything else?

It's hard to believe we only had to make one turn from MN to TX. We got to know I-35 well. We drove by Toby Keith's hometown and kicked ourselves for not stopping to see the the football field....you know the one where he wrote her number on the 50yrd line. We did not make that mistake when we got to Dallas....we stopped to see where JFK was shot and we saw found Elvis too! We got my aunt Cheryl (lover of all things Kennedy) some souvenirs since she couldn't be there will us. We even took a picture from the window for her.

| Ash didn't think Elvis smelled very good but by the looks of us he might have felt the same way. |

We got down to Houston and the move in was very smooth. Me and Ash went to get our nails done and my dad took a nap on the couch that he was happy he didn't have to move in. New years eve we went to see the Rockets play at the Toyota Center. It was a great time. I have gone to a few games since and I love to watch them play. We started the night out strong but by midnight we were back home asleep on the couch!

| Happy New Year! |
