what a trip!

we just pulled into chance's parents' house in colorado. and wouldn't you know it, the second we tried to restart it, the starter died. i feel incredibly lucky that "gertrude" got us to our destination before she quit.
remember that tick i picked up the other day? well, i wasn't the only one. max got 4 ticks and he wasn't supposed to get any, since i buy the good stuff to repel the little beasties. so we stopped at a vet's office in st. louis and he got a lyme disease vaccine. then, by the time we got to the end of missouri, the rain was pouring down on us, so instead of us driving all the way through like we had planned, we had to spend the night outside of kansas city.
but we're here now, and everything is good...except for the volkswagen, "gertrude".
