Altus

So, we are here in good old Altus, OK. We've had a few long days of travel, but they went really well. We flew from Seattle to Denver on Sunday, stayed in Co for one day and drove 9 hours to OK on Tuesday. The flight went well even though Alyssa didn't get her own seat. She did so much better than she did a few months ago. She was pretty easy to entertain, and of course watching Nemo help a lot. The 9 hour drive to OK was what we were most worried about. Alyssa hadn't been on a car ride longer than 2 hours or so, and even those 2 hour trips were rough. We left at 4am hoping she would sleep, and she did! She slept til 7am and then fell asleep again later. We only made one stop the whole time and Alyssa hardly whined or cried at all. So that was such a relief! Now I feel like we can go on longer car trips without going crazy!

Nate started up down here yesterday. We should be here about 3 weeks, give or take a few days. Alyssa and I are finding things to do and so far it seems our normal life has carried over here. It is good to know that I will get to see Nate every day even if he is busy. Our room is pretty small but I think it will work out ok. Alyssa is sleeping in the closet (I know it sounds terrible, but she doesn't mind at all!) which helps the space issue. I'll try to keep you all updated on our adventures in Altus.
