We left Louisiana on early Friday ... ok, we tried to leave early Friday but everywhere we went to finish up that "last little thing" something, as it always does, went wrong. We got into Kansas City late Friday night, enjoyed some beer, good food, and free live music at the Gordon Biersch in the Power and Light District. The next morning we got up early for another exciting day of driving through Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota, until we arrived in Fargo. It was very pretty country but it all kind of looked like this:
It was very pretty and green, but also very ... very flat. We ate at another brewery restaurant in Fargo, which was also pretty good(and they are planning to build a location in Minot in only one and a half years!), got to watch the Heat give the Celtics a piece of humble pie, and had an all in all good evening. This morning we drove through some more flat land and arrived at Minot Air Force Base via the "Magic City Gate", which had "ONLY THE BEST COME NORTH" proudly emblazoned on the top. Finding no reason to disagree, we proceeded to the dorm room that Alex had reserved for himself, only to find that the key that they gave us did not work. Not only did it not work, but the dorm office was closed. Perfect. Luckily someone in the building helped us into his dorm, which turned out to be a little bit of a disappointment. Lucky for us, our friend from Barksdale is letting us crash with them for a little bit, until we get this whole dorm room situation figured out. Starting with tracking down the right key.
On a side note, as soon as we got into town we stopped by the one and only Kroll's Diner for lunch where they had 2 for 1 root beer floats! Awesome! Alex was not nearly as impressed with the fare as I was, probably cause the only thing they had for him to eat was a fish sandwich and I forced a root beer float on him(TWO FOR ONE!), but I know that I will be going back. (In case you don't know about the wonderful Kroll's Diner.)

I also wanted to show you a picture of what 10 pm in Minot, ND looks like. It's kind of a crappy picture cause I didn't want to turn off all of the lights in the room, or open the window just to show you, but you get the general idea. It is very bright.
Last but not least, wedding invites are out! I can't believe the wedding is only 2 months and 8 days away! I am extremely excited and yes, I have been having some Bridezilla moments, but hopefully they aren't too bad for those effected by my outbursts.
Alright, I'm drawing all the shades and heading to bed. Gotta save up all that energy for unpacking the truck!
