So, after breakfast and hanging out til around noon, the Denver girls headed back towards Colorado, while the Denver boys + Paul/Bethany + Megan went back to Kansas City. We weren't really paying attention when we started the journey back and just followed what the GPS said. However, we kept going on this
highway we didn't know and not going towards I-70. We ended up pulling out the travel atlas and discovering that the GPS had taken us all the way up to near Nebraska! We abruptly tried to figure out the best way to work ourselves back down to 70. Luckily, we ended up hitting 70 at the place it intersects with Colby, KS and the Oasis of the Plains (the best travel stop in Kansas). We loaded up on some
Quizno's and Starbucks and got back on the road. Despite our travel through the wilderness of northern Kansas, we made it home in pretty good time (around 6 hours).
After dropping off my stuff at my house, I went to pick up Nigel at Carissa and Sarah's house. I stayed for a yummy dinner of taco salad. I am SO happy to get back on a normal eating schedule. I have had SO much junk in the past few weeks.
Yay for real meals!
On the way home from Beloit, the girls also made plans to keep each other accountable to our New Year's Resolutions on a monthly basis. So, we all broke our resolutions down into goals for this month. We're going to work out on Tuesday nights before the Biggest Loser and do accountability, then go to someone's house to watch it. My goals for this month are:
Physical: work out 4 times each week
Spiritual: pray every day this month
Life: organize work papers and come up with a system to stay organized
