On The Road-Christmas Edition

Last Friday, Joe and I set out for Missouri to visit our families for Christmas. We hadn't been home at Christmas together since moving to Pennsylvania. I had convinced Joe that driving was the way to go but unfortunately that was a terrible mistake realized about an hour in.
Friday morning, the beginning of a snow storm that had already dumped plenty of snow on St. Joe was just creeping into our area. Joe mistakenly went out to breakfast with his coworkers which is his normal Friday routine leaving me to fret and load the car on my own. Margie, the vet truck had already been returned to the office and tucked safely into her parking spot. Eventually, we'd get on the road-Joe in the back seat where in fifteen minutes he fell into a beer and benedryl induced coma and I driving through some light snow.
Into Ohio the roads weren't too bad but it was snowing. Joe would wake up, we'd eat McDonald's and then he'd take over driving. Much too late and after alternating driving several more times we arrived in St. Joe.
Saturday, we ate lunch with Joe's dad, visited with a friend's parents receiving a crapton of kitchen supplies and then Joe went to the bar with a bunch of friends. I bailed citing a stomachache and Joe came home babbling like a fool as he's prone to doing when I'm not there to keep him in check.
Sunday, Joe's kid came over with his sister and we opened Christmas presents.
Monday, we ate birthday cake for Joe's big 33 and went to the movies. We saw This Is 40 and it was hilarious!!! I highly recommend it though it was about 40 minutes too long. That night we left to spend the night in Columbia.
Tuesday was Christmas and we traveled to DeSoto, opened presents with my family, and drove around.
Wednesday, we hung out before going shopping and eating some amazing Thai food with my friends.
Today, we are driving back to Pennsylvania. Luckily, the blizzard is mostly over and the roads are cleared. I'm very glad for that. Not glad that I have to unload the car when we get home though. We have way more stuff than we started with.
