It was wonderful to go and surprise Kristen! Liam was surprised, too. Dad and I had fun deciding how to shock her. He had me call Kristen on my cell phone from her front step. I talked to her and then Dad opened the door. She said, "hold on a sec", said hello to Dad, and I popped out from behind him. She shrieked and kept saying stuff like "why are you here?" Poor Liam got shook a bit but did not get dropped. He is such a sweet little peanut. I decided to call him Cinco. It suits him.
The visit was of course too short...next thing you know the four of us sisters are crying together to say goodbye. God did not mean for sisters to have to be apart, it must have been a mix-up in the Sovreignty area, right? Then, Dok and I got in soon-to-be Nathan's little pick-up for the LONG drive home.
Random thoughts from 30hrs in a pickup w/ Dok.
I need coffee. She needs cocoa.
If we were to ever tell you we dont snack on roadtrips, that would be a heap-big lie.
Sis likes to buy donuts but not necessarily eat them.
She should have been born a bird. She needs feathers all around her.
I have a new appreciation for Daniel Powter, is that how you spell his name, Sis?
Mraz is still the man as far as this road-tripper is concerned. What would we do w/out him?
Derek Webb married well.
We hate semis b/ they first hated us.
There is nothing to see in Arkansas.
The Mississippi is glorious.
I love the great wide open of Texas just as much as the treed mountains in the east, Sis is not so convinced.
I think a good way to annoy Sis (and keep her awake) is to sing 80s songs really loud, not that I tried that or anything.
We are desperately missing our Virginia sisters.
You cant see to drive if you are crying about missing your Virginia sisters.
Cracker Barrel helps all things seem a little better.
Im sure Sis will have to add some to this.
She's the best. Id ride another 30hrs w/ her any day, BUT not in Nathan's truck.

Thanks a lot Aub, I was doing fine this morning and now am a blubbering fool. I miss you both so muchly.
What a sweet post. I'm so glad you two had that time together...memories forever.
Hey, I am from Arkansas so there must have been something there at one time. Course, Jeremiah still claims to have taken the best thing out of that state when he married me.
I miss Virginia sisters too. Yes, Mraz is still the man. In fact, I just now listened to 'did you get my message?' for the umpteenth time just now.
"Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send
Do they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
And come back together again"
blogger isn't letting me edit this post to put my list in, so here are a few of my random roadtrip thoughts:
>>aubrey and i are the only warren sisters with the same body temperature. if i had driven with any other sister, there would have been much fighting and fussing about the air/heat. aubrey and i both like the heat on all the time, so it worked out well.
>>aubrey has a country music radar. seriously, she somehow knows what staions country music will be on in every major city. i don't think i want to know how that happened...
>>pickup trucks are definitely for boys.
>>we said we wouldn't buy snacks at gas stations, but...okay, we didn't exactly stick to that.
>>30 hours was not long enough to convince her to fall in love with patty griffin.
>>i'm pretty sure that semi-trucks are the devil. (sorry, uncle mark)
>>lora, when jeremiah married you, he took the ONLY thing out of arkansas.
>>feather pillows and down comforters are the best.
>>sobbing and driving shouldn't happen at the same time.
>>sisters definitely were not created to live 2000 miles apart.
don't worry lora, i'm sure Dok meant the "ONLY good thing in Arkansas :-)
uh, yeah, that's what i meant. sorry, i still have a leaker brain. :-/
LOL-Too funny! Love you gals!!
