My adventure to Florida

So....on 9/4 I began the long car ride from the town of Springville, UT across the country to a small town in Florida called Navarre. It is in the panhandle and is located nearly 30 miles from Pensacola. The first day was long. Erin, who happened to be my driving partner, and I drove through Utah, the southern tip of Colorado, and part of New Mexico. I must say, the worst drivers reside in New Mexico and speed limit signs are nowhere to be found. We stopped in Albuquerque to sleep. I must say, the lodgings were AWESOME!!!! The next day we awoke early and started day 2 of our trip. This included traveling through the other half of New Mexico and began our journey through 627 miles of Texas......Not much happened along the way except we stopped at this gas station in NM that had disgusting bugs along the sidewalk completely dead and probably cooked!!!!! Let me say again, it was DISGUSTING!!! Once we got into Texas, the drive seemed to take FOREVER! We drove for almost 11 hours on day 2 and ended up in Dallas, TX, where, once again, the lodgings were fantastic! Once again, we slept. The only difference is on the third day, we awoke at 6am and was on the road by 6:45am. We drove through the rest of Texas........it took forever!! The next state we entered was Mississippi, which was a short drive compared to Texas. Then we hit Alabama. We were so close and both getting very anxious to arrive. At that point we were starving so we stopped at Cracker Barrel and had a delicious meal. After filling our tummies, we continued our drive over the Alabama water into Florida. The journey was very nearly coming to an end and we were both extremely happy about it. We arrived in Navarre around 8pm and began unpacking my car. Luckily, Nate was here to assist. Erin stayed until Tuesday, which unfortunately was only one day :( Since I arrived, I have applied for many jobs and had the luck of being able to hang out with Nate, Amber and cute little Garrett. Two days after I got here, a lady in Nate and Amber's ward offered me a twin sized bed, complete with a head and foot board. I now have a bed and am loving it. Not much else has happened since I have been here. I would like all the haters out there who thought my car would crap out to know......it is still running and has not had one problem since leaving Utah:) There will be more to come as more adventure start happening.
