Tyler, Nick and myself drove to Nebraska this weekend to celebrate our grandma's 80th birthday. Let's look at the trip in numbers...
2037
Number of miles put on the rental car
1
Number of states the rental car is supposed to stay in

infinity
Number of times we stopped to pee
12
Number of grandkids present at the house.
22
Number of people in my grandmother's house at one time
3
Number of large pizzas that my uncle ordered which he thought would feed all 22 people. Some poor souls had leftover lasagna that afternoon.
1,000
Total number of times the rest of the family gave said uncle shit for ordering a measly 3 pizzas for 22 people
4
Number of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books I read on the trip.
12
Number of Shield episodes we watched on the way home.
50
Number of inspirational sports moments watched as we sat uncomfortably as out-of-towners in a local bar.

Number of Jaeger shots consumed by my husband, because it was a free round of drinks.

Number of wrestling matches that occurred in the living room between various relatives.
A whole bunch
The number of times I thought, "in spite of all the crazies I am related to, it's good to be home."

i am glad you got to visit with the family..
i am used to all of the family wrestling matches, being the only girl and all.
What?! How did I not know you had a blog? Yes I loved Lee. I want to see the mini-series to see if he is portrayed like I think he should be. Was that the first time for you to read the 4 pants books?
