Da Salt Mines

 Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! Today was unusually salty. It was a good salty and guys I got to go to a bookstore! I got three books for super cheap too! And I got a little too much coffee today. Overall it was a great day if I'm being honest. Please, enjoy.

Okay first up, why was today salty? I know all of you are wondering. Well here's why, I went to a salt mine. Gaspppp. I wasn't allowed to lick the walls which makes sense but also is a little sad. We went on this elevator 650 feet underground. The elevator ride was a bit sketchy in my opinion but that's because it was pitch black at one point in time. When we got to the bottom it was a giant cavern of mazes with plaques and giant rocks to look at and feel. It was so fascinating seeing all the artifacts and reading the history but by far my favorite was the area that held the movie props. I LOVE movies so to see the movie posters and props was so cool! We went on two different train tours and the second one was much longer. The tour guide on the second one was HILARIOUS. He joked around so much but gave so much information as well. All in all the salt mine was very cool and I enjoyed it immensely! 

After the salt mines, my family drove into the small town and we went to a bookstore! I LOVE BOOKS! We also went to a coffee shop and got some coffee but first, books! So the bookstore was mentioned by a friend of my family, Merlin, and of course we stopped by. The books were so cheap! Like I got three books for twenty bucks! Heck I go to the Book Loft and three books is fifty dollars. So, I might've done a happy dance when I found the three books. I got the Diary of Anne Frank, A Daring Sacrifice by Jody Hedlund, and The House at Saltwater Point by Colleen Coble. I am so excited to read all threeeee!! Then we went to the coffee shop and I got more caffeine! Probably a bad idea but I had more homework to do so it's fine! 

For supper we had these really cool hobo sandwiches. Which was we just made sandwiches in little cast-iron thingys and cooked em over a fire. It was so good because it was pizza sandwiches! I ate two of them! Leanna has done an amazing job of hosting us and Rod is super funny and asks Zane and I lots of questions. I have enjoyed our stay a ton! That is enough for tonight so I will catch you guys next time for more meanderings!

Kickin off the Krazy

Hello fellow Homo Sapiens!! My mom told me to make this blog for school (yuckkkk) but I figured why not have fun in the midst of school! So, my first post, I know, I know, the big question is “what are you going to talk about Micah?” Well that’s an easy answer, while I could strike up a conversation with a wall, I have an easier solution. A ROAD TRIP! See, my dad (I call him padre often, just for future references), has to visit a bunch of churches all over the good ole USA. Thus making me, my younger brother Zane, my mom, and my dad live in an RV for the month of September and travel all over. So the good news is, I actually have something to talk about instead of just merely say “uhhh I did school today. And read a book.” To start off my lovely little blog (who am I kidding, we all know it’s gonna be crazy 😂), we are going to talk about weddings. Yep, you heard me, a wedding. I know so many of you are asking, “MICAH YOU GOT MARRIED???” So I will answer it right here, heck no I did n...

FAMILY FRIENDS

 Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! Today was an early start! My parents woke up at 5:30 am to start the drive from Arther, Illinois to Kansas City, Missouri. I woke up briefly when they first started driving and migrated to my parent's bed and slept for another hour or two. After I woke up, I chatted with my dad for about another hour until I decided to waste my life watching Gilmore Girls.  Can someone explain to me the point of Gilmore Girls and why it's weirdly addicting to watch it??? Like the whole show just has a ton of arguing and sarcastic comments that are really funny. I find myself laughing but at the same time, I'm bored with all the fighting that goes on between the main character and her mother. But anyway, that's enough of my thoughts on addicting Gilmore Girls. After our long drive, my mom had a meeting with the company she (and I) work through. THEN we were FINALLY on our way to visit our friends! We parked our RV in their yard and I bolted out to give everyon...

Chillin with Mr. Lombardi

Me and Mr. Lombardi Hello my fellow Homo Sapiens! It's already time for my second post! It feels like I wrote the first one just yesterday....wait, guys it was just yesterday. We are on our way from the good ole state of Wisconsin to I have no clue where. I realize now that the nickname for Wisconsin people, a cheesehead, is so accurate. And the people embrace it. There was cheese themed stuff everywhere. And lemme tell you, it was TORTURE for someone who can't have dairy. I see cheese stuff and think "ooo that would be yummy" but then I remember the stomach pains I would have to endure in the future....I guess some things wouldn't be worth it. But guys it was cheese....  Anyway! Enough about cheese, The highlight of the day yesterday by far was visiting Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. Although I am not a Packers fan (GO NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!!), I felt the need to be supportive for the Packers. The only reason I felt that was because my sister, Lydia, ...
