somewhere on I-70 between Kansas City and St. Louis

the list of the cast of characters begins: jon the budding musician!

Isa, please notice that he is getting tired just THINKING about the marathon tomorrow.

Rachel and Sam the roommates. Please note here that this is the day before the marathon and Sam is so hungry he is almost taking a bite out of her face, the poor sweet thing, she doesn't even know it is coming.

Tito. Need I say more? I mean, just look at the man.

The Fateful Weekend of April 8th and 9th.

it sounds so serious, doesn't it? well, i guess it's not so much serious as it is fun but sometimes it is fun to be serious. but usually not. i know this is going to put a wrench in the whole recapping of the japan craziness. BUT, i mean, you gotta know what else is goin' on in the land of janice dang. this is my new moniker! somehow, mail at my work will be mailed to this unknown woman which is actually me.

so.... i wanted to put some photos on my blog of sam's st. louis marathon and our mini roadtrip out there to support him. We all piled into the five seater--Isa, Rachel, Tito, Sam, and myself. We all rotated as co-pilot and relegated Isa to the 'mushpot' seat (middle, back) since he was the last to RSVP. tough t*tties isa! better luck next time. but when we got to st. louis we stayed with our very warm and welcoming friends of jon and josie. they make about one of the cutest couples and are engaged! congrats. they also have a great dog named cajun and a cat named meow-face. seriously.


please enjoy the pics. most of the time pictures are better than words anyhow.
