Warrensburg, Jefferson City, and St. Louis, Missouri
(x-posted in the Veritaz Productions Journal .)
I am back with the Rally Team. After a long "few" weeks finishing up my summer semester at schoo l I am finally done and back with Rally Across America. It is so good to be back and it feels natural to rejoin the crew! Hey everyone!
I flew into Kansas City, Kansas and Nick picked me up from the airport. We then drove to Warrensburg, MO and met up with some friends of friends. They let us crash in their living room and kept us entertained until late into the night... one word: chocolate chip cookie dough. It was all good except for the part where the airline didn't bring my bag to Kansas City and left it in Savannah. They ended up having to drive it out to me in the middle of the night. Where we were staying was about an hour or so from the airport.. maybe more. My bag showed up at around 4:30am. I am so thankful that they actually sent it out to me though- they were threatening not to. They thought it might be more acceptable to send it to St. Louis. That would have stank.
We left that morning early and followed the guys out to Jefferson City, MO. I have decided that the capital cities of most states are all very similar. It seems like a lot of them exist in the shadow of the larger cities of the state yet still have their own charm and community. They are strange to me. We met up with a wonderful family there. They treated us so well and fed us well too. They both work for the Catholic church and it was very interesting talking to them about the missions that they do and the classes that they teach. I love meeting people who are excited about their faith!
The next day was a long one... we traveled minor highways through MO and stopped at a few little towns. This one in particular was fun... I forget what it's called. It was right before Washington, MO. While Austin and Tom sat in a subway eating lunch I explored a little with Nick. We all ended up sitting in Subway talking to these really fun girls who were on a local high school volley ball team. It really hit me then: Oh my gosh I'm almost finished with college. I am the only one on the tour right now who hasn't graduated but I only have 10 weeks of school left. These girls were already back in high school starting the year and I don't start my last quarter of college until mid September. I just couldn't believe it. I am only 10 weeks away from having my BFA. AHH! Anyway they were super cool and they even bought me a peanut butter cookie for my lunch!
We arrived in St. Louis later that night safe and sound. I really enjoy St. Louis and I'm excited to be back here.
Last night Nick showed me some of the footage that I haven't been able to see since I wasn't here with them on the tour. It looks so amazing I can't even believe it. I am so proud of him and Matt and how well they have done. The colors of the footage are vibrant and the substance, important. So far everything I have seen looks awesome and it just encourages me more. This film is turning out to be a beautiful success and I can't wait to start really piecing it together. I feel so privileged because I get to see all this great stuff and nobody else does! haha. We have another clip that we are thinking of posting on the website... I'll let everyone know when I decide to do so.
More on St. Louis and Jan later!
We could be closer than you know,
