Tires and sick boys
Django is about to leave in awhile to get the tire fixed. Prayers appreciate so we can be on the road ASAP.
Also Ryan and Stephen are sick. Not real sure what is going on. Please pray that it passes quickly. Thanks!

Weekend traveling
We have made it to California! I had a post ready to go but it needs lots of editing so that will have to wait. But we are here and will continue on to Novato tomorrow. But first we must get our tire fixed. Praising God that we are safe because the tire became extremely hot and about blew up while in the desert. There is a Walmart not far from the motel so Django will be there at opening in the morning.
My impression of California so far....well.....ummm... LOTS of DIRT! I really thought we were all going to go bonkers before we got out of the desert. It was neat to see a desert for the first oh say 10 MINUTES but after several hours ( or more) we all had enough. Caleb started to panic when we lost cell service. Ryan was the van comedian and Micah swore we were all going to die! So there you have it folks...our crew was not overly impressed.
New Mexico was really neat as were parts of Arizona UNTIL we got to one area where we were overcome by the heat. YUCK! Heat and dirt are just not my thing.
The petrified forest and painted desert was really neat. It reminded me some of the Badlands in SD.
I have had some mountain driving experience now and only one panic attack, well two if you count Albuquerque. THAT is another story.
We only lost my in laws and Allison for about a half hour in NM, stopped to help a couple having car troubles and I was so full of caffeine that I swore they would kill Django and leave us all for dead. Didn't happen ,their car was unfix able and we got on our way within 20 mins or so. AND we saw a cool Rt 66 covered bridge.
I am sure there is more, we are seeing God's hand move in many ways and also having our share of attacks in a spiritual sense.
About to fall in bed and try to sleep for a few hours. I will post pics asap.
I did add a few to fb.
Night all...
OH, my luck with finding a good wifi connection has been rough. :P

Thursday, June 27, 2013
Several weeks ago we were approached by my FIL with the idea of taking a quick trip to California. My grandmother in law had a desire to see her sister who lives just north of the San Francisco area.
It is a once in a lifetime type trip and we hardly could say no.
Two weeks later, we are just a few days from taking off on our adventure out west.
I am not a blogger or a writer but I have been asked to keep a journal of our trip. So here is that attempt to do just that.
I will attempt to do my best at posting photos and a journal log of the days happenings.
It's time for bed now so more from me over the next few days.
God Bless and prayers appreciated as we head out soon.

Caleb and I went shopping a few days ago for most of our supplies for a few days.
