I knew I should have......



Remember in the Bugs Bunny cartoons when he always ended up in the wrong place he said, "I knew I should have taken a left in such and such." well today was one of those days and to get you up to speed I need to fill in a few details. Two days ago we hit a piece of tire tread in Salt Lake that ripped up my motor home and both trailers. Today while driving in the desert I threw a rick and hit the windsheild of our brand new truck and put a huge crack in it. And to top it all off the trnasmission messed up on the new truck I bought that would pull the trailer and not burn up the transmission. And to ice it off we died in the one place that had no phones or cell service for 45 miles. (I am not exaggerating) Money is runnig short and time is creeping in and we still have half the country to cover. At this point I began to question if this is worth it and if my journey was one of significance or selfishness. But this is what happens in life, you experience life and life is messy and hard and exciting and frustrating all at the same time, but it is life. I want experiences and I will not allow the pain of experience to rob me of who I am destined to become. I have felt God more fully outside of my routine and know that He wants my whole life and this is the path that will take me there. So here are a few pictures from the journey. NAd i encourage you to find your messy life.

Dude, sorry about the hassle. But the Quote your looking for is "I knew we should have taken a left at Albuquerque".
Hope the rest of your trip goes a bit smoother.
Yes, we knew it but couldn't spell it so late last night. Thanks for helping us. Tonight we could have though because we are currently in Albuquerque.
I am so sorry for all the vehicle trouble you've had trying to get home, I really hope you hung in there though and went to see the Grand Canyon. I have really enjoyed the pictures since I am missing ya'll so much. Please tell Matthew I said Hi since I haven't talked to him since last week! You'd think he might miss his mom!
