I love to travel...

It's about 6am June 26th, I've justt woke up. Everything seems to have went wrong this trip...
right now I should be getting up and getting ready for a church service we've been lookingg firward to for a long time. Instead we are driving through kentucky in a storm... I'm just watching the lightning. The sun isn't up yet. I just ate a cinnamon raisen bagel and I made the mistake of putting honey on this bagel. The honey is just too strong for this time of day and this bagel.

There is so much unexpectedness to traveling. And I love
it all. Even the transportation issues and breakdowns.
like it's ridiculous we weren't able to bring the
bus... "I'm so glad we don't have a last name like weiner..."-my mom. She says stuff like this to stay awake since we've been driving all night and only stopped twice for fuel and to put air in tires. Also we seem to have an oil leak we didn't know about. And I just invented a toilet. See since we can't
stop driving Grace woke up and was about to wet her pants. And there's not a place to pul over. So I just was rudely woken up to "do something about it!!!" so I took a pot and put a garbage bag or 2 in there and voila. A little toilet anyone would be proud to use.

Anyway, it seemed like every vehicle we tried to take had some problem and we couldn't afford to fix it; and we would (well not me.) work on it and then something would happen and we'd have to work on a different one. We ended up taking a mini bus that we haven't had on the road since 2006... I'm hoping everything will keep working. Go ahead and pray for us if you want. We would appreciate it much.

So, I don't really love that part of things. But it's just part of it all. And if I spend time
getting all worked up over problems with vehicles, people, detours & deisel prices I wouldn't get to enjoy the lightning, the ben and haley lover lover song at the shel station, and a very cold half of a cinnamon raisen bagel.

Hello Summer 2011, you've just barely begun (and despite the ridiculous bus,van, trailer problems)I think I'm gonna like you...
