A long drive...

Tuesday morning our family headed out on a long road trip.  This weekend we will celebrate my graduation commencement at NNU in Nampa, ID.  Since much of our family lives in Idaho we will also be spending time with them. 

The drive was long and tiring! Tate (our dog) came along with us! This was his longest ride ever! He did very well.  Now that we are here he is itchin' to get outside and do some exploring.  The kids traveled as well as to be expected.  They've made this trip often so they are somewhat used to it. 

What I'm not used to is how a whole middle section of the States cannot have Starbucks or even just good coffee places along the expressway.  In Nebraska, I typed Starbucks into the GPS and there wasn't one within 450 miles...OUCH! But I finally found one in Utah! :) Gotta love those gift cards that I received for graduation gifts!!!!!

So we are here! But not without a heavy heart.  A precious friend of mine is in the hospital back home. She is probably not going to make it.  Please pray for her.  She needs a touch from God in so many ways.  My heart is in constant prayer for her.  If you are a prayer-er, please lift her up! Pray for a miracle in her life!
