So it has been almost a week since we arrived here in Portland. The weather is almost perfect...except for today and tomorrow. Apparently we are flip-fopping with Oklahoma on the temperatures. The houses here have no air conditioning cause there is usually not a need for it. Overall the weather is beautiful, just not today. We played inthe silp-and slide- with Jonas and Meridith. It keeps us all cool.
Our the drive here was pretty good except for the boring part of it. 25 hours of the 28 hour drive were pretty boring. It gets really pretty about 3 hours from Portland. If you thought Idaho and Wyoming were supposed to be beautiful, you were wrong. Not on our route. BORING!! Thomas rode well. We didn't even have to sedate him like we thought. About 40 miles from Portland we were driving along the Columbia River, which is breath-taking by the way, behind a boat. Something flew out of it and Justin didn't have time to swerve. We didn't know what it was, but we thought it had flown out the back. Than we smelled burning rubber. We pulled over and looked underneath to see a huge wake board with built-in shoes had splintered into our axil and the boot was melting on our muffler. We were blessed to have pulled into a closed muffler shop, but the owner saw us and pulled into the parking lot. He jacked up our car so Justin could get the board off our axil. All was ok. The car if fine. We were late for dinner, but had our lives so everyone was forgiving.
We are staying in our friend's basement at the time which is wonderful but we are ready for our own place. Please continue to pray for us. The adjustment is going smoothly but we are emotional. We miss all of you very much!!!
Love you!
...Stay tuned for the world's largext prairie dog and pictures of the wake board. (We kept it as a souvenir!)
