The Lord your God is with you, he will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing Zep. 3:17 - 75 hours in the car to see loved friends and family...

Jan. 18, 2009 - 75 hours in the car to see loved friends and family...

We took a break for a last minute trip home to Findlay, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pa. This was the first time we've drove, but I actually prefered it to flying. Driving was much less expensive and stressfull-- oh, and much more educational!

Brett's family is in Ohio, and all live very close. We loved seeing most everyone. His Dad, wife, and kids made the trip up from Georgia, which was a great surprise! Although Mya was not feeling well in Ohio she started to perk up at the end. We also all took turns with a stomach bug, but thankfully it didn't last long---or get shared with the others there.

My family, and some of Brett's family lives in Pittsburgh. My brother and his family drove in from Ohio and My sister and her husband came from Michigan! The kids loved seeing the city--even though it was freezing, and seeing family they've been missing.

The Lord had us in his loving, and protecting hands. It's truly a testimony of his grace that our kids, all under the age of 5, sustained that much time in the car- pleasantly. He also allowed us to notice our tires needed replaced before we got on the road for 24 hours home. He supplied all our needs on the trip and we are so thankful!!!
