Well, we made it to Texas safe and sound! We actually arrived a day early as we decided to just drive on through the night and get here. Jake's Dad, John, was expecting us Wednesday night and we pulled into town at noon on Tuesday. Jake called him up to asked him what he was up too, he said he was down at the taxidermy shop (we are in Texas remember). John asked Jake where we were at and Jake responded that we had passed Albuquerque now (no lie, we had!). As soon as we hung up the phone we walked into the shop, it was so much fun! Needless to say John was happily surprised. It was also very special as it was the first time he got to see Jordan. Thanks to Skype, Jordan already recognized him and they had big hugs straight off, so sweet!.
Praise the Lord John has internet at his house. The last four places we have stayed at during this past month have had no internet. We have felt a little disconnected from it all (we have internet on the phone but hard to write long emails, blogs, Skype, updates, and all the rest on it). Thankfully our good friend Ronald McDonald helped us out when needed, but it is lovely to be able to sit in your PJ's and write a blog again. Hoping to have another Skype session with all the kids at the the Children's Home soon too (miss them sooooo much!!).
We are here for three weeks (with a few days of travel to south Texas) so I'm planning on catching up on all my emails and this blog. So much to post about; Yellowstone, Oregon, Redwoods, California, the Grand Canyon, so stayed tuned for some pretty amazing photos. Well, I'm sure you can guess where the below photo was taken, thought I would add it as they say you should never post a blog without a photo. So here she is:
