So so tired and so so thankful

Mommy and baby patiently waiting.

Our van getting her new fuel pump.
Winning at Roadtrip Bingo!

Happy to be back on the road!
Peak a boo!

Man, what a day!
So trying.
So not what we expected, yet we are so very blessed.
I'm thankful for our van sputtering out only about a mile from the exit.
I'm thankful for van coasting off the exit into a gas station parking spot.
I'm thankful that that parking lot was shared by a car fix it place.
I'm thankful that Eliel, the owner, hadn't left for Rapid yet and was willing to wait his entire day out just to help us!
I'm thankful for the next door gas station that had a booth for my family to sit for hours to wAit out the rain and car repair.
I'm thankful for my mom's friend who had the part we needed.
I'm thankful for my wonderful grandma who drove that part 100 miles one way to us.
I'm thankful we have the funds to pay for a new fuel pump.
I'm thankful for my amazing kids who couldn't have handled this let down of a day better.
I'm thankful for our amazing God who worked this all put for us.
I'm thankful at this very moment to have my head on a pillow and have an end to a 13 hour leg of our roadtrip  that should have been 7.5.
Now for bed and a new start tomorrow.


Breakfast for dinner at IHOP :)
Riding off into the sunset!
