ford econoline blues





well some how we made it to provo, befuddled and nerve-wracked, the van clanking and roaring down the quiet late night provo streets. as you mostly all know we had a blow out on the road outside wendover and therefore darin once again did not get to enjoy the salt flats, but he got to show off his manliness in changing a tire in the wildly blowing wind and cold.
we slept in the van and woke up to play with the kids and noticed a while later that the van was sitting a bit lopsided - another FLAT!!! on the other side this time. we spent the day getting that tire off (with jarom and bella's help) and taking it in the jeep to get it patched up.
then, in the late afternoon on our way to sam's to get two NEW tires, the transmission truly began to scare us. at a stop sign, we basically could not go forward. we transferred the kids to amy's car and she followed us to the car shop in pleasant grove where a very nice man named dusty earnestly helped us out. and we left our little home on wheels there.
so that's where it stands now! i will keep you posted on the status of our upcoming journey. keep your fingers crossed and say your prayers for us!
meanwhile it is bliss to be around these delightful children. they are making me draw "mommacake, daddy cake, bella cake, darin cake....etc..." on the magnadoodle. it's pretty fun.
love you all!
