Day 4 The Home Stretch

Hello, Randy here. We didn't post last night because we made it home after 16 hours and 879 miles from North Platte, Nebraska! We were exhausted and quite road weary. The sinus infection I've been fighting all week with over the counter meds finally knocked me down. I went to the doctor today and got the proper medication. A couple of days rest should have me good as new. Mindy left to go home to Michigan this afternoon. She text messaged me that she feels so low and fast in her car after four days in the beast!

We delivered the truck to the Forbes' house this morning. They were very happy to get their stuff back. Their son and daughter were going to help them unload. It was gratifying to complete the mission. Mindy and I had a good four days together in the truck. Time for good conversation and bonding. We didn't get too cranky until yesterday! HA!

Looking back, we know that God had his hand around us the whole time. There were challenges with weather and my illness, but he never promised us it would be easy, just possible. Phillipians 4:13 says "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." We give all praise to Him who saw us through. We didn't do alot of pictures yesterday as it was all about the miles. When you can smell home, nothing else gets in the way! Also, Nebraska and Iowa are not as photogenic as the western states, at least in the winter time. Thanks for following along and leaving your comments. It was encouraging to us both! God bless you all!

Randy
