Our Journey to Washington: Day 5 (Part 2)

Well, we have finally made it...to Washington at least. Tomorrow Lord-willing, we will arrive in North Bend.

We crossed the border into Washington about 40 minutes ago and as I look around me, it is so strange to think that this is my new home. What a weird feeling!

Anyway, we drove through Montana and Idaho today....amazing! The beauty was just breathtaking! As we drove on I-90 W there were mountains, some snow-capped and some full of trees all around us. I have never seen such beautiful scenery in my life! And it all attests to the greatness and glory of our Creator!

"O Lord, our Lord how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?" (Psalm 8:1,3)

Now that I've excited you all by describing the incredible scenery we saw today, unfortunately you're going to have to wait until tomorrow to see the pictures we took....sorry, but we are all exhausted after a long day of driving. :)

Well then...goodnight!

Our Journey to Washington: Day 4

It is 10:15 pm as I write this post, sitting in the parking lot of the Bozeman, Montana Walmart Supercenter. My dad and mom are in bed with Charity and Ari is getting ready for bed. I thought I would write a quick update on our fourth day's adventures before I go to bed.

For the most part, all we did was drive. We were planning on visiting Yellowstone National Park today, but didn't go because of the weather. (The weather forecast said it was supposed to snow, with temperatures of around 33 degrees.) If the weather is better tomorrow, we will visit Yellowstone. Anyway, we drove through Wyoming and into Montana today....we are almost to Washington!

The fun thing about driving through Montana was that we saw our first real snow-capped mountains....beautiful!!! Here are some pictures of them...just like the pictures of the Badlands though, they do not do justice!

#1: This was our first view of some "real" mountains! The clouds were partly covering them, which gave the mountains an awe-inspiring look.

#2: Another look at the beautiful mountains that God has created!

#3: This picture was taken with a house and some cows in the foreground...it seemed like a picture of the Montana life.

#4: I loved how the river was in front of the mountains in this picture!


#5: This picture was taken from the Walmart parking lot. The mountains were all around us...a spectacular sight!!!

Sorry I didn't have much of an interesting update today. Tomorrow, I'll post some more pictures of the family, instead of just mountains. :)

Prayer Requests:

• Nice weather so we could visit Yellowstone, if that's the Lord's will
• Continued help with motion sickness
  

Answer to Prayer:

• Ari and I are doing much better with motion sickness
