Finally in Florida
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to let you know of the adventures I have been on recently. I worked with my Church in Haines, OR for about 6 weeks after graduation. That was a very good time. About one week before that time was finished I went to Portland, to a wedding, and picked up my sister and her boyfriend. Then after one more week, we packed the car (Frank Gazerro gave me his 2 door 85' Buik, which we fondly named Izma (Emperor's New Groove)). My sis, her boyfriend and I left town, of course we had to stop at like 6 places to say goodbyes, before we made it to Boise where we stayed the night with Josh Beaudin. We headed out early the next morning, planning on getting to Greeley, CO that night. However God had other plans for us. We made it to near Rawlins, WY, and the car overheated. Well eventually we got to a Fireworks stand and the people helped us. They tried to fix the car, and we made it to Rawlins, where we got the oil changed, and then decided to try and head on instead of staying the night. We made it to about the highest place on I-80 (in the whole US) before it overheated again. So we slept for an hour and went a mile to a rest area and slept for a few more hours, until daylight. Then we drove a little while and it overheated again, allowing us to make a stop in Buford, WY population 2. We added some more water, and basically continued on to Greeley, where our dear friends the Preshaws helped us out. We got the car in a shop, and rested. To sum up the next part, we took the car out after it had been fixed, and conveniently found another problem...This happened a couple times. Our plan was to make it to Missouri and then I would ride to Florida with my family and my sis and her boyfriend would drive to WI. Well my family was leaving Missouri, so I found some airplane tickets and flew to FL. My sis (Deb) and Brett made it to WI with only one more slight scare. Praise the Lord. So, that's what I've been up to.
