Stuck in Iowa

Hi. I am in Sioux City, Iowa. Stuck. Our truck's battery died last night. Thankfully we are at a Holiday Inn so we are comfortable... but we are waiting for the repairmen to get here and fix it so we can get going! We are losing a lot of precious driving time!!!

So far (breakdown aside) things are going rather well. We stop for lunch at rest stops and have picnics. We eat dinner at resturaunts. C is surviving pretty well. He has his portable DVD player and a viewfinder with dinosaur pictures to look at that he really enjoys.

A is doing okay with his back--doesn't seem to be bothering him too much. The truck is actually pretty comfortable, just a little bouncy.

I am sad--missing friends. If I stay busy, I don't think about it, but if I am just sitting there, not doing anything, I have a little trouble.

More later...

Dude, Esther had the worst burger ever in Iowa. Stick with the wholesome farm stuff! Seriously, hope they get ya fixed up soon. Seems like everybody who does the Uhaul thing breaks down. Get to Idaho safe!

Poor Natta! Well, at least you are "comfy" at the Holiday Inn, and it didn't happen on the road! And, I'm sure you can appreciate a little land time rather than stuck in the truck time...I'm glad C is doing so well...he is such a good boy! Well, I hope the rest of trip goes off without a hitch...or, with a well-functioning hitch as it were...love you!!! can't wait to have you out west...and stop worrying! You are God's child...you will never NEED anything that He will not provide. TRUST in His promises, sister!

Just wondering how you are doing. I'm sure you are in Boise by now busy unpacking and such.
Much Love! Kate
