NOW I feel grateful....

Do you ever have those moments where you say "oh yea, I AM grateful"? I have had that moment this morning. After an eleven hour car ride back from Utah, where my baby threw up and our car stopped working at the same time I can say, this morning, now that it's over, that I am grateful.

My car still smells like throw up, and it still isn't fixed, and we still don't even have the bill for the total, but I am grateful. I am grateful it wasn't super-too-late to call my Dad, and Greg's Dad, and ask "what just happened to our car". (Thanks Dad for getting up and taking my call!) And I am grateful that our cell phones were charged and had reception. I am grateful that when Auburn threw up I didn't panic and pull to the side of the interstate, but rather the truck pull out a mile up the road. I am grateful for Curtis Garcia from New Mexico that helped us out by jump starting our car with his truck. I am grateful to finally be home and able to fix and clean my car so that I can go buy some milk tonight. I am grateful for food storage, because without it we would have to wait until after I went to the store, after Greg got home with the car, to eat.

I just wanted to say a big thanks for all the small and big things that helped us on our way, with all the big and small people along the way.

I am glad you all made it home a little late and a little stinky, but safe and sound.
