Lessons I Learned On The Road

We left on Tuesday for Fergus Falls with a couple from our church to attend our Annual Convention. I love coming back to Fergus! (and the sun is out here which makes it even better)

After 3 days in the back seat of a truck and sleeping in a fifth-wheel in parking lots, I have learned a few new things about being on the road.

1. Coffee drinkers have to stop more often

2. It can snow in June (we had snow a couple of times in MT)

3. you can't go wherever you want to in a fifth-wheel

4. ginger works best on straight roads (the ones in ID and MT are like being in a jackhammer)

5. the world doesn't stop even when you have a massive hard-drive crash (Chris lost EVERYTHING on his computer 2 days ago, including the sermon he was working on to preach at convention on Monday)

6. Montana is REALLY BIG!

7. ND has beautiful rest stops (it has to have something going for it)

8. Aliens make great food and have really yummy ears, but Space Aliens isn't as much fun without the boys.

9. You feel more human after a shower.

10. It's great to have friends! (we are staying with friends while we are here in Fergus) Thanks Martinsons!

Those are all very valuable lessons. But it sounds like you're having a great trip despite the weather and hard drive crashing. I can relate to that one... it's like losing an arm, or half a brain. But life will continue.
Take care!

Sounds like your trip out was just as long as ours was! I will have to tell you all about our trip when we get back.
