Settling in…
I had big plans to post pictures from a cross-country trek.
I had big plans to give gas mileage averages and gas price comparisons from all sectors of I-40.
But when push came to shove, I just drove - long and hard. And by the grace of God and the help of my family, I made it to a new home in Fresno, California. With a trailer, it took a bit longer than the 40 hours estimated by Google maps, but my brother David and I made it in three and a half days, spending the latter half of today emptying truck and trailer and piling up stuff in the living room.
We had a few moments of teeth-gnashing right at the beginning before the trailer settled down, one stop in Nashville that was fast enough to be terrifying, and a few moments of terror as my gas gauge rode well under “E” for miles in Middle of Nowhere, New Mexico. But God is so good, and none of those led to the problems they could have - and the rest of the trip was uneventful, and as enjoyable as such interminable travel can be.
This weekend is for unpacking, and on Monday I add a new job to the new home…thank you for your prayers.
