In a perfect world, I would have sat leisurely last night and typed a Memorial Box Monday….snuggled up in my favorite “bear” chair….but this world is not perfect, or at least mine is far from perfect!! Instead I scurried about putting the last pieces together to leave this morning.

I could not find Elijah’s backpack. The four littles have matching ones {thanks to a precious bloggy friend} but Elijah’s was missing. I prayed. I prayed more. The kids searched. As I was tucking Elijah in he said, “Let’s ask Jesus to find it.” I had not prayed with Elijah…so I said, “You pray boyfriend.” So he did. The sweetest, most precious little prayer. I tucked him in and thought of one last place….and there it was hanging under dress-up clothes!! I can’t wait for him to get up and hear that Jesus, who does not ever disappoint, showed mommy where it was. Yippeee Jesus!

We are heading through Colorado today and Nebraska….up by Chicago before long….

I will be updating the Twitter on the side bar throughout the trip. I will also be posting throughout the trip….and thank you for your prayers…I woke up this morning and wondered if I was out of my mind and then I remember the guy who hacked my blog last night….and yeah….we’re off!!
