Our Epic drive home






















As Kim, Tyler and I left beautiful Afton we started out on what would become an epic journey. First we stopped at the local dinosaurs located just outside Cokeville where Kim and Tyler attempted to tame the wild beasts. Afterwards we stopped at some railroad tracks and looked around at the abandoned cars. Tyler climbed on top of one and then we were priviledged to see a actual moving train!! How cool was that! Then we were off to Fossil Butte to see what real fossils look like. We also learned that distant viewing doesn't mean two inches. :) After Fossil Butte, we went to Rock Springs and toured the local Walmart where we had lots of fun with different objects and scenarios. All in all we had an awesome trip!

Life's little Miracles

These past two weeks I have seen God's hand in my life many times. I was involved in two accidents the week of the 14th and there were no injuries, my finances have all worked out and I am still have to drive my car. When I first came upon these trials I was mad at God for making my life so miserable and by and by as the days have come and gone I have come to see the many things that have come from it. I have learned patience, independence and responsibility for my actions. I also learned that life really isn't as bad as I think, I still have friends and a family that love me. This has been quite the learning experience and I hope that I will carry the lessons from it for the rest of my life.

The Beater






Well here it is. The famous beater I have been telling you about. This car came into my possession through a friend who happens to be the driver for the route I ride everyday. He said that I could have it if I put the money into making it start. So, $200 later and I have a running car that can get me from my house to work and back again which is all I want for right now. Although she ( the car) is not much to look at it runs quite well considering how much I and some friends have put into it. I have to admit that driving manual was a new experience, but not as bad as I had anticipated. There are still some bugs to be worked out, but I am hoping that comes with time. Until then..." Robin, to the batmobile!" :)
