From Texas to Alabama

Matt and I were in San Antonio this morning and now almost to auburn. This is the longest we have ever driven in one day. We had planned to stop half way, but we made great time and the kids were doing awesome, so we kept going. It's 11:00 and all 3 are asleep and we have 2 hours to go. I am amazed at God's blessings in my life and am so thankful for my family.

Matt and I will celebrate 9 years of marriage on Tuesday. This is just crazy to me. I love this man with my whole heart. He is my best friend. God truly gave me a wonderful blessing when he put Matt in my life!

Turning around right now, i see 3 precious sleeping faces snuggled in their pjs with their blankets and lovies. What a blast we have had driving everywhere these past 2 weeks. I know years from now, I will look back and think about all the great memories we made.
- pulling over on the side of the road to let them go potty... Having the car potty is what made this trip possible!
- hearing shep and spence discuss angry bird, telling eachother good job, watching them pass their iPads back and forth to let the other beat a level for them, hearing them sing, asking me to come sit back in the van, snuggling with my arm as I squeeze between their seats....
- watching Sophie dance and sing to mickey, ask for more snack, watching her throw her lovie and then put her little hands out and call for it like she doesn't know where it is, call for me "hold mommy, hold mommy",
- watching all 3 run around at rest stops and gas stations.. Some people walk their dogs, we walk our kids...
-convincing them that the movie lion king isn't too scary

And so many more... Too tired to think at the moment! We had the best time making memories on he road and while in Texas with deedee!

Tomorrow back to our routine! I can't wait!! :)
