30 June 2008 – Monday

I was up at 3:30 but Mary was up earlier because she did not sleep well. We were on the road by 4:06 and picked Taylor up at about 4:40. Taylor and Bob were dressed and sleeping on the couches in their living room and when I knocked on the door Bob sprang up like a Jack-in-the-Box.

The trip to Oregon was uneventful with full stops for breakfast and lunch it took about 13 ½ hours for the 850 mile trip. The weather was nice and the traffic was light except in Eastern Oregon where there was an unusually high amount of traffic that often kept both lanes slow.

It was nice to get to Tom and Shauna’s house and see them, Kelli and William. Tom has done a lot while we were gone – both in the house and in the office. He has become very talented with building things and I hope he can help us with our house when we get back from our next mission. I want to do a lot of remodeling and painting. I hope I am as enthusiastic about it as I am about the yard.

I am so far behind in posting pictures I may not get it done before we leave again…
