road trippin' isn't always fun

hello friends...

well after weeks and weeks of finishing work on the house...shawn has finally left seattle! unfortunately he had to leave in the pouring rain as he drove over the mountains..not so much fun. also not so much fun? the man got a sick within hours of leaving. he called me this morning and he sounds awful. he has body aches and a sore throat...the works. i am praying it will be a 24 hr kind of bug and quickly move through his system. its hard enough driving a huge moving truck with our car attached to it and 4 dogs (one of whom is preggo!) riding in the cab. since the truck wasn't completely full, shawn set up a bed in the back where they could sleep at night...only thing he didn't think about? its COLD in the mountains at night. thank goodness he had the dogs then- four warm bodies to cuddle with! so maybe it wasn't such a good idea despite the fact that it kept him from having to park the huge truck/car combo.

he's headed to denver on tuesday... dear friends of ours lost a brother to suicide last week... and shawn is stopping to be with them at the funeral. please pray for them..we love them so much and cannot fathom the pain they are going through. please pray for the peace of God to guard their hearts and the presence of God to be supernaturally comforting in this time.

more later.
