All these things shall give thee experience.

So we had a little family experience that I don't feel like blogging about it because I'm trying to put it behind me but there were a lot of positives that came from it as well. More positives than negatives. There are a lot of details and blessings that I won't tell because they are too personal or sacred.  So here's the story:

We were driving home from visiting my parent's in Henderson, NV and about 30 miles north of St. George we heard a noise and the car felt like a flat tire had occurred. I pulled over. Perry looked at what he could see (it was completely dark) and couldn't see anything. I noticed the wheel was bent in. I called Geico. We got a tow back to Washington, UT (basically St. George) and got a hotel. We stayed in the hotel for 2 days. No car. It was being fixed. The cars wheel bearing ran out of grease and wore out and broke. The mechanic said that normally if this happens on the freeway the wheel would come completely off and the car should've flipped. Blessing number one. Several more blessings transpired. One of which was they didn't charge us as much as they should of for the work and parts they put into the car. People were so generous. There are just too many blessings to say.

 I can say for sure that I was emotionally stable through the entire event until we got home and I looked at our bank account. But yet again I prayed to feel like things would be alright and I immediately felt at peace. Everyday something new happens that continues to bless us during this experience. I'm grateful that God watches out for us and answers our prays if we are listening or watching for things to be grateful for!

That's amazing!! I am SOOO glad your car didn't flip! That's when things really get scary, especially on a curvy, hilly drive like that!

SOOO, I totally didn't know you were pregnant!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Did you announce it formally (online lol) or did you just put that little sweet pea timeline up?
