1700 miles down...800 to go

Today has been a day for new things. For those that know us know that Shane and I are very much planners. We spend a bit of time each night researching the plan for the next day, hotels, our route, even when we think we will stop to eat and where. Well...we kindof threw all that out the window. As we were driving through the lovely state of New Mexico looking at all the desolate but awesome land, I pulled out the atlas and was looking. I found a "back road" that would lead to a place called Farmington, NM. This was a little town near the Four Corners, which we had planned to stop on Saturday to take pictures of us being in 4 states at 1 time, and we could get there a wee bit quicker if we took this route. I showed Shane and he being adventuous as me said..."Let's do it!" We exited, fueled up and headed down state road 371.(this road was previously state road 666) We saw such beautiful landscape. God truly does amazing work! I will post a couple of pictures but they will not do the scenery justice. After settling in our hotel room, we headed out to see what we could find to do to burn some 2 year old energy. The mall was not too far so we stopped in and had dinner at Fuddruckers. We could not believe they had one in the mall. So after we ate we shopped around and then headed back to the hotel for baths and bed. Tomorrow we are heading to the Four Corners monument and then into Utah. We are hoping to make it to Provo or Salt Lake City tomorrow and then in to Idaho Falls on Sunday. We are hoping to get there on Sunday and start the home search on Monday. Of course we will keep you posted on our journey and thank you all for the prayers for our safe travel...we feel them. Please remember to pray for a buyer for our house....THANK YOU! Love you all!
