It has been a long time since I've written anything on this blog. It's hard for me to think of things to write. But I guess I should have something to write at least every week since we travel someplace new every weekend. Sorry it's been so long, Deb. I do have something interesting to relay this morning though. This last weekend was full of things that took a long time! Andy and I were on our way to Chesterton, IN. Chesterton is just across the Illinois/Indiana border. Our estimated total time of travel was going to be around 6 hours, not including stops to get out and walk, use the restroom, or have lunch. Instead our trip took a total of 12 hours! It took us 6 hours to get to the toll booth on interstate 80-94, and another 6 hours to get from that toll booth to our destination (that leg of the trip was only supposed to be a half hour). It was awful! I had to get out of that car and walk and go to the bathroom so bad! By the time we finally got to a gas station, it was another long wait just to use the restroom! We got back in the car only to join another traffic jam, so we stopped to have pizza. After all of that, we finally got to the pastor's house--only 6 hours late! Thank the Lord we didn't have any trouble getting back home last night. For those of you wondering why the traffic was so bad, it was because of the recent rains in the Chicago area last week. I guess there was standing water on the Eastbound lanes, so they were forcing everyone off of the interstate at exit 1 in Indiana. I'm just thankful that we encountered that on our way out, and not on our way home.
