Bumps and Bruises Along the way!!!!!

It is never easy to say goodbye!!! You know that you will see the person again in a few short months but you still question if you are doing the right thing. Then we are comforted by knowing that that is what we grow them up for!! We grow them up to send them out to be a light to the world. To become what God wants them to become, not what we want them to become. Dropping your daughter off at college all the way across the country is never easy. It leaves little bumps on our heart, but here is where trusting comes into play.

She will be fine!!!!!! God has to become her source. Mom & Dad are there for moral support but the complete reliance needs to be on our Heavenly Father that cares for us soooo much.

     More bumps and bruises along the way!!! We decided to bring our bikes along to ride through the RV parks. When we were in Colorado Matthew had never ridden down hills before and flipped off his bike. He learned real fast how to maneuver down hills and use his brakes effectively. Eric!! He decides to pretend that he is 14 again!!! While riding bikes in the Grand Tetons, he decides to do a wheelie, seeing that his children were impressed he decides to do another, followed by Ashley saying, "Dad, I would laugh so hard if you fell off!!". Those words had barely left her mouth and he decides to do a higher and faster wheelie, followed by a totally backwards flip off his bike. Needless to say, Matthew has recovered much more quickly from his fall then Eric has. Soreness follows a fall when you are in your forties.

Our biggest bump and bruise of all has been the cost of this trip. You can plan for a trip of this magnitude but you can never plan for all the hidden costs of a trip this big. If you all as our friends and family could help out in any way we would greatly appreciate it!!!!!!! So we can get home and get back to work to recover from this Schrockfam RV Road Trip Campaign Extravaganza. Thanks for following us!!!!
