Day 2 - Family

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

These days are going to be interesting. There so long (about 13 hours) that so many emotions and so much happens. Mom called at about mile 40 and I was so tired so I was grateful to have someone to talk to. The first 80 felt like it was going by painfully slow. Robbie called about 5 miles away from where I got McDonald’s for lunch and restocked on bars. A few hours later, Caleb called again. Dad called I think at mile 120 or so and I was able to say hi to my two you best sisters as well. Mom called once more and then Luke called when I was about 5 miles away. So good talking to all these people. As I rolled into the place I call JT and was able to talk to a bunch of my cousins. Such a joy. Got ready for bed, wrote this, and hopefully getting rest for tomorrow. 

Pictures will hopefully be uploaded in just a few days. I love you all and miss you 🩷
