<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then spending a week in Ohio with his brother and sister-in-law.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We were gone an entire month,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
drove close to 4,000 miles pulling a trailer,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
visited 10 states,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and had the best time in the world!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We both agree that this was our best trip to date ...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First campground experience, just inside Kentucky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We turned around when we arrived, and David and Rachel were behind us!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They had seen us getting off the interstate near Nashville as they were getting on,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and turned around and followed us a mile or so to the campground!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So neat, the timing the Lord worked out!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Vic and Bev are such a neat Christian couple!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are so kind and hospitable; it was wonderful to fellowship with them.</div>

The following day we drove into Moline to visit the John Deere Museum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is a great museum, full of history of the Deere family</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and John Deere machinery through the years, with all kinds of<br />
equipment and simulators to explore and an awesome gift shop!</div>

I got to visit both Iowa and Wisconsin for the first time on this trip!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved the miles and miles of hilly corn fields, white farm houses,<br />
red barns and dairy cows ... just lovely!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The Mississippi River ... in Iowa!</div>

Another very special thing was getting to visit my dear friend,<br />
Mrs. White, and introduce her to Russell!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
It was wonderful, wonderful to see her again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(and Mr. White, for a few minutes!).</div>

Finally getting around to blogging about our summer trip! ❤</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We spent the first week in Tennessee,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
spending our first night ever in the trailer along the way!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Daisy went along to stay at my parents' while we traveled.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She absolutely loves the trailer!</div>

We had a wonderful time!<br />
<br />
Russell and I got to spend Thanksgiving week in Tennessee.<br />
We had a wonderful time ... in fact, things were so busy and fun<br />
that I forgot to snap a single picture! 😂<br />
<br />
Some of the highlights were:<br />
<br />
*Spending time with Mama Flo<br />
* Long walks/talks with Rebekah<br />
* Our traditional family Thanksgiving dishes!<br />
* Hearing Daddy and our young cousin play euphonium/ trombone duets<br />
* Being with family, particularly our nieces and nephew! ;)</div>

September found us looking quite diligently for a home and land ...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and we found it!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After searching for several months it was pretty exciting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to finally find a place and feel like, "This is IT!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are so thankful to the Lord for His provision!</div>

This summer Becky, Lydia, Anna and I decided to go in</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
together to do some Operation Christmas Child boxes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got some cute skirts and other items for less than $1/each,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the girls made some cute crocheted animals.</div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The highlight of June was Rebekah's visit and our trip to the Grand Canyon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since Rebekah did the (more difficult) <a href="http://11smiths.blogspot.com/2018/06/an-unforgettable-vacation.html">chronological post,</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I'll just share some of my favorite pictures and memories!<br />
<br />
The drive through the Texas Panhandle, New Mexico and Arizona<br />
was all-new for Rebekah and me, and greatly enjoyed by all three of us!<br />
<br />
Such diverse, unusual and beautiful scenery!<br />
Every few miles seemed to bring something entirely new into view.<br />

Palo Duro is the second largest canyon in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was lovely, but didn't quite compare to the Grand Canyon! </div>

We actually camped at the bottom on this canyon, and we were</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
visited by a thunder storm for several hours during the night! What Fun! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Then it was back to Amanda and Russell's place for a couple days, and then my vacation days ended... but the remarkable sights/times with family will be in my memory forever!<br />

A few months ago I thought it would be fun to get pictures of Caitlyn with the chicks. Daniel came out to help me with the pictures.</div>

Unfortunately we ended up with more bloopers than good pictures! But they were so funny I have to share them! Caitlyn was treating the chicks like they were kittens! Picking them up by the scruff of the neck!</div>

It's been awhile since I posted any pictures. Most days I'm too busy enjoying my sweet baby! :) But people have been asking for them, so I thought I'd post some of my favorite pictures from the past few months.</div>

Very proud of my man for finishing EMT school at the top of his class even though he was incredibly busy! Working full time managing things at the farm, taking care of the hatchery, running calls for the fire department, EMT school, and still finding time for his family. And he didn't go to EMT school to get a job, a raise, or anything like that. He did it so he could better help people as a first responder, volunteering for the fire department. That's Daniel. Always thinking of others! <3</div>

Easter Sunday was a busy day for our fire fighters. A med call, 2 wrecks, and a big fire to top it off. Everyone was tired and hungry, so we brought them some snacks on scene, then had pizza back at the station when the fire was out. It was nearly midnight by the time we headed home.</div>
