Thats right we have made it home after 8 weeks of tour and yes we are all still alive and sane. I think I had left off in Ohio were we had just left impact, I did have some wireless along the way but we were driving so long each day I didn't really have it in me to blog, so I'll just fill in now. First the amazing thing about Ohio is that in the two weeks we were with Impact we saw about 4000 people give their lives to Jesus, they had already been going a week and a half when we got there so the running total when we left was up to 7,ooo or so and I just checked yesterday they were at 10,000. They are such an awesome group and we were really blessed by what God did in us personally in just the short time we were with them. On to Illinois, Luke had a show in O'Fallon Illinois doing worship at a church, unfortunately Luke lost his voice on the way to the show and so I sang and Luke backed me up...an interesting night to say the least. We then moved toward Fargo North Dakota where Luke had a show and I would have to say this day was the most beautiful scenery wise for me. We drove through the state of Iowa and it was amazing I have never seen grass in so many different colors it was like watching a sunset on the ground for 6 hours. Unfortunately two of Luke's North Dakota shows were a bust and didn't work out for different reasons but we made it to Ambrose where my parents have their farm and got to do a little bird hunting, a little guitar picking with some good ole boys in the town bar, and some relaxing before our trip to Canada. And then there was Canada. When we left Illinois we had been in 85 degree weather, nice....when we headed north it got colder, and colder, and colder. Not only that but there is always that last week of tour when you know its the last so you just can't hold everything together anymore. What I'm getting at is I was cold, tired, and pretty cranky, okay very cranky, not to mention we drove 8 hours in a car almost 4 of the six days we were in Canada. Actually I'm making it sound way worse then it really was, I honestly couldn't believe I had made it to this point without completely losing it, and while yes I was a bit more irritable I think all and I did quite well, Luke's shows all went great up there and we were blessed with some new friends and some future shows for Luke. Of Course now that we are home the boys are really driving me crazy. I think because we were always out or at other peoples houses they actually toned down their craziness a bit but now that we are home they are back to normal. I' ll post a few pics from a couple of the days to finish up this part of the family tour blog. Overall it was a wonderful experience I couldn't have asked or prayed that it would have been any better, in fact I loved it and wished we could go along with Luke a lot more now that I know how good the boys can do. Luke will leave on Tuesday for a short week long tour be back a few days and then head into Canada for another short one right before Thanksgiving. Really I don't know what else to say, thank you everyone who supported us in going on this, those of you who helped us on the road and let us stay at your houses, and all of you who prayed I know thats why it went so good. Love you all and see you in the next post, whenever it may be.
