My title may sound horrible...Ok, it is horrible. Because today was disastrous in it own sense. But I can't just let the title of this journal entry be the only thing that defines today.
We had to stop in Billings, Montana because (sound the drum roll please....) we have to get a new transmission for the truck. Yep, we are stuck in Billings because we can go no further. David warned his boss (before we left) that he didn't feel his truck could take the load of this trailer but he was told to do so anyway. To make it worse, his boss doesn't think they should pay for all of the transmission cost. To say that David was ticked off is to put it mildly. But just like my husband always handles things, he handled it mildly on the surface. I'm so grateful for his lack of showing anger around us. That doesn't mean he won't fight for the company to pay for this. Thay absolutely should but until we figure this all out, here we are.
So we entertained the kids with a trampoline park. The indoor water park turned out to be closed and luckily all the boys love trampoline parks so it worked out nicely while David worked out the work credit card, getting a new work phone, and setting up a rental truck to haul us the rest of the way to Canada. Unfortunately, we have to leave our truck here while it gets fixed because it will take so long to order the transmission and install it. So it looks like David will have to make a trip back here later.
Hyrum asked me tonight what I thought tomorrow would be like. I told him we were bound for some good luck eventually. Why couldn't it be tomorrow? He agreed.
And why can't tomorrow bring a change that could change not our only our luck but our lives?
