well, we were soooooo busy yesterday that i did not get a chance to post a blog, so i'm going to try to do that with today's blog.
yesterday morning we were still in tuscan, and we had called brian (jason's brother who used to live in tucson) and he wanted us to take a picture of his old house, so we did that first thing in the morning and then we picked ruthann up and went to the air museum. 
it was really cool and there were a lot of old planes to look at. after that we went out for lunch and then brought ruthann back to her aunt's house for the day. we then took off and went to phoenix to see my great aunt 
dottie and great uncle "deke". we visitied for a while and then went out for dinner... i told you all that i'm only here for the food (just kidding)... after that we went back to there house and had dessert and then left very late, well for a baby who needed bath and a bed. we drove around looking for a hotel and had the hardest time finding one, but then G od works all things out. we finally stopped at a hotel that did not have secured internet, so i took the computer out and got on hotwire.com and punched in the city and, if you don't know how hotwire works, you punch in a city and date and everything and they give you a price, you accept what you want and then they tell you where you are staying or if it's a flight, who you are flying with, etc. well, when we were checking around, even the best western was over $100.00 and everyone was already sold out. so, when i agreed at $59.00 for a room for the night, + taxes and hotwire fees, we ended up paying about $73.00 and it popped up our hotel name and information and it was a hilton. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!! this was such a blessing and it was by far the nicest/fanciest hotel we'd ever stayed in and other than not having a free continental breakfast, everything was great! we woke up this morning went swimming had fun and then we left. we did a little shopping today at ikea-just for you jos & ginger-that's their new favorite store. this was our first time there. then we took off on the highway again. we drove through the mountains in arizona. it was very pretty, but very long and not what we expected. we did have to avoid hitting an elk. it was in the mountains and jason was driving arounf the corner and it was in the middle of the road. this was the first time i had ever seen an elk in the wild. it was really neat! well after all of this... we've made it to holbrook, az for the evening, without our pillows (oops! we left them at the hilton, so they are mailing them to us. ) , but very ready to rest for the evening. hope all is well and i'll try to post tomorrow. we're not sure if we'll make it all the way home tomorrow, or if we'll stop somewhere for the evening... we'll see.
