Trip back to PA update

When last I blogged, AAA came to jump start the van and mom, dad, Karen and the kids were heading to exit 160 to get a new battery at Sears. They had the exit in view when the van died again. Another call to AAA and they were picked up and towed to Sears, where they got a new battery, had the car looked over and they were on their way. Then they arrived in Lumberton, NC where, little did they know, but they were about to spend the night and several long hours the next morning there. They got a good deal on the hotel but ended up renting a Uhaul to tow the van back to PA. But since 5 people can't fit in a Uhaul my sister, mom and niece had to take a taxi to Fayettville, NC to rent a car to drive home. When I talked to them around 5 pm tonight, they were just south of Richmond, VA. They should be home in Bloomsburg around 10 or 11 pm. So if you are reading this, please pray for safe travels and pray that some how the cost of the repair will be minimal.
I have been stressed over their journey home and I wasn't even with them, can't imagine how they felt.
Much Love to All
Scott

Thanks to everyone for the prayers!! We arrived in Bloomsburg at 2:45 am Wednesday. What an expensive trip to my brothers and the longest one we ever had! We encountered many obstacles, bad thunderstorms and challenges getting to Fayetteville to the air port to rent a car and one HUGE expense!! We did get lucky to have some nice people help us along the way. Needless to say the stress level was very high. My son Brandon who is only 12 did enough stressing for all of us. It is really great to be home. We were glad to be able to visit with Scott and Meghan and the boys and to help out with Coleman. We are also glad Mom was able to go down and help while Coleman had her surgery. Thanks again for all the prayers. Love to Scott, Meghan, Tradd, Cooper and Coleman. Love you guys Lots!!!! Nana, Poppy, Aunt Karen, Brandon and Nicole

It's Thursday .....welcome home to Scott and Meghan Kinney's family from Pa..
The first thing to enter my mind upon reading the blogs "Why? They didn't need that yet!
Whoever penned "It never rains unless it pours" was right again.
It's just great that someone else writes "There are better days ahead." I hope you can all rest up,recoup and relax for many days to come. Heaven knows you need and deserve it.
Peace and love to Nana, Pop and all the Kinney Kids.
Sincerely, Kathy
