And they are off...

Today the family left early this morning for Oklahoma.  They are driving to Tupelo, MS today and should arrive sometime around 6pm depending on stops and stuff through the day.  Yesterday was a stressful day getting them ready to leave.  Actually it was the car that I had to get ready.  As you may know, we bought a new car this year.  We went from a Chevy Trailblazer to a Mazda 5.  I love the thing, it is a neat car and does really good, but this is the first trip it has been on.  Of course coming from a Trailblazer where we had tons of room for luggage to a Mazda 5 with no room at all.  That wasn't a problem too much cause we already had a car top carrier.  All we had to do was purchase a luggage rack. Well, the car top carrier didn't fit and so at last minute I had to do my own modifications to it and so I pray it holds up well.  It should.  But everything is going well so far, i just heard from them and they are almost out of GA so they are making decent time.  Kids are doing fine and the car seems to handle pretty good.  Please pray for my family as they are on the road today and tomorrow.
