| This looks like what was pulled out of our van! | 
AJ, 
 
So, do you know how lucky (blessed) you are?  Me too? 
(Background: Aj had taken the van up to Provo the weekend prior.  He brought back a van full of college kids.  They stopped out in Kanab and spent the night then went to Zion National Park before coming home Saturday afternoon 9/5/15. )

Yesterday
 morning the van started making a funny noise.  We had only driven to 
church (9/6/15) and back since you dropped it off.  Didn't go to gmas because 
they were out of town and stuff.  So 2 miles total.  
 
I got
 in the van at 6 a.m. headed over to Home Depot and it sounds like a 
lawn mower.  Strange.  Get out, look around.  Huh, can't figure out 
what's going on.  Go to Home Depot and back and decide I better park it 
until Dad can peek at it. 
 
So now 6 miles total. 
 
I want to go to the pool so I listen and can't hear anything and do a pool run with a van full of little girls (Katie, Holly, Morgan, Zie & Lauren Riley). 
 
Now, 9 miles total.  
 
Dad
 gets in the car and we head to Gmas and the sound starts up again 
really loud.  We go about 1 mile and then the noise stops and everything
 gets quiet.   The power steering goes out.  The a/c goes out.  It's 
kind of eerie.   
 
under 10 miles total.
 
So we were going to get oil at O'Reiley's cause that's what we thought -- it has an oil leak.  
 
We
 stopped at O'Reiley's and Tim Scott is there.  He comes out and pulls 
out our belt.  In shreds.  And sells us another one -- for $20.  Which 
Dallas installed with Dad last night in about 1/2 hour.  Thank you 
Dallas!!!! Thank you Dad!!!!
Holy Smokes that could have 
ended so much worse!!!!!!  In so many ways.  So say your thankful prayer
 that you were able to travel home safely and without incident.  And me 
too!!! (Cause at 6 a.m. nobody would have answered the phone to come 
find me out in the dark!!)
 
I'm feeling pretty blessed about now!!
