We traded in Jess’ Buick for this beauty today after a couple of weeks of searching for “the one”! We really feel like God put this van in our path.

I had vowed early in our car-hunting experience that we weren’t yet at the minivan-buying point in our lives and look what happened – we own a minivan. I’ll learn to keep my mouth shut.

The van is incredible. Seating for 7 with enough storage room to make us extremely happy! This new-to-us vehicle will aid us as a ministry tool for sure! Thank you to those who helped us along the way by praying about our situation!

Tonight we enjoyed going with Pastor J, Miss Janet, and Tiffany up to Al & Millie Miller’s home for dinner! What a great time.

Al showed Pastor J and I how to play a little “nine ball” down in the basement on his new billiard table and of course we all ate a bit too much. I even had a piece of peach AND apple pies! Unbelievably good.

Before we headed to their home I also stopped by the Nissan dealership and picked up a 2005 Chrysler Sebring. It’s black, has only 30,000 miles on it and they’re willing to give us a great deal. We’re going to go for a ride tomorrow morning to return it to the dealership, but already I’m thinking it’s too small for what we’re needing to upgrade to.

By the way, the Neon “died” on Wednesday on my way home from work. It’s “in the shop” and should be done sometime next week.

Pray for us as we attempt to be grown-ups and figure out this whole vehicle situation we’re in!
