Hooray!

Yesterday turned out to be a better day than expected. We've had our truck up for sale for a couple weeks and sold it yesterday for more than we thought we'd be able to get out of it! It had 188,500 miles on it and Ronnie's had it for 11 years! He's always owned a truck since he started driving, so he's sad to see it go, but it's just not family-friendly! We had just bought a car from a private owner about a week ago, but hadn't been able to drive it yet until we sold the truck so we wouldn't have insurance on 3 vehicles, so Ronnie is really excited to be able to start driving his new car. It's been a while since we've had a car, so it'll be nice to have another vehicle we can all fit in! Plus, we love it! So, the van will still be what I drive all the time and Ronnie will be driving the car to work everyday. He really wanted to get a four door truck, but it would've been more expensive than the car and the gas mileage is so high and with the way gas is right now, we decided against that. God has really blessed us to be able to purchase a car without having to make payments again. (Thanks to Unlce Sam!)

And to top the day off I had found some outdoor patio furniture on craigslist.com (if you've never heard of it, it's like e-bay, but you don't bid). You can look just in your area and see what people are selling. Anyway, I found abrand new wicker furniture set that someone was selling in our area and that had only sat in it twice! It's from Target and they needed it sold this weekend b/c they were moving. We went and looked at it and got it for half of what it's selling for in the store right now and it's brand new! WOW! I've been wanting some seating in our screened in porch since we moved here, but haven't been able to purchase anything, so Ronnie was kind enough to allow me to use a little of his truck money to get it!

So, I'm feel very fortunate and blessed right now. God proves to be faithful to us and takes cares of our needs and also at times blesses us with some of our wants.
