Another Step Closer

Yes, you heard correctly! We are now one step closer to leaving! Yesterday we traded in our Durango for a much lighter vehicle! But that is a very interesting story. Little did we know when we bought the Durango a little more than 7 months ago that the value of our new purchase would drop $3,000.00! You heard me right! Now pick your chin from off the floor so you can pay attention. Needless to say when we took the Durango to the dealer to do an even trade for a Wrangler, we were a little surprised to find out that our vehicle wouldn't even get us a KIA!!! Just joking, we may have gotten a KIA, but not much more. So we were a little disappointed when the absolute best the guy could do was give us a $1000.00 difference, and that was being very, very generous. So...we went home and prayed for God's guidance and assistance and decided that we would have to find a little hatchback or some other little car. Yesterday, Stretch called the dealer back and told him that we weren't going to be able to come up with the difference. God must have been working on the dealer's heart because he asked what we were planning and why we were wanting a Wrangler. So, Stretch told him of our plans and how we were going to be starting in Alaska and then going where God took us. The dealer then told Stretch that if we could come up with $500.00, he would trade us for the Durango, even though that puts the dealership at a huge disadvantage. Through God's blessing we were able to get the vehicle that works best for our trip and lifestyle and came out better than we could've anywhere else! God is truly awesome, and I can't wait to see what else He has planned for us! Now, all I have to do is get used to driving such a little vehicle...though parallel parking is now a possibility!!!
