Pro-vision

So Jordan and I really wanted to drive down the Alcan.  I've only done it once and I was too young to remember.  So we wanted this adventure together!  We decided we didnt' want to keep either of our cars, especially because they aren't the most comfortable for long trips.  So we started our hunt for a new vehicle.  I decided I wanted a midsize SUV and after doing alot of research I decided on a Chevy Equinox.  We didn't want a brand new one or a loan so started looking around on craiglist.  it happened to us 3 times.  we'd like one call on it and they'd be sold, or we'd make plans to go look and they'd sell.  we started getting discouraged and annoyed.  God we felt like we are supposed to drive, why won't you give us the right car??

Then we finally were able to look at one.  One of my wants was to not have another black vehicle.  but this equinox ended up being black.  and i liked it!! but as we looked it over and took it for a ride we realized that it was as used as my car.  more miles then we wanted and the interior was pretty cheap.  it handled more like a van then an suv type.  so we decided no.  and i am so glad we had that opportunity.

we went home and studied up on vehicles again.  this time we decided on the chevy trailblazer.  as we started searching we got excited.  there were alot more out there.  then we found a 2002 trailblazer that had 58K miles on it!! can you believe it?  oh..and it's black.  go figure.  tinted windows, low miles, pristine condition. lovely.  so we call this lady - diane - and set up a time to see it.

when we looked at the equinox i felt this uneasy nervousness when we went to look at it.  but this time around i just felt excitement, like it was right.  and when she pulled into the parking lot i loved it!

as we talked with her, we came to find out, she is moving to colorado!! what a coincident.  then we find out, she's moving to longmont!!  Same city Jeremiah lives!!  God is so cool.

It's just crazy! this trailblazer is in such good shape.  Diane just loves it and babied it and has driven it 2000 miles over 2 years!  barely any since she drove it up the alcan in 07.  this is the car for us. we both felt it and jordan pipes up and says, "we'll take it!"

Diane was so surprised!! But she needed it for a few more days to finish her moving.  So we made plans to meet back up last night.  Ohh my excitement has been building all week!!!  I just know this is the car God has had for us and I'm so glad he kept removing those equinox's from our path.

It's just amazing how each step along this journey God's hand is so obvious!  Thanks God!!  We are so excited for this adventure in our life.
