So the lady at DMV says "Some people drink, some people eat, others get mad and then there are some that laugh". So Matthew laughs. This was said after we learned that somehow the car we bought in Washington with a clean title, was registered in Oregon as a reconstructed title... Um... How does that happen!!

Not much we could do before leaving for Colorado since we found this out the day before we were to leave! So we packed up and left.

On the way to Colorado the sun roof stopped working (bummer!), the drivers side rear door stopped opening from the inside (Leslie got stuck in the back), the passengers side rear window wouldn't roll down all the way... All cosmetic issues so they didn't bother us much. Well except the sun roof!

On the way home from Colorado. About an hour into our 21 hour drive we heard an aweful noise and the oil pressure gauge kept dropping!! NO GOOD!! So we stopped got some oil and dinner and gas and started texting people to pray for our car. Thank you for your prayers.

As we continued to drive we joked about how the last "long trip" we took our other car died and left us stranded and maybe we would find ourself in a similar situation this time. What did the lady at DMV say... We laughed. Here's to adventure!

Matthew figured out that the noise was our brakes and as we continued to drive it got a little better. Though the oil pressure gauge continued to have issues. We still don't know if it is the gauges problem or a problem with the engine itself.

As the noise from the breaks died down it was replaced with a new more disturbing noise. So we prayed, and prayed, and prayed... 21 miles later we are home!! Praise the Lord!!

Though we haven't taken the car in to figure out all that happened to it on our 3,000 mile journey, we made it home and for that we are thankful!
