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!

As time drew near for us to leave for Colorado we were waiting to see if the Lord would provide enough support for us to fly or to drive.

Days before we left we had just enough money to drive.

Excited to see what the Lord had planned we packed up and began our drive Thursday night. About half way through our trip to Colorado it we realized that our gas milage was not as good as we thought and the trip was going to be more expensive than we had the money for. So we prayed, trusted God and kept on going. Once in Colorado it got hot, and our airconditioning was not working. by afternoon we couldn't keep Neva cool enough and we needed to stop. By this time we were in Grand Junction Colorado. We stopped at the first hotel we saw and it ended up that it was going to cost us $150.00 to stay there for the night. We needed to stop, so we tried to figure out how we could work it into our budget.

Neva was lathargic and red faced when we got her out of the car. Once we got into our airconditioned room she came to life. It made me (Leslie) so happy to see her crawling around laughing and playing. We made the right decision.

So we went and got food, came back to our room and we were all in bed by 5pm and didn't get up till 8am the next morning!! So good!!

When we got up the next morning and began to pack we recieved a text that some friends of ours were going to support us for $250.00!! This would cover the room and we would later figure out that the extra amount was just enough to cover the extra cost of gas to get us all the way back to Sisters!!

Praise the Lord, he didn't give more or less than what we needed, he gave us just enough.

Thank you Lord.
