Living simply while loving the journey

Living a simple life while trying to thrive in everything we do. If we don't do what we love, it isn't worth doing!

Serendipity and a new truck!

We have finally had things really fall into place. We had a yard sale last weekend and made $1650.  Then with selling the truck for another $800, we were more than half way to being able to get the Ford F250 diesel that was waiting for us in Bakersfield. They were asking $3650 for the truck. It had been really well taken care of by a friend of Mike and Cheryl, again they helped us out so much! Travis got a couple jobs last week to get the rest of the funds together, and we were able to head up there yesterday and pick up the truck. Lauren, the guy we bought the truck from, paid for the registration, filled up a gas tank and took of $50 because it was in need of a oil change. More than gracious!!!

The past two weeks we have had the time to digest, why did the truck break down? Why did we have such unfortunate events, one upon another on our first vacation in the trailer?  Now, we realize that we had to give up our plans. We had to realize that sometimes God has much better things in store for us, and will make it happen rapidly when we completely listen to our intuition and are guided by dreams, not our egos!

Travis has jobs lined up through the end of September, and then we have a house sitting job in October. So far everything is completely falling into place. We are happier then ever that we are able to live the dream!!!
