Here it is folks!! We have officially become motor home owners! Praise the Lord! He has answered our prayers and blessed us with this beautiful beast!For those of you wanting to know details it is a 1993 Holiday Rambler Imperial. Priced at a whopping $23,000! Diesel pusher. Ninety-some thousand miles on it with a Cummins engine (I guess this is the best kind). And it purrs like a kitten. :) Thank you Kent! (He was the previous owner.) By the way, this is not the one we were looking at in Denver- that one turned out to be a lemon, needed new transmission and new engine basically. Thank you Lord for protecting us!
Other than that I don't really know much about it- you can ask the Andy-man about it. All I know is that it is bigger than the last one we were looking at, it has nice front seats that are comfy and squishy, and it's very clean! There some things we will need to change around to make it livable for a family of 5 but for the most part it is ready to go. The only thing that needs to happen is to convert it to vegetable oil. The prices on fuel these days could be quite a blow at almost $175 per fill up. Free sounds much nicer. We are looking into a couple places here in Oregon that convert- looks like it could be anywhere from 3-5000 big ones. In the end, we will be saving money and also doing our part for God's creation.
Hmm...I'm not used to doing very informative blog entries, but this one is turning out to be. Just thought all of you out there would want to know some of the details going into this big rig.
Honestly, its a little weird now that things are really rolling. I sat down in the "living room" and thought, 'This is going to be our home. Wow.'
It looks like we have a pretty good lead on a family coming out to meet our dog to potentially adopt him. We're meeting them tomorrow evening!
And we're waiting to hear from the guy who has been going back and forth with us on leasing-to-own our home.
God's timing. Still singing the snail song.
God, you are so good to give us everything that we need and even more!

praising God for this. I'm so excited for you guys. Yah, it's gonna get hectic a lot, but I pray there will be a point when you can just stop and laugh at the things that bog you down (if you aren't there already). Praying for peace, patience, JOY, love, grace....
love you!
