We've come to our last 2 weekends here in South Carolina! We're currently a happily homeless & car-less family of six!
Last week we listed Dale's Lexus on Vehix and Autotrader (websites to sell your pre-owned car). . . it took almost 2 hours to get the website up and running - not sure why... but it required a lot of patience on our part. Wouldn't you know - just after listing the car... and sending out a mass e'mail to all the people we knew in the area it was less than 20 hours later we had 3 offers on the car and decided to sell it to my friend - Arloa. We were both Mary Kay Directors and worked & traveled together. She bought it sight unseen. The transaction was so smooth and seemless and just felt like it was meant to be! She saw the car for the FIRST time when we transferred the title at the bank. I looked at her and said, "Arloa, you're so crazy, you never even looked at the car to make sure you were getting your money's worth"... and she said to me, "Dot, I've been to your house and I know you... and there are just some people that you meet with good integrity that you already know you're getting a "good thing"". WOW! What a compliment that was! She loves "Lexi" (which was the Lexus nickname to us)... she calls it her "sanctuary!" The funny thing about selling the car to a friend - around 9:30 last night we got a call from Arloa asking me, "How do I close this sun roof?" I just laughed and handed the phone over to Dale!
So we've come to the end of our tour here and we've had to resort to renting an apartment and renting a car just to get by until we get to GUAM and figure out life over there! It's been a GREAT problem to have! God continues to bless us and we know that every situation, every person we meet and every decision made - there is a REASON FOR EVERYTHING! I can't wait to see the plans HE already has in store for us! (Jer. 29:11)
The EVERY DAY moments that sometimes don't seem like a big deal - these are the little things in life that sometimes create those lasting moments in time!!! I'm blessed to be a mommy of 4 amazing kids. To share my life with an amazing man. To travel the world, making new friends wherever we go... yet keeping those life-long friends close to my heart! My family continues to amaze me with such an amazing, everlasting love! I am living such a blessed life!!!

Hi Dorothy! I'll be thinking about you and your family as you make your move. It's apparent from your stories and even this particular entry that you and your family have touched many people during your journey so far. I look forward to hearing all about Guam and your new home!
