CHASING A DREAM

Once I decide to do something, I'm gung-ho to get it done.

I don't like spinning my wheels.

I'm not good at waiting.

I like to have my bases lined up for that home run hit ;-)

Holland is more low-key; but he is now on board to get things lined up and ready to 'GO'.

The house inspection is scheduled for Tuesday morning - after that the process will speed up, so we went Coach hunting this morning :-)

I was up and out of bed by 8 A.M. … and out of the house by 9 A.M. Holland was amazed I could move that fast. LOL

'Gentle' for browline; 'Urban Jungle Golds' for eyelid color; 'Auburn' Brow Gel; 'Neutral Enflamme' Cream Blush & 'Glam Black' Mascara; & 'Pink Quartz' Lipgloss.

It ALL came together in under an hour; ready to hit the road.

We planned on scoping out two Coaches that have snagged our attention for the past two weeks: we drove to Woodburn, Oregon first. It was raining heavily and Portland traffic was hellish (the only thing that could have lured me through Portland was the Coach); when we got to Woodburn, we could not find the sales lot. It wasn't visible. GPS wouldn't allow the full address. We couldn't find the directions on Google Maps. Holland finally called the Craig's List listed contact number, and by sheer luck we finally found the lot - it was a shared lot, that's why nothing was coming up on GPS or Google maps.

And the Coach we had been interested in, was nothing but a sales lure to get people pulled in to the lot. We had been on the road for 2 hours one way; we were understandably peeved.

We shut the salesman down when he tried to direct us to other coaches (and even started a spiel about a Colorado truck!), and got back into the Highlander.

A 2-hr. drive netted us nothing. But we did enjoy the time spent together. Woodburn-OR

We had decided before leaving home that we were not going to get frustrated or snappy with anyone (including ourselves or each other): so, we didn't. We just backtracked to Washington, and headed over to a sales lot there to scope out another Coach.

The sales lot was not open for business, but we were able to walk around the coach checking it out and gathering what limited info about it we could:

This is a nice Coach - but the sales lot was closed. Hazel Dell, Vancouver-WA

If this is still available next week, we'll get it.

We got some of the information we were looking for …

Holland is calling the sales lot tomorrow - and I am placing a fleece on it (as Gideon did when he petitioned Elohim).

If this coach fits Elohim's Plan for our lives, it will still be available when the $$$$ becomes available to us ;-)

We are chasing down a dream; but as always, in all things, we depend on Elohim's lead.
