We had planned to spend all of August and part of September up north in Michigan, Wisconsin etc but after we got a call from our neighbor and a friend, that we had some tree limbs and clean up was necessary after a big storm, we made the oh so sensible decision to go home instead. It was the right one. Poor Dale had his work cut out for him. Our place was a wreck!!! There was much to be done. Including weed eating the tall tall grass by the forest. He was careful to move our car to the road before he started weed eating. Oopsie. Extra AC anyone? Thank God for good insurance! The trampoline should be able to be salvaged as well. Woo hoo! One of the first thing Avery asks to do when we get to our Home Sweet Hub, is to BAKE. She set out with her buddy Pax, to make marbled cupcakes, so they could frost them. Her sweet Grandma, got her a new flower tip for her piping set. Sadly, our frosting was too runny for the new tips, but they still had a BALL frosting cupcakes anyhow. The Lord always has a plan, and this is why we commit our calendar to Him! He always works things out, so this unplanned trip home was about to get even sweeter....... For the past couple years, we have been keeping an eye on the RV market. We absolutely love to go look at RV's, and Dale studies floor plans and prices extensively. We love our beautiful coach, it has been such an amazing home to our family! I love all the storage and how light and cheerful it is! It tugs my heart to see her go, but, alas, we are ready to bid her adieu. We have been watching for a particular RV ever since we toured the factory two summers ago, and were BLOWN AWAY by their high end finishes, attention to detail and extra steps like R19 insulation, to keep things tight. It's called Entegra, and they are amazing..... We spent the summer popping in and out of RV dealerships checking them out, drooling and dreaming! ;) The day we got home, Dale found our "THE ONE" on a used RV website. It was a higher end, gently used, Entegra Anthem. A higher end model than we had been looking at, but the price was right! Oh BOY! Could this be it?! There was only one way to find out! We had to get to Amarillo to see it in person, but we had our work cut out for us. It takes about 4-6 hours to clean our apartment and get moved in, and that is not counting all the outside work Dale had to do. It was all hands on deck, and we cranked it out in 2 days, invited my mom to come hang out with the kids, and hit the road. A LONG boring (I am such a bad car traveler now) 6 hours later, we got to check out the coach of our dreams. We had been wishing we could get a Blue & Black Entergra with grey interior, but a lot of the RV's in our price point are beige, maroon and brown leather. (Not my favorite) When drove up, my heart was racing. When we stepped inside, the clouds parted and I heard the angels sing.....THIS WAS IT. The one we had been wanting, except a better model, and in our price point, and it only had 11,000 miles on it. It's interior, a beautiful grey and white! Pinch me, is this real!? YES it is, THANK YOU, JESUS! The seller had two other guys flying in to see it the next day and over the weekend, so we told him we would be in touch very soon. We are working on all the details now! :) That means we have a MOTORHOME FOR SALE!!!! Would you be so kind as to pass this on to someone in the market for a new coach? I would be so grateful! :) Here is the link: https://www.rvt.com/Holiday-Rambler-Imperial-42PBQ-2005-Hutchinson-KS-ID8332053-UX286701 This beautiful coach is a total head turner!

I'm so glad I found this post! I didn't 'get' why you were home, and certainly didn't know about all that storm damage. Oh that poor trampoline! And Dale! Your new RV will be even more amazing than your old...and that's really hard to imagine, but our great God sure does love you all and I am excited to see all HE has in store for your future. God bless you dear ones. XO
