As some of our friends and family may know, we have been praying for a new vehicle for some time now. We have enjoyed our years with the our blue Dodge Caravan, but the time came that we didn’t know if she would be able to keep up with our traveling lifestyle.
This spring, God provided the opportunity to purchase a more reliable vehicle! After looking for the right combination of affordability and reliability, we found our ‘99 gold Saturn Station wagon! It is not an automatic…. so this Mrs. Jones has to learn how to drive manual! Look out world! I have only conquered one hill since- so needless to say, I am slow learning. It’s easy to say at the moment, but it is true that God is Jehovah Jireh: The Lord that Provides. After a good cleaning and the official Apple sticker in place on the back window we took her the ultimate test: The 2009 Jones Summer Road-Trip.
Over the span of a week and half, we stayed with family in Oklahoma, drove through Texas, NewMexico, ran out of gas in the desert of Arizona, spent precious time with friends in Southern California, and had the privilege of taking the wedding pictures for our friends (now) Hartzels! We are enjoying our time here in Livermore, California, before heading out to Winona Lake, Indiana to spend time with our friends and Church Family at Christ’s Covenant Church for the rest of our break. Please be in prayer for us, as we start the rest of our Road Trip on July 6th!

Yay Evie. You finally get to learn a stick. Although I still think it would have been easier to learn in Indiana. Not so many cars and hills to worry about. 🙂 See you guys when you get back.
