We had been planning on going to Michigan to visit my family for quite some time now. The plan was to have a birthday party for Sophie in Michigan so we could celebrate with all of my family. As a major bonus, it turned out that my 3 best college friends/roommates were also going to be in Michigan that weekend and were all going to come to the party as well! This was extra special because we do not get to see each other often as they are all amazing girls, living in big cities, studying in Europe, or saving the world somewhere in central America -- they're on the go.
I was really excited for this weekend already and to top it off, we also sold our car....in Michigan. Thursday night before we left for Michigan Bill told me about a fleet sale at work (these are cars that managers at toyota drive for a while and then the employees get a chance to buy them for a discounted rate). There was a Rav4 for sale, and I really like them so I got excited and asked Bill if we could buy it, and he told me (after kind of laughing at me) that if my car sold by Tuesday we could try to get it. Well, we put the car on Craig's list friday night, and decided to post it in the metro Detroit area, and by Saturday evening we had a buyer. Crazy! The craziest part was that the title was in Kentucky, so Sunday morning we had to drive to Kentucky (5 hours), and then I turned around and drove back to Michigan (5 hours) all on Sunday so we could seal the deal on Monday. Thankfully my family watched Sophie on Sunday in Michigan so we didn't have to take her with us for the ridiculous amount of travel. Everything went smoothly and Sophie and I made it back to Kentucky last night.
Here's the best part of all of this: we are not even gauaranteed the Rav4!! Ha...we have to bid for it along with other interested buyers! We were also able to bid on another car too so hopefully something will work out. We should find out more info tomorrow. Even though this seems crazy, we did pray about it when we put the car up for sale, have continued to pray, and trust that everything is in God's control!
Now for some weekend highlights:

Sounds like a great and wild weekend. I'm anxious to hear how the car story ends!
