For those of you wondering how our Project Minivan is going......
Well, we "officially" own a vehicle we haven't even paid for! My sister-in-law sent us the title and then later a form filled out by a sheriff verifying the VIN number and I was able to take it down to the County Clerk's yesterday and pay $400 for taxes and plates. So, the title of the 2002 Chrysler Town and Country minivan is in my name, even though I've never actually seen it and we haven't paid a dime for it!
April had some unexpected car repair bills so we were only able to save a couple of hundred toward PM, bringing our total up to around $1,000. However, with the extra paycheck we will get in May (since May has 5 Fridays and we get paid every Friday), my husband is optimistic that we will be able to about double that amount by the end of May. Yeah! Our economic stimulus tax is coming too this summer which will boost our total to about exactly what we need. Of course there will be insurance costs too and we'd like to pay my in-laws' gas to drive it out here, but if we sell one of our other vehicles, that will give us even more toward this project. God is so good and He gets ALL the credit for providing for this need of ours!
