Putting my law of attraction faith to test again! What I mean is that I am not scared to “put it out there” and let the universe take it’s course.
If you have been following my blog for long you will know that this has been a very long learning curve for me, and I still struggle with “letting go” and not stressing out and let faith and positive law rule my world. But I am getting better.
Here is the break down.We have needed a new car for a long time and we have been waiting for the “right” time or the time it makes the most sense. The funny thing is that over the past 3 years, there has never been a so called right time, so was starting to believe that there was never going to be…hello…negative nanny!
What I have learned in this process is that it makes the most sense, and is the right time, when you NEED it to be!
We have been saving since tax returns for a trip to Florida. We wanted to surprise our 6-year old with a trip to Disney World. Not an oh so comfortable trip in our tiny Mazda Protege.
I decided that it was time to quit fighting my husband about the timing and decided that we would spend our 7th anniversary car shopping. He is going to be getting a raise, but it is unknown when (long story) but we know it will be in the next handful of months.
I decided to go into it with the attitude, “if it’s meant to be, we will find a car and get a good deal.” See we filled bankruptcy back in 2008 so we are not the best credit risk for a few more years. However, I knew if it was meant to be, we would get the car.
So instead of running around scared and negative, I shopped around like we were going to get something sweet, that we could afford and that is what happened. It was a whirlwind and only took 3 days but we did walk out with a new Chrysler Town and Country Van. yes a van. I am now a soccer Mom. I would never have chosen a van but when you have 5 people that need to be driven around and a place for luggage then a van it shall be.
I grew up in Utah and have always made fun of Mormon Moms and their vans. I can do that, I was raised Mormon. But now I am that Mom…scary right?!
I do have to admit that it is nice to have. Tons of space and the kids can get in and out very easily and I can take my awesome black lab in the car too! That was the selling point for me…my dog!
So now we have not got our raise yet, but have confirmation of May or June. Our first payment is May 15…will we do it? Well if negative nanny comes back into my head then no it won’t happen. But if I continue my positive journey and know that it will get paid because it is the right time then it will. Hmmmm, I chose B! It is not like we went out and bout a sports car that is way out of our means.We bought something we needed to have and it WILL work out!
T-minus 23 days till the first payment is due! Keep you updated!

Congrats on le van! It's a nice one! I'm the same way - I wait for the 'right time' for everything and sometimes I make myself angry when it never seems to come. You reminded me to just 'let go'
It is hard to let go I know. Hardhabits die hard don't they!
I am glad you finally got to get yourself a vehicle that works for the family. Sometimes it's hard to push ahead when everything say otherwise.
I hope payments and hubs raise, sync right in time.
Aloha!
Thanks! Everything seems to be going good. First payment in 10 days!!!!
