New Wheels!

There is a certain excitement which accompanies the purchase of a new car. Maybe it's the anticipation of years of monthly payments (obviously not :) or the thought of all the travel possibilities? I can't quite put my finger on why I'm feeling so happy about having a new minivan in my driveway.

Between my husband and I, we would love to have purchased something a little more sporty. However, those are pipe dreams when you have kids in the house.  Parents of ever growing social tweens and teens need plenty of seats to move groups of children from point A to B. 

So for the next few years, we will be driving a mini van and a Prius. Practical cars to a T! My poor Marine will have to endure the endless harassment from his co-workers about our choice of cars. After we do our time, you better believe there will be a convertible in the line up. Until then....we got a new car!!!
