We're A Family Now!

My wife and I trekked out into the abyss of Christmas shopping this weekend. We were trying to finish up the few people left on our list and my oldest son fell asleep. So, we got some Wendy's and ate lunch.

Then, we drove around so he would get to sleep for a while as we had more shopping to do. As we drove, we came to some car dealerships and we decided to just window shop.

Yeah, right!!!!

So we bought a van!!!! we had the salesman run some numbers and Casey said she heard God say it was alright to buy it and we did. They knocked off a couple thousand dollars and gave us a good deal.

We've been looking because my wife babysits a girl and we need the carseat space. We made the decision to go with a van and it hurt at first, but it feels good, now. There was a couple who were buying a SUV and they talked with us about buying a van. They said they haven't been able to make the jump to a van because it wasn't hip for them. We laughed because everything is about function for us right now.

We finally have our very own family truckster. "We're a family, now!!!", as Kelly said.
