Soccer Mom

This past weekend our family made a change...

About a two weeks ago the car that Todd drove decided it was done after it had carried people around for 203,000 miles (over 125,000 of those were between Todd and myself over the past six years). So this means we were in search of a new vehicle. We knew this day was coming soon so we had been searching and looking, along with saving up money for our new purchase. We were able to find a new vehicle (or at least new to us) that fit into what we had saved up - going back into debt was not an option since we got debt free recently and refuse to ever go back. Thanks to God that we were able to meet this need that our family had - being at home without a car for a week and a half was a little rough on me.

So in the end I have officially became the soccer mom sooner than I thought that I would. We purchased a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country...yes that's right a minivan for this mom of one.

Andrew absolutely loved it - I see sitting at games in my future 



It will be a big adjustment for me but a good one as traveling to visit our parents will no long be a puzzle in the packing department and we won't need to continually borrow larger vehicles to transport various things as we have needed to in the past. The other adjustment will be finding the van in parking lots...just last night I ran to the store and found myself looking for my car in the parking lot, not the van. This could make for some comical times ahead.
