Finally...Four Doors!

As some of you know...I have been aching for a vehicle with four doors!! I have had my two-door Toyota Solara since high school graduation, which has been great and even manageable with one child! Now that I have a HUGE belly, it's been getting harder and harder just to go anywhere; and it will be that much more difficult with two kids! For good and bad reasons, Eli's car finally bit the dust...the engine ceased and it is DONE! With me being in my third trimester now, it's just too scary to have one car that Eli takes to work and leaving Indi and I with no transportation.
So we knew we had to get something used, which I don't mind! We knew we had to go with the best deal we could find, which I don't mind! So we found a 2003 Mazda Tribute with decent mileage...our first SUV!!!....This is the first car we have purchased our married life....the first car I have ever purchased in my life! We were teetering back and forth at the dealers' about whether or not to buy it...but the dealer came down to our price and we took it! I don't know if it's because this is my first car that I've bought or the fact that this is a very large purchase for us or what, but I was sooooo stressed...I didn't sleep at all last night and the stress has really taken a toll on me! I just hope we did the right thing! I have been really happy with it so far and I'm sure it will all be worth it!

Indi and I went for a ride today and I didn't even have to bend down to put her in her car seat.....heaven!:)

that's so exciting about the new car. I love my SUV. We are probably not going to blanding for easter because Brittany and Laura will be here and also Dad & Sunny are coming this weekend when Paris and Todd bless their baby. I'll send you the easter picture of Jett & Tenli

Yea for new cars!!! That's awesome!! I really like it! It looks really nice! That is a big purchase and I don't blame you for being stressed about it. Bryce and I will have to make that big purchase probably within the next year.:( Don't you just love new cars though?

Oh how fun!! I really like it. It looks way nice! Yeah that will be a lot better for you and your growing family! I think it is stressful buying anything major, so I dont blame you for being stressed! Have fun with your new car! Wahoo!

Congrats on the new car! It looks like a great purchase. I can't imagine having two car seats in a two door! I'm sure you won't regret it.
