Just Kidding!

Haha, well after two fun-filled days with our new minivan, she was called home...to the dealership. Apparently they offered us financing that didn't exist! They were willing to make a new deal in which we would come out ahead by a few dollars, but after reviewing our the first transaction and the new options that this presented, we decided to return the vehicle and start again.

I was so glad to be finished with all the researching and the classified/internet searching--only to start up right back where we left off. Bummer!!!

Oh well, we had done all that we could, and had asked for God's blessing in the matter--so although we're a bit frustrated and disappointed, we're confident some other opportunity will present itself.

We'll keep you up to speed on the situation :) Until then, we're snug as bugs in our Texas Ranger, hee hee hee...

New Member of the Family

Before we can welcome our Baby Girl, we must have a way to get her home from the hospital! Our trusty Ford Ranger has been good to us, but has seen better days and could no longer accommodate our growing family--it was time for a new vehicle.



We'd been doing our homework: edmunds.com, cars.com, kbb.come etc. No manufacturer was off limits provided they were offering 0% financing!

Armed with a folder full of figures, quotes, specs, and all the information compiled during the homework sessions, we ventured out to a local dealer in search of a minivan.



Three hours, 2 slices of cold pizza, a gazillion green grapes, applesauce, and "The Incredibles" later (we came prepared to keep Henry occupied) we were the proud new owners of a 2007 Chrysler Town & Country.



Goodbye to our dear friend, the Texas Ranger. Hello Midnight Meanderer.
