Our New Addition.....

No, not THAT kind of addition. We actually just bought a car!!!! It was a long process that paid off. I have been searching online at dealerships for the last month trying to find a car that would fit more than 1 child and have more space if we decide to travel. I finally found two cars, a Hyundai Elantra and a Saturn Vue. I really wanted the SUV, but decided that it would cost too much. Then one day I was looking at the Saturn again and the dealership had just lowered the price by $1000. I immediately called Jesse and we called the dealership to arrange a test drive. I was so excited!!! When we got to the dealership though, they told us that they had just sold the Saturn. BUMMER!!!! We then decided to go look at the Elantra at the other dealership. When we pulled in, I saw this cute red crossover/wagon and was drawn to it. We looked at the Elantra first, but I REALLY had my eyes on the red one. The red car was listed for $12,450, so I thought it must've had several thousands of miles on it. To my surprise, it ONLY had 16,000 miles on it AND it looked brand new on the inside. The car dealer came out and told us that an older couple had bought this car brand new from them, but two days before came in to trade it in for a newer model. SCORE!!!! We took it for a spin and immediately fell in love with it. As we were talking with the dealer, getting the financing paperwork done, he asked us which car we were leaning more towards getting, Lilly answered "I like it. I really, really, really like the red one". So guess which one we ended up getting?

2006 PONTIAC VIBE

So far I love driving it. And to add to the sweet deal, it is GM Certified and it still has its manufacture warranty on it. Plus it gets better gas mileage than the Focus.

Speaking of cars though, every time I see this on the road.....

"Did I do thaaaaayyyytttt?" ALWAYS pops into my head.
