My Early Birthday Present

I bet you're bursting with excitement to see my new set of wheels!  Well, here she is:

After almost 7 years of marriage, we're FiNaLLy  a two vehicle family!  I can't thank Sam enough!  I love my new ride!  Doesn't it just scream FREEDOM?!  Well it does to me.   

I finally graduated from this being my only source of transportation: 

OH and just kidding on that rusty clunker of a van being my new ride! There's no way Sam would buy that clunker for me.  Here's MY ACTUAL EARLY BiRTHDAY PRESENT:
We picked this beauty up last Wednesday night.  It's a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country.  I found this van online early Wednesday evening.  It was the best deal we could find in our price range.  When I called for more info, they told me that the van was in top notch condition, had just under 32,000 miles on it, and that brand new tires put on just days before.  And here's my favorite feature: 

The built in carseats are so nice.  I can just fold them up into the seat if I they aren't needed.  Anyway, after hearing about all the van's perks, we had to go check it out.  So, we packed up the boys in the car, drove down to Layton, test drove it, and about 20 minutes later decided to buy it!  I'm not use to making big decisions so quickly.  Now, if I could only learn how to park this thing!

Love it!

Though I am laughing at the clunker picture, you should have kept that going, too funny.

So happy you are now a two car family, I don't know how you did it all these years, enjoy your new freedom!

That's awesome! I can't believe you lasted this long with just one car. Your new van looks great! We had one growing up with the built-in carseats and my mom LOVED it!
