I'm Officially a Soccer Mom

Keith and I tried to fight it. We explored all our options. We tried to find a fun SUV that would work...but we are now the new owners of a minivan--and we LOVE it!

Keith surprised me with it the night before we left on our weekend trip (more on that in the next post). No, he did not buy a car without my input, we picked it out together but he surprised me with it a month earlier than expected. I just have to say...I have no idea how we ever traveled without a minivan, especially this minivan!! It was beautiful when each of the boys wanted to watch something different and Keith reminded me that it was okay...Ty could watch the Disney channel (yep, satelite tv is awesome!) on one screen, Carter could watch his movie on another screen, and Keith and I could still listen to what we wanted to up front! Awesome! Stow N' Go, awesome! Power doors, awesome. Having a third row seat that three can fit comfortable and still have room for luggage behind it, awesome!

So, am I thrilled about rolling around town in a minivan? Do I feel cool in a minivan? Maybe not, but I'm so excited to have it! Thanks Keith.

Oh I'm right behind you on this one. Our next car purchase is going to be one of these bad boys. I've already told everyone not to make fun of me when I'm driving it. It looks amazing though. You've got me excited to get one!
