The Van

Our last car was a little two door. I hated getting the kids in and out of it and it wasn't physically possible to fit two toddler car seats and one infant seat in. So...tax return time came around and we were able to get a mini-van. When our red car got totaled we test drove a couple of mini-vans, but I couldn't stand the idea of driving one. I was 23 and only had one kids and I felt way too young to drive a van. Now a short year and a half later, I'm 25, have almost 3 kids and I have no delusions about being young anymore.

I love it so much. It has power windows, doors, air conditioning and cruise control. The Hyundai has none of those things. And I can push a button and the sliding doors open automatically. I feel so fancy. I actually leave the house now because I can fit Hannah, Ben and Rebecca in so easily. I still can't wrap my mind around the idea that I can go wherever I want even if Devan is at work or school. I feel a little spoiled that we have two cars, but I'm so grateful that it worked out that we were able to buy it at this point in our life.
