We are the 'Proud' Owners of a...

Minivan!!!

Yep, something that I never thought I would ever own. But when it comes down to it, I'm all about 'what will make my life a little easier' these days. Just last weekend Aunt Kari came out for a visit, so when we all went out to eat, Craig was stuffed in the trunk of the Jeep (brought back memories of when I was stuffed in Kelly's trunk before she bought hers). Anyways, we are very happy with our purchase, and feel that we got a good deal, which to us is very important. Apparently the best and most competitive way to purchase a new vehicle these days is by getting price quotes via Internet. I did have to go to several dealerships, however, to get our Jeep's trade-in value, which greatly varied by dealership.
The boys did make one 'trade-in' run with me. Liam doesn't look to be too impressed with the whole car buying experience. Bye Bye Ron! We loved you!!! And this is Abby... I finally got my girl!

*** Yes we name our cars. I think Craig initially found it strange, but that is how we refer to all of our cars... Ron: Jeep Grand Cherokee, Earnie: GMC Envoy, Ben: Nissan Xterra, Jake: Jeep Wrangler, Rover: Geo Storm. I know, strange, but that's us!

LOL!! Why did you name the Jeep after Craig's dad? Tooo funny. I can't believe that you still do that!
