oh yah minivan

I've always wanted a minivan.

Since preschool.

My mom said I told her when I grew up I wanted a van and two kids.

There ya have it!

Aaron and I have talked of owning a van - he always knew I wanted one after having Riley.

At one point, I think he was trying to persuade me into an SUV - but I wouldn't hear it.  ;)

Our conversations always ended with it being too expensive and "not now" my current car was fine.

And, it was.

For a couple of people.

For Riley and I, it was completely fine.  I was totally content with it.

With a second baby on the way - it must've got Aaron thinking more.

Yesterday he hit me fast with wanting to go look at a van, but that he didn't want me to get my hopes up - he was just going to look.

Sure enough (after leading me on that his hunt was a fail) he drove home last night in our new minivan!

He surely surprised me.

I'm SO happy to have a minivan!

I am definitely my parents' daughter.  Ha ha. 

I grew up in vans.  It's what I know.  To me, it's the perfect family vehicle.

Not everyone my age (or not) wants a minivan - but let me tell you...they are great.

AND, now when we have Emillie and Hannah over we won't have to drive two vehicles to get from point A to point B.  Ha!

Thank you, Aaron, for our awesome, radical, kick-butt, minivan!  Woot woot!  (And, it's more than just a grocery getter...)

Who knew that a minivan could and would be in our price range?!  Yay!

 

It's so stylin'....you know you want one.

For the record, Riley loves it too!


Oh, and about that "secret" I was going to tell you about...you'll have to wait a few weeks. I'm not ready to spill the beans to you yet - though, some of you already know.
