New Ride

 I have lost some "swagger" points but feel like I have gained a couple "man" points this past week.  We are no longer owners of 2 minivans.  We now own a minivan and a 2005 Ford Escape (80,000 miles)!  And I couldn't be more excited!


I have been waiting to share this news until I was able to visit the DMV and officially switch the plates and register for the title...which happened today. 

So here is the story.  My in-laws purchased a minivan from Amber's grandpa and were going to then give their minivan to my sister-in-law(s-i-l).  Then my s-i-l was going to give grandpa their Ford Escape for him to trade in or do whatever he wanted to with it.  

Hearing this news, I kind of jokingly said "would grandpa want to trade in a Kia minivan?"  So they asked him and he agreed!  

I was really excited to unload the Kia because it started nickel & dime-ing us (who am I kidding, that thing was really costing us some money).  

So today I went and did all the "Illinois paperwork" and had a new stereo installed so I could use my iphone in it.  Then I did a little shopping for some "Bears accessories." (what is not pictured are Bears front seat covers).




I know that objects are not a source of joy, but man am I HAPPY about this vehicle.  

So even though he won't read this, Thank you Grandpa Jack for your willingness to take our minivan and allow me to have this one!
