New Car!

We've been discussing our needs for a larger car. We had the Venza for a year for free, but that went back to Toyota at the beginning of March. With all of our family out of town, it makes it tough to travel without an SUV or something big to carry all our stuff - especially at Christmas time. We would end up getting our all of our gifts when one of our parents could bring them to us - usually in the spring...Merry Christmas! We also never have any way to get big items to our house.

So yesterday we drove to Cincinnati, dropped Anna off at my Mom's, then went to Kings Toyota. It's an awesome place to look for a car because it's all INSIDE! The cars are all unlocked, they have a huge selection, and you can get in and out of the cars and check things out as much as you want without feeling annoying to the sales people.

We finally decided on the new 4 Runner! We didn't have to negotiate price since we get B's Toyota discount plan, which is really nice, but it took awhile to get different prices with different $ down. We traded in the Lexus, so I went from fast and little to big and tough.
I'm happy with the new car, and I am determined to keep this one for at least 10 years.

I am thankful for:

• a lower car and insurance payment
• birds chirping in the morning
• Monday is over - for this week
