Ol Silver

Well last Monday night Justin did something he has sworn he would never do as long as I have known him...he bought me a minivan! I have always wanted a minivan because I think they are more practical than an SUV with children. Justin was hard to convince but before we even started trying to have a baby we made deal (that I never thought we would need). I told him I would drive an SUV if we had one child at a time but I wanted a van if by some chance we had twins. Well I am sure glad I made that deal because TWINS it is and therefore MINIVAN it is!!! I wanted a minivan because I absolutely loved the Honda Odyssey. We drove one a few years ago and liked it but since then they have changed the body style. So we went to drive a new one and it was not nearly as impressive as the last body style. There was very little leg room and it didn't drive as smoothe as the other one did. I still wanted it though because I wasn't fond of any others. One night Justin and I were out to dinner and he asked me to look at the Nissan Quest and I did just to make him happy because he looked at the Honda for me. Well we got there and looked it and we both fell in love with it. We looked at the Honda and the Toyota Sienna and the Quest another day all in one afternoon so that we could compare. We decided the Quest was the best bet for what we wanted. It was the most comfortable and had the most options for the best price. So last Monday we went and bought one. It is silver and we absolutely love it. I got in and Justin told me we could have it and it made me so happy that I cried. The poor saleman kept asking if I was alright. I said, "Have you ever seen anyone cry over getting a minivan because they were so happy?" It was funny but I was just so overwhelmed with happiness and gratefulness that God has allowed us so many blessings. It is so funny to me that Justin really loves it as well and that also makes me so happy. Aunt Beth has named our van "Ol Silver" and it has stuck. :) We are so happy to have a vehicle with lots of space for Jackson and Jacob to enjoy on the road. How exciting that we are another step closer to welcoming these boys home!
