We’ve been putting off looking for one for months because I didn’t really want to to deal. To be honest, a big part of me was sad to be trading in our Escape. It was the first new car Josh or I had ever had and the first thing we ever worked hard to pay off. I felt like such an adult when we paid off that car loan ourselves!
Everyone told me that when we got our mini van that I would LOVE it immediately. And I mean… it’s fine. I like it. I’m pretty sure when we have two more children to put in it then I will totally get why large families love them. Right now, getting a minivan is he coolest thing that our boys think they have ever experienced. They love that they have their own air conditioning vents and that the doors open and close with the push of a button. Our van came with built in sun shades which just delights my mommy heart so I don’t ever have to hear whining about ‘the sun is in my eyeesss’ anymore.
Regardless of my reservations, I’m absolutely pumped that this is the last big purchase we needed for the babies (the BIGGEST one) and that we can actually now drive home from the hospital together. It’s the little things right?
