We Were Thinking of Buying a Van . . .

 

I know it just looks like Tina and Ted are visiting, but actually . . . we bought a minivan of our own this morning.

This is how it happened:

1. I was worried about how we would fit three car seats across the back of my Camry, especially with kindergarten, getting the kids in and out at least twice a day, etc.

2. A resident at a complex where Jason does landscaping told Jason he was sad about having to sell his van because he was getting too old to drive.

3. Jason wanted to comfort the man, and did so by telling him he knew of a nice family who needed a van.

4. Jason convinced me to part with our life's savings, as well as the first car I ever owned (which we're now planning to sell), and assured me that we couldn't go wrong following in the footsteps of my sister and brother in law (although I do think it is unfortunate that the van happened to be the exact same color as theirs . . . ).

5. We handed over a check and drove away in a red minivan.

That pretty much sums it up! Hopefully this is what the baby was waiting for and she can be born now. . . .
