Finally

After much consideration, we have decided to take the next leap of faith for our family. I'm.............

the proud new owner of a minivan!! I just couldn't take the pressure anymore. All the comments like, "When are you going to have another car? It's about that time." or, "You can do it- you're good at taking care of your other cars." and the most obvious, "You aren't getting any younger."

Alright, it didn't take much consideration at all. Our Altima died on us last weekend and I immediately had visions of minivans dancing in my head. Unlike most human beings who resist the minivan purchase but eventually do it because, well, they realize it's absolutely necessary when you have kids and just plain delightful, I've been dreaming of buying one since renting one with friends in California 2 years ago. My day is finally here and this pleases me. C'mon all you minivan haters. You know you secretly want one. Just let go and give in to your true, worthy desires!
