Our new ride!

We did it. We finally broke down and bought another car. It was quite the experience. We have been married for almost 5 years and were doing pretty good with just the one car. David would drive to school once or twice a week and then carpool the rest. It was working out well, until this year. Now that they are in clinic, they are on totally different schedules and it was hard to coordinate rides. Plus he felt like he was burdening other people if he had to stay later at school and made them stay so he could get a ride. So we started shopping. We were going to try and just get a beater car so he could drive to and from school. But the more we looked, the more we saw that most of them were just bigger headaches (imminent breakdowns in the near future). So we had to take the student loan money we tried not to touch in hopes that would wouldn't have to pay back as much. We used the money and purchased this Chevy Malibu from the Omaha Mission office. We picked through 8 cars and looked through their records and found a great one. The missionaries that had this car were all pretty easy on it and it wasn't in any accidents. It has been lots of fun to drive around. We put Isabel's new car seat in it and she enjoys seeing what is in front of her. She loves to look out the window and point everything out. We feel blessed that we were able to find a decent car that was in our price range. Hopefully this one will be good to us for at least the 2 years of school that we have left!
