...we just bought our first minivan!
(Man, do I feel old!)
In mid July, the kids and I spent a week in Indiana with my parents and brother. (I still have lots of good pictures to post and will hopefully catch up soon.) It was our first road trip with Kyle and I filled our SUV to the tip top. I literally couldn't see out the back window. Our vehicle that once felt so big (we bought it the year before Lily was born) now felt so tiny. So we tossed around the idea of getting a van, but weren't totally sure. We weren't out of space; it was just getting tight.
But then we started researching, and test driving, and found out the great deals that are being offered right now and made the switch. I was hard for me to get over the stigma of what it means to own a minivan. But ultimately, the power sliding doors, extra seats, and extra storage space got me pretty excited.
My life has flipped quite a bit in the last 3 months. I turned 30, had a second kid, quit my paying job, and bought a minivan (yes, I consider that a milestone). I now officially feel like an "old Mom". But that's a title I'm happy to have. Even though my days are crazy and I have no personal time any more, I feel blessed to be able to stay at home with my kids and watch them grow and learn every day. And now we'll have a more comfortable ride to do it in. :)
