New Addition

So last weekend we added a new addition to our family. No, it is not another pet, but another car. After a month of stress and discussion we finally decided on getting another small, fuel efficient car that Mike will be able to drive after the Corolla dies. Once we have more than 2 kids we will move on up to a van or something. I have never purchased a vehicle before and so had no idea how time consuming the process can be. Luckily Mike handled most of the research and figures.
Emma loves the "blue car" and wishes that she was able to ride in it more. For the time being I want to keep the new car from getting as trashed as the Corolla so Emma has not spent too much time in it. We ended up getting a 2010 Hyundai Elantra, but it was brand new and a super great deal since they really just wanted to get the older model off their lot. It is so nice having 2 vehicles now, just a lot more flexibility with our schedules. Glad that process is over for at least a few more years.

That will be so nice. Adam and I carpool a lot but I can't imagine only having one car. It will be so nice for you guys to have two.

It is SO much easier having two vehicles, I am amazed that you have survived so long with only one:).

I didn't know you only had one car. Congrats on the new car. It sounds like a good deal.
