oh please don't laugh.......


Yep, for those of you who guessed minivan, you are correct! Who knew I would be 26 and driving this bad boy around?? Oh, and I don't laugh at you other moms that drive minivans, I just, well, have to get used to the idea......I'm sure you understand.

Finances are crazy and a hard point for lots of families and couples. It sure was for us for a long time.....well it is still is hard but we have learned a lot! Dave Ramsey got us completely debt free allowing us to start the adoption process for Olivia. His plan changed our thinking, our spending, and our family! The end of the adoption put us back into some debt but after being 9 months home, we are finally back on the other side. Well, once we sell Paul's car on craigslist next week! Not having a car payment will be great!

And we are blessed to have found this car. It was a great deal and we only need it for about 15 months. Oh yes, that's right, only 15 more months until Ethiopia! It feels like time is flying by! We are just praying that God will continue to fill the seats of this little minivan before we have to sell it!

  4. Dee Dee, don't you remember all the good times we had driving around in my Red Chevy Astro minivan. You, Kyle, Julie, Suzanne and me. Think of all the good times your kids will remember.
