Our New Toy!!!

Okay, so as all of you know, Bo wrecked the little white car a couple of weeks ago. Since then we have been a one car family and trying to decide what we wanted to get. Well, we knew we had to do something fast, since we ARE NOT A ONE CAR FAMILY!!! (Way to many places to be at the same time!)
So, we started getting all of our ducks in a row, financing, payments, etc. The next step was finding what we wanted. We kind of had an idea but weren't sure if we would even be able to find what we wanted in our price range. So, Dad suggested we go visit a friend up in Pocatello that owns a used car dealership and ask him if he knew of anyone or had any ideas for us. Well, we stopped in and asked, he made some phone calls for us and the next thing we knew we were driving around town with him talking to different dealerships and skipping all the middle men! Yep, we went right to the managers! It was GREAT! Thanks Roy Brown at R & J Used Auto!!!
Well, we ended finding two trucks that we really liked and couldn't decide between the two. So on Saturday afternoon we headed back to Pocatello, test drove them both and then decided that whoever gave us the best price would be the winner. So, Phil Meador Toyota gave us the best deal and we took it! So, here is the new truck . . . .

It is a Nissan Titan and it has lots of extras, like a gas and brake pedal that move towards you for us short legged folk!!!! We love this truck! It is just what we wanted! Bo will be the main driver, although, the girls think that I should be driving it!!! I just told them that during the winter when dad gets called into town and there is snow on the ground, that he will have to drive the truck that has 4-wheel drive!!!!
By the way, soccer is officially over. Our last games were on Saturday. It was a beautiful day to end soccer on. We had trophies and the kids had a blast! So here's to next year!!!!
Love to all and have a GREAT week!

Congrats on the new vehicle. That will be really fun after your little car.

Isn't it cool how things work out for a reason? you guys moved to Malad but didn't buy a house. Now your parents are leaving and you can stay and house sit! I'm excited for their mission. I bet they're glad you guys are there to keep an eye on things.

That's a pretty nice truck! Congrats on that. Sorry about your husband getting in that wreck..That would scare me to death..

I will gladly save that picture for ya..Just let me know when you need it!!!

My kids hurt my feelings all the time..as if you don't sacrifice enough for them, then they turn around and tell you how fat you are..its a good thing they are so lovable...

Take care.
