We have been having problems with our Blazer for awhile and took it in to be looked at today. And I hate to say it, but we have reached the breaking point on how much more money we will be shelling out for that vehicle. And its got a new AC and new tires already this year. We’ve decided we will keep driving it until it breaks down or until we’ve sold it (put a for sale sign in the back.)
\nGoodbye first car of mine. You served me well.<\/p>\n
Sooo . . . we bought a new car. A minivan! Hahaha.<\/p>\n
Nate said now we are a middle aged family. I told him not until he turns 30. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The great thing about it is that we will easily be able to cart around our family plus the two foster kids this week. (plus 2 more if we needed to). And I think its prettier than the Blazer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
