Cars, Cars, Cars

Well, we are on our 8th car of our marriage... yes, I typed that correctly - EIGHT VEHICLES!!!!!!! I had my silver Maxima when we got married, traded that for the 350Z (fun, but silly decision), then traded that for my red BMW - 10 months later. BJ had his little red Nissan truck when we got married, traded that for his black GMC truck, then traded that for his silver F150. We looked back, and each year we have been married (five), we have purchased either a car or a house - and each year, we say we're not going to make any large purchases... then comes Sam!!!!!
Sam has brought on our worst year yet (insofaras purchases go!) - we have bought two new cars in less than 5 weeks. When Sam was 2 weeks old, we found ourselves in the Chevy dealership trading BJ's truck for an '07 Tahoe. I must say that I LOVE the room, and it drives really good - it drives more like a car that I gave it credit for! After all my rants about how we WILL make my car work!!!! Today, we traded my BMW for a Mazda 3 - I will admit, that I hated to see that car go, and I actually had to pet it before we left it! This car is no frills, just good gas mileage and safe enough for BJ to commute back and forth to Buckhead. This has actually put us ahead financially, and should help in insurance AND in gas!!!!!! BJ is the one who "suffers" here, and has "sacrificed" for this little guy and our family, but he seems really happy about it - and it really was the best decision we could make given the circumstances!!!! I am so blessed to have such a loving and wonderful and selfless husband!!!!!!!!!!

That being said - for real - NO MORE LARGE PURCHASES FOR US!!!!!!!! That's it - we're done... for at least another couple of years!!!!!!! =)

Sam, of course was a little angel through all the sitting and waiting and dealing! Right now, though, he is awake and a little fussy... thank goodness BJ is home!!! My back hurts, and I am tired!!!! Time for bed!

Peace out everyone!!!!!!!! Laterveer OUT!!!!!
