We bought a mini-van!?!
Well, I turned 30 last January, Joy turns 30 next week, and we are the proud owners of 1 home, 2 kids, 1 dog, and a mini-van. At first I hesitated at purchasing a mini-van. What about that cool, hip image I'm suppose to have. Well, that wasn't happening anyway...and, I've realized my two boys aren't too worried about my looks.
So I'm here to say I'm proud to be a mini-van owner! It may not run through a dry riverbed, but it will run a DVD system on vacation. It may not carry a load of lumber, but it will carry seven comfortable people enjoying their ride. In fact, it's best for my family....and for that, I'm happy.
If you're interested in buying a new or used vehicle (we bought a 2004 Honda Odyssey) check out a few sites before getting started...
