We Have A New Ride!!!



Yes we got a new (well new to us) van. Johnny's brother fixes windshields at car dealerships and called Johnny today because he saw a van that we should check out. Johnny swung out and looked at it and the guy said it was going to go fast, so tonight we had a babysitter come over and watch the kids so that we could take our van (just in case). As we were driving out there Johnny prayed that we would make a good decision and that we wouldn't buy it just because we were so hot:) :) Our air conditioner went out on our van several weeks ago, that being the reason we were sweating like crazy. We have been packing the family into Johnny's truck which has been very crowded! Our van had almost 200,000 miles on it and had seen better days. This is a 2000 Ford Windstar and had one owner and has 42,000 miles. It was owned buy an older lady and the inside is in excellent condition, practically brand new!! As an added bonus the air conditioning works like a million bucks!:) They gave us more than we expected out of our lovely green van (i must say i was not sad to say goodbye!) Trey's comment was "did you win the million bucks mommy?" he's been trying to get me to buy this yogurt when we grocery shop that says you can enter to win a million bucks. He thought for sure we must have one since we had a new van:). The Lord has blessed us today and answered two of our prayers that we have been praying about. It has been a good day!!

Congrats on your new ride! We just replaced our old vehicle with a "new-to-us" van, too, and it is so nice. So much room!

Trey is going to think cars are really cheap when he realizes they don't cost a million bucks! He says the cutest things!
