New (used) Vehicle!



Here it is. At last! Yesterday we purchased a 2007 Honda Odyssey. You must admit it is appropriate that we own an 'Odyssey' since we are both classicists.

Mike did his homework and his research showed that the Odysseys are terrific minivans. Over the past month, We have looked at a lot of different vans and made several offers. We found this grey one on Craig's List and jumped on it. We went to see it the next day and the owners said they had already had 12 responses to their ad; I'm telling you, these vans are hot commodities.

I must admit, I am still a bit attached to our truck that we sold - but this Honda rides just as nice and is equally as comfortable. It has lots of room - I think it is time to go for a roadtrip! :) I'm excited that it has a remote control starter - what more could you ask for with cold MN winters? Click a button from inside your house and then run out to a warm car.

Last year at this time, we sold and bought a car within a few days of Faustina's birth. The same pattern is happening around this baby....but this little person needs to stay in me for a few more weeks! We're not planning on doing car deals every time we have a baby - we anticipate having this one for a loooonnnnng time.
