New Car

This was a really big step for Patrick and I it was the first actually NEW car for both of us!

Volkswagen Passat TDI SE

It's wonderful I love it! It's pretty and it has tons of room in the backseat for our kids.

I got a manual ahh. It's my first so I have to do the whole learning to drive thing again. It's not so bad I am getting there. Once you get going it's easy, I just have to get really good at the starting thing. I do pretty well on flat ground, but man hills suck. Patrick says it has hill assist but if that is the case why do I roll down the hill backwards?

It's hard learning something new. Once you're a mom aren't you supposed to know how to do everything? Or are grown-ups just supposed to be really good at deceiving children? hmmm

Durango

Well we got a new Durango on Saturday. We have been looking for a while and found this one. It is going to be perfect for us. It's four wheel drive and it has third row seat and I am a very happy mama. Oh and it is the first car I have paid for in cash up front. That's right ya'll no payments!! :D

Car

Recently I have been on the hunt for a car. I have to get all the finances in order and I have to figure out exactly what I want. I love my car but it is becoming clear that it simply isn't big enough. It's fine when I'm just toting Gabe around town but you add Patrick Shawn and Wesson and you have three boys squished together in the back seat esp if we drive for any distance and the biting hitting screaming and pinching begins. and let me tell you this mama cant handle that.

I want an SUV but am considering a Mini Van which I am very unsure about. idk I just have never liked the look of one but the room is incredible and we could separate the kids so they each had their own little world and that would be great. Plus it seems I am always needing more space. Either way I am going to have third row seating.

It's a very slow process I am just looking around and considering all of my options. Whatever I end up getting I am going to love it and I am not going to be pushed into doing anything to fast. I just need to figure out exactly what I want.

Wish me luck. Any moms out there have a vehicle they just love?

Axiom

I noticed about the 10th of this month that the Axiom's license was expired, at the end of July *Crap* Anyway I have since had it inspected and of course it didn't pass. The turn signal handle is broken and doesn't turn on the "brights" even though it does do everything else. We have been trying to aquire a part since then. We have officially ordered it today, however it is going to take 5 days to come in which of course means it wont be until Sept until I can get it put in and get my license renewed.

2 months of late fees $10
Renewal for 2 years $50
Inspection $12
Part $250
Instilation $80
_____
$402

Being done with this process = Priceless
