The time has come....

It looks as if the Buick is on its way to car heaven. It's been through alot. If we hadn't had the engine issue back in late 2002, I would probably look into fixing it. But, alas, it hasn't been the same since then. Ted has agreed to a minivan---I'm not sure if Hell froze over or my arguements finally sunk in. Maybe he just got sick of listening to me. I was all prepared to fight with him about since I figured out how to pay for it--Janiece is going to plan on working one night shift per month--on her weekend off--and that should make the payment. Off shift off weekend pay. Dana, I'm pretty sure you are the one who told me to do that. So, I was prepared by saying I am the one working to pay for this, I am the one who will most likely drive it. If you want a new vehicle you will agree to what I want. Geez--didn't even get a chance to use them. He has even found--drum roll please--a blue minivan--that would meet our needs. Not black--which is the color Ted has always wanted and sought out. So, we're off to look at this vehicle today and possibly purchase tomorrow. Wisconsin--no car sales on Sunday. Geez--Alihan is going to come home to just not a new family--but a new vehicle too!

Well, darn! I wish you'd have done this sooner. I was all set to send Ted the "I hear you drive a minivan" Peyton Manning pep talk but they're no longer available.

Congratulations on the new vehicle. You've got an SUV already so I don't need to elaborate on how much you'll like the extra space compared to a car.
