Awesome Car Deal

Today Mike and I bought a mini van. We have been thinking about doing so for awhile. We decided that we would trade in our SUV and hopefully have it mostly paid off. Well this morning we went to the dealership, found a car we wanted to test drive, test drove it and loved it.
We went in the office and they said they had to drive our SUV to see what the value would be. The guy came back in and wrote some things on his computer  and said "you guys are killing me." He showed us how much we owed after the trade in and it was $45! Which he said that he would just drop that from the price, since it was a little older and the warrenty was gone we got a package where if anything goes wrong with the engine or transimmsion up to 5 years they will pay for it.
We also had to get some keys made, which was a little more, but we were fine with it. The van has captain chairs that when you lay them down they lay down flat. The third roll can also lay down flat. There is a 6 disc dvd player and a 6 disc cd player. There is storage places on the floor. We love it and we felt right about this change. Hopefully in the fall we can buy Mike a small car to drive around.

Day 130

I am grateful that we finally heard from Disneyland. Since it took long to get here, we have to wait until Mike is done with school for the semester to go.
I am grateful that we got the kids all new swimming suits today while we were at the store. I am hoping to get them in swim lessons this year, but we will see.
