Another family car

For the first time since I've known him (over 10 years), my husband doesn't have a pickup truck! First he had a Ford Ranger, then a Ford F-150, then a Toyota Tacoma, which he's had for the past 5 1/2 years. He realized a few weeks ago that the car seat will not work in it if someone other than the baby wants to ride in it (like me!), and we had to come up with a solution. He started looking at used Nissan Xterras, and found a great one. He decided to post his truck for sale at about 10:30 the other night to see what happened. First thing the next morning he had a buyer for it! So yesterday he sold his truck, then bought the Xterra. Although the Xterra has a few more miles than the truck, it's 2 years newer, and he sold the truck for more than he bought the Xterra for! How cool is that? Not a whole lot more, but hey--ahead is ahead. We never thought we'd be able to trade the truck for a much roomier one without paying a lot of money. I'm thinking God's guiding us because it couldn't have worked out better.

Now he'll have to fight me for the keys, because also for the first time, I actually want to drive his vehicle!

Wow, great deal! We're going through the same thing right now, J is having a hard time giving up his 2 door sporty car for a "larger" 4 door car...but all the 4 door cars he's looking at are as small as his 2 door and look like death traps!!! UGH!

You know, since you are pregnant, it would be MUCH easier for you to get in and out of the Xterra instead of you car..........
