We finally got a Van!

We've been looking off and on for a van for the last year... We keep saying "yeah we are getting a van" but nothing ever felt right for us... till now. It was a Sunday night and I was just checking my email and stuff and I thought maybe I'll just check KSL one more time to see whats there. I'd had become almost addicted to KSL classifieds while we looked for our van but had become discouraged. So I wasn't expecting much because I had just checked it a day or two before. But when I got on there our van was there and had just been posted. It was perfect for us... everything felt right about it. It was north of us and not too far away from Brady's sister so we aske her and her husband if they would check it out for us the next day to see if it was really worth us coming up to check it out ourselves. They liked it enough that we thought we'd better get up there to check it out before it was gone. So we went up the next day and after driving it around for a while we said we'd take it. The lady was so nice and we thought that they were selling it for less than it was worth and we felt like we got a great deal on it. Which has been nice because I tend to get buyers remorse pretty bad and as of yet I still feel good about it.


So here are some pictures of the outside... I'll post some of the inside when I take some... It has DVD player instaled in it which the boys love (although we've had to make a rule that we don't turn it on unless we are driving for more than a half hour) It has a lot of great features like power locks and windows (which we've never had before) It also has the power doors which I've been enjoying because I usually have full hands when I head for the car.




On the back bumper is where she said she backed into her Bishop... but other than that it is in really good shape!

That is awesome! I am jealous of the DVD player. That would be awesome for road trips. Now, don't go swiping any spiders in your van! (It was a spider, right?)
