Our Newest Addition...probably not what you are expecting!!!

Well, we added a new member to our family this weekend. After much discussion and debate, we just knew it had to be done. We got a new car!!! Big Blue just wasn't cutting it for a family car. Back in the beginning of the summer, we realized that my car would not hold 3 carseats in the back row. Since Caleb (and me for that fact) are nowhere near ready for a booster, we knew we would have to make a change. We debated on a minivan vs. an suv with a 3rd row and that was wide enough to hold all 3 carseats in the middle row. After much research and many visits to dealerships, we found that the suv was the way to go. So, the search was on and it finally came to an end this weekend. We decided that what we really wanted was a Toyota Sequoia, but a Tahoe or Yukon would work too. We looked and looked and actually found two cars that were a little over what we wanted to spend, but we considered it because they were great deals. They were a little farther away than what we wanted, but we were willing to travel because they were such great deals. The first car we saw was in Tx and we found it on a Sunday. When we called Monday morning,they had sold the car that Saturday. So, we kept looking. The next time we found a car we liked,it was in NC and pretty much the same situation happened. We found it, called about it, and it was sold the day before. So, after much prayer and just leaving it to Him, it all worked out. We now have a car that we can all ride in, it was within our price point, the mileage, features, etc is everything that we wanted. We are extremely blessed and know that the good Lord knows what he is doing and everything works out in His timing and planning, not ours. The new car was officially the last thing on our list of things to do before Baby C arrives, so now we are set and just waiting for her to arrive!
