Despite having been able to put Erin off for several months, we’re going to buy a minivan in the very near future. We’ve got a Dodge out for test drive right now, and are planning on heading to a Ford dealer tonight to see what they’ve got on offer. I hate shopping for a vehicle, but that’s what we’re doing.

The Focus has been a really good car for us, but unfortunately it’s just too small. I think the breaking point was when we realized that William’s new winter boots don’t fit between his car seat and the back of the driver’s seat. It’s going to suck to have car payments again, that’s all I know.
