Hey all, I got a new truck! Saturday, we went out looking at SUV type vehicles versus vans. The car we had was kinda small for 2 car seats, and impossible if Ally ever wanted to bring home a friend or anything (plus, you never know, we may have a 3rd or 4th or 5th kid). We knew we wanted something bigger eventually, but hadn't decided to do it yet. We went on a fact finding trip and ruled out a bunch of vehicles that just didn't have enough room for our purposes. Then we looked at a Durango, that Rob had put on the top of his possibilities list. He really liked them. So we looked and saw one that was perfect. Rather than wait, we just decided to buy it. We're instant gratification people. It's an 05 with lots of neat features and stuff, but mainly - it's big. It's been about 2 years since we traded in the Chevy, and I missed having a truck. of course, hte gas mileage isn't great, but it wouldn't be in a van either, and that's where we were headed if the SUV things didn't work out. And it was actually cheaper than a new van would have been. Ally loves it. She's currently sitting all the way in the back of the 3rd row. She has her own seat. I'm in class this week away from my desk, so don't have my cord for my camera. You know I would have posted pictures already otherwise. (And don't give me any crap about "you could always upload them at home"! You know I have no time for that stuff at home!) I'll post pictures later.
Oh, and it's really hard to get used to saying "truck" instead of "car". Rest assured I will get used to it. Ally will make me--> Me: "Get in the car, Ally" Ally: "It's not a car - it's a truck!" Me: (sigh) "Well, do it anyway"
