2 Vehicles in 2 Weeks

We have been looking at vans for months.  We usually take a long time to take decisions (especially ones that involve spending money).  When we were able to move TJ to a bigger car seat and still fit all 3 kids in the back of the seat we decided to postpone buying a van.

Then we decided we were moving back to Utah.  Moving prices are insane! We were having a hard time deciding how to move (moving truck, pod, etc...).  About 5 days before we moved we bought a truck.  Why a truck?!  To move.  It was going to save us $1000 in moving costs and we figured we would be able to sell it in Utah after we got there.

Then plans kind of changed even more last minute and we unloaded our stuff and left the truck in Arkansas.

Fastforward 2 weeks.  We're in Utah and we knew we need to get a van.  The Corolla just wasn't going to fit us much longer and my sister and her family will be able to get a lot more use out of it than we can.  So we were keeping an eye open and found a van.

We liked it.  It doubled the amount of space we had.  It had sliding doors.  It had tons of miles....but that also means it fit into our meager budget! And did I mention those sliding doors?! And that it fit our budget?!

So far we like it.  I'm still terrified of backing up and parking it. And I feel like I need a microphone to talk to kids in the very backseat....but we like it.



Awful picture...but there it is all loaded up with our stuff in the back.


And here's the van.  She doesn't have a name.  We agree she's a she...just doesn't have a name.
