A New Era

The Mini-Van. 

*Sigh* 

It's here.

 Obviously, it was inevitable.  I mean, when you're about to have a 4th child, there are only so many options available for transportation.  And a non-gas-guzzler was a must.

 I'm not going to lie.  This mini-van has been awesome.  As dumb (and old) as I feel driving it, it is heaven to have space between the kids.  Ty took a two hour nap on the way home from Batesville and Cate fell asleep for the night at 8:15 in the middle of a movie.  Both of those things used to be impossible.  (Cate in the middle seat was never ideal- she doesn't respect anyone's personal space.)

 It is also a HUGE answer to prayer.  It's in incredible shape, doesn't have a ton of miles on it, and let me tell you- the price was right.  We have been blessed over and over and over again.  God has been so faithful to provide for us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it. 

We are very thankful.  And if you hear me whining about driving a mini-van, hit me.  Hard. 

PS- That toolbox has come in handy.
