On an exciting note, we finally got rid of our 4 door car and got my almost dream minivan. I know it sounds silly to have a minivan as a dream car, but it is so cool! My two favorite features are the Stow n' go seats and the side doors that open at the touch of a button. We really feel that Heavenly Father led us to a great deal on this car. The amount of stress that was lifted off of us was significant, as we were signing all the papers. We were really starting to worry about our little red car and all of the fixing it was starting to need. We are planning on keeping it at least for the next ten years, so we wanted to make sure it had everything that we needed and a lot of what we wanted. The Husband is even excited about it. He would prefer to have an SUV, but agrees that we got a great van and wants to take a road trip soon to test out all the cool features. It is a 2005, but with low miles and it looks practically brand new. We are feeling pretty happy about it. Now getting to Oregon should be a much more pleasant trip.

Surprise!
As if life wasn't crazy enough, the Husband called from training today and said that he would be training here for 4 weeks and then they were sending him to Oregon, to train at his new store, for 2 weeks and then bringing him back here for 1 week and then he will go back to Oregon permanently. Yikes! I have never been away from him for more than 5 days and that was before we had the girls. It should be interesting, but not in a fun way. I know I shouldn't complain. Lots of families have to be separated like that for much longer and on a much more frequent basis. I'll get through it, but I am curious how the girls are going to handle it. I also realized, after I talked to the Husband, that my birthday falls smack in the middle of the 2 weeks he is going to be in Oregon. That makes me sad. I have had a lot of cruddy birthdays in my life, but I have had the best birthdays since I was married, because of the Husband. He really goes out of his way to make me feel special. Oh, well, there is always next year.

A minivan was my dream car too! It makes transporting kids sooo much easier!
ReplyDeleteSorry you'll be alone on your birthday. I was alone on Valentine's Day last year, and did everything for myself that Jeff would have done. It wasn't too bad!
