It has been a bit since I have blogged. Things here have been crazy busy (as they are for most families). I have had a job for John and that has kept me rather busy. When I wasn't doing that I was either working on my bedroom (the floor is being put in as I write!), or doing something with the family.
In fact, so much has happened that I had to make a list so that I didn't forget to post anything!!
These will not be in order of occurrence.
On Saturday I was busy working and Wayne told me that he was going to go car shopping. Now, I had told him for a few days that I needed to work on Saturday, so when he asked if I was going, I said no, I had to work. I didn't know that he felt that he should go on Friday and didn't and by Saturday he knew he needed to go out. (I found that out much later.) We had already done research and knew that we wanted either a Honda or a Toyota. We want something that will last. While he was at a Honda dealer, I called a Toyota dealer to get prices for a new Corolla or Camry. (The Camry was a pipe-dream, but they are nice!)
Wayne really liked a blue, 2008 Honda Civic LX. It only has 8100 miles. I told him that he couldn't get anything unless I went to see it. He came down, picked me (and the kids) up (in the Civic). I drove it around. I asked what he thought and he said he thought we should get it as it is a nice car, was the kind we wanted and they gave him the price that he wanted. I felt good about it, so we ended up getting it. (Like you didn't guess this from the very beginning!)
We picked it up on Tuesday night after Wayne got out of work.
Next....we need to save up to replace my van (hopefully in a few years). Then maybe an Odyssey or a Sienna. Anybody have experience with either of those?
So, without further ado.....the much anticipated, not white car!
(The only requirement that the kids had was that it couldn't be white because our last 3 cars were white.)

It looks great! I can't wait to see it in person.
Wonderful! COngrats, it's actually very beautiful. Love that color. And I am SOOO with you on the white. That was my top stipulation as well! We now drive a Sienna and I can tell you that it is a wonder to drive. I love love LOVE it. Though I've heard the Hondas are also wonderful. I've heard you can't go wrong with either of them.
Cool lookin ride! :o) We have a CRV and I am literally in love with that car. I have never loved any of my cars before but I LOVE that car. Getting to my point...we went to the dealership and we were just talking about all of the cars that they had and they said that the Odyssey was the same thing except bigger. So IF we ever buy a van, we will probably buy the Odyssey!
Congrats! We love our seinna. This is our second one. The first we felt we needed to sell before going out NY so we didn't have a car payment and I missed it terribly with all the pain we had our white GMC beast. Bob just got a used 2008 Civic too. His is dark blue. The dealership gave him a good trade in for our subru that was dying and a great price on the car too. The guys are driving the same car. How funny! We figured it would last to become a great kids car to drive in the future. Can you believe Caleb turns 15 this nov. and can start driving? Yikes! He is going to get a clunker and learn how to fix it for his car with a YM's leader.
