Our Newest Arrival!

Made you look. No, it isn't a baby. Not Yet! We just bought a brand new 2011 Honda Odyssey. It is amazing. It is silver with gray leather interior. It has 8 seats and a huge trunk. There is a DVD player, sunroof, trunk and side doors open by themselves, ice cooler, etc. Do I need to go on? This was my birthday/mother's day present. The BEST Ever!
Matt and I have been saving money for a long time for this purchase. We wanted to be able to pay cash for it. We have been looking at different vans for months and this is what we both loved and decided was best for our family. Matt went up to WA state last weekend and picked it up for us. It was a long 3 days apart but we made it. The boys and I were outside waiting for him when he pulled up in our new car. We were so excited. I am still trying to get use to driving it and knowing what all the buttons do. So many gadgets I don't want to press the wrong one. It is also big and longer then my car so that is something else I have to get use too.
I am so happy and excited about our new addition to the family. It was a good deal and we will have this van for a long time!
