Minnie

Last October, in the midst of buying our first home, nursing school, preparing for graduation, etc, our poor little Ford Focus died. :( It was my first car that I had purchased so we were sad. However, it would have cost more than it was worth to fix it. At the time we didn't have time to find and buy a new car, so we borrowed my dad's old truck that Heather and I both drove in High School, fondly known as "Old Blue" until we purchased another vehicle. Somehow, 2 months became like 6 months, and we finally settled on purchasing a mini van.

We were able to find this nice red Kia Sedona. It's a 2005 with 50,000 miles on it and we're very happy with it. The first day we drove it home Liam said, "Hey Mom, there is room for 4 more friends in here!" He hit the nail on the head. It's so nice to have a vehicle that can fit everyone comfortably. We decided to name her Minnie because she's a mini van and red like Minnie Mouse's bow. ;) Yes, we're cheesy like that, but we wanted to give her a nice name so hopefully she'll last a nice long time for us. ;) Liam was very sad to see Old Blue go back to Nana and Papa's house, but I'm sure it'll last another 15 years or so, so he'll be able to learn to drive in Old Blue, too.
