New car

Our old car was starting to die, seriously it was more like it was dead and we were forcing it to go just a few miles more... Jesse and I decided we should probably start looking at a getting a new car because we'd need it soon. Well two days after looking at some cars our car died. I was driving home from work and it wouldn't go faster than 10 miles per hour, the temperature gauge was far into the red, and smoke was coming out from under the hood!!! YIKES!!!! We drove (with a lot of faith and prayer) to the dealership and decided to buy the car we'd looked at the Saturday before. By some freak miracle we were able to get $500 trade-in on our dead car. Kelly Bluebook stated that our car, in perfect condition was only worth $700 but since ours was in terrible shape Kelly Bluebook stated it was worth $0. I guess the good men at the dealership either felt bad for us or haven't kept up on todays trade-in values.
Jesse and I decided to buy a 2003 Kia Spectra. It's nothing fancy, but it's the newest car either one of us have ever had! Plus it's GREAT on gas, very affordable, we got a great deal on it, and I don't have to fear that my car will die on the way to the hospital!

The doctor told us that we should start packing my bag for the hospital and put the carseat in the car. Jesse decided to put the carseat in and a little sign in the window. It's crazy how different people drive around you when you put a little sign in your window...
