The Kitchen Family

MINIVAN MAMA

 At 25 years old, I am officially a MINIVAN MOM.

WEIRD.

I never thought I would drive a van, especially at 25 with two kids. 

But ya know, I'm am definitely okay with it. 

Obviously.

I love my van!

We got a smokin deal {of course, we're the most frugal couple out there} and at this point of not having a second vehicle for 3 years I was ready and willing to drive whatever possible, as long as it had 4 wheels and was reliable.

I lucked out with this baby.

Only has 85,000 miles on it, so it feels pretty much new compared to my 1995 Honda Accord that's coming up on 220,000 miles.

It was time for an upgrade, and this one is perfect for our family. Plenty of room to lug around the boys and all the STUFF that comes with them, AND we can now pay back and give rides to others.

 Cohen can't stop talking about his new van.

He sorta gets a little giddy every time we go to get in it.

This evening it was pouring rain, so to give Brock some quiet study time the boys and I went and "played" in the van. We blasted music and danced, until Brendon had enough.

 I feel like a queen.

Brock wrote me a note on our bathroom mirror the morning we got the van that said "Today will be the day that you are no longer on house arrest". I laughed out loud.

Quite honestly, not having a car has not been that bad at all.

I have AMAZING friends that have lent me their cars to go to appts, or driven me and the boys around.

But I am definitely NOT going to miss having to go grocery shopping at 9:30 pm.

I already feel free and I've only owned the van for 2 days.

Look out Fort Worth, here we come!!
