Van

We are getting a van! Yay! I am excited. I was really worried how we were going to be able to fit all three carseats in the back of our car. It would fit, but it would be a tight squeeze.

Number three is making her appearance in 26 days! I can't believe it. I feel so unprepared for this baby. I need to get her things ready so she has stuff to wear and diapers. I have just been so out of it for a while. My body has not been wanting to do everything I want it to. PLUS, I have two other children to teach and entertain. It can get a little rough, but my wonderful husband has really helped.

(Side note: Elizabeth is trying to sneak up on me right now. It is really cute.)

Details about the van. It is a 2000 Ford Windstar. How are we getting such a vehicle? It all started a few weeks ago when Adam's Aunt Karen and Uncle Steve came to visit for Brynna's high school graduation. We were just talking about the baby and when she was coming. Aunt Karen said, "I have a van I need to get rid of before July. It's in good condition and I'll sell it to you for a dollar." WHAT?!?!?!?!? YES!!!!!! I tell you this was an answered prayer.

Heavenly Father keeps blessing us. I know that if we continue to do what we can that is right we will be blessed. I can't believe how much we have been given by so many these last few years as we try to figure out how to be adults and parents. I married a great man and into an awesome family. I also was raised by amazing parents who taught me many things in order to survive being a grown-up.

When I get pictures of the van I will post them. Adam is bring the van home today from Alabama. He got to go on a road trip. I know that made him happy.

Hahahaha, I've been DYING to tell you about my dream last night. I've had some weird ones lately, so don't take it personally. I was waiting outside some shopping center with you for Adam to pull up with the van and he came rolling in with this MONSTROUS 15 passenger van that looked new but pretty ugly from the outside and we were both a little worried. But we got inside and it was totally swagger... like super luxury with odd little features... like instead of 15 passenger it was only (ha, only) 12... it had 2 rows of 2 seats side by side, one row of 3 with space in the middle to get to the last row with 3... and then of course the front seats and the dash had some groovy tile/stone work on it. But it was so clean and comfy and I was so happy for you! Haha. So excited to see your van!!! I looked up pics of vans like that and they look so nice!! Happy for you guys, and honored to call such righteous people "friends" :)
