Mormon Mom in a Minivan

I had several titles in mind for this post:
Much a do about nothing,
Good-by to a dear friend
Adventures in used car Hell,
The time has come the time is Now...
A little history: Right before Sport was born two of our friends and neighbors bought new Honda Odyssey Mini-vans. I swore I would NEVER be the mormon mom in the mini-van, but then I ran errands with Sue in her van with ALL of the children... I was SOLD! We started looking and discovered mini-vans are NOT cheap. We looked at new and used and every brand under the sun. We pondered and prayed and then I saw an add in a magazine for the new Toyota Sienna. I turned to Indy and said, "THAT is the Ultimate mom car" I have never "ordered" a car. I promised him I would drive it forever and we ordered the van. I claim I don't get attached to "things"but for the last 7 years I have loved that van. I think it has like 11 cup holders. Which means when you do drive through at Wendy's you have room for all the drinks and the frosties! A few years ago we packed our family of 5 plus 2 babysitters, 2 strollers and everyones crap for a week in Mexico, in that van. THAT is a COOL car! To be able to click your keyless remote three times and have both side doors and the rear hatch open is HEAVEN with small children. During the 121,000 miles we have not had a single rattle or repair. Baby # 4 is a game changer when it comes to vehicles. Whenever we are towing anything or making a trip to BL with lots of STUFF we have to take Indy's truck. The truck will seat 6 but that means having Master sit in the front with us and Master is a BIG kid! Not to mention he likes to play with every dial and nob in front of him. Time for a new vehicle. Before I could even list it on KSL, Jessica called and said if I was ever selling the van she wanted it. Voila meet Frank, Jess and Gavin new owners of the van For some time now we have been searching Auto-trader and KSL for a Yukon XL or a Suburban 2500. Pickings were slim but we felt confident we would be able to find something. After 2 days in Used CAR HELL, of which I will spare you the details, we ended up looking at new stuff. Then after another 5 days in decision HELL we have finally made a decision. I don't have a picture yet but I'll give you a big fat hint: I txt my friend and asked her, "If I'm no longer a mormon mom in a mini-van what am I?" Her response was "a busty babe in a burb....duh!" I'm going to have to work on that profile....pictures of the latest addition to our family coming soon.
