New Car Wishes


The latest purchase Mike and I are working on is the 2010 Ford Expedition EL. The bottom picture is what my 2001 Ford Focus looks like and the top picture is what we're hoping to upgrade to. It's not going to be read though. It's going to be the Eddie Bauer version and it's going to be dark blue pearl metallic. We've been talking with the dealer down in Houston about getting it so we're psyched! We were planning on getting it towards the end of the summer, but our timeline got moved up a bit b/c one of the guys I work with wants to buy my lovely focus (Ole Scooty as Josh calls it) for his 16 yoa son. It's super exciting b/c by selling it we're technically going to get more money for it, which is awesome!! Our tax credit is also mind blowing so that helped out a lot. I've also been working some O/T and Part Times, which is some extra money for a good down payment. We definitely need to move up to a bigger car with our two big dogs and prepare for a family! We're planning on keeping it for at least 8 or 10 years and we want to get used to the payments before we pop a kid out. It's going to be a couple years before we do that, but we'll be prepared financially when the time comes. It'll definitely be nice having room for the two dogs and all of our stuff. And of course if we have to carpool some friends and family around, they'll have room to sit comfortably! Sooo exciting!!
Mike's been preparing hardcore for the GMAT, which he's taking on the 24th! So we've been praying that he does well and gets into UTA's Grad School. He's also going to turn in his application with the National Guard so he can start their OCS next year in March. With my job, I've been thinking about going on loan to gang for a month or so and take a little break from patrol and gain a new experience. It would def be a lot of fun dealing with all of that.

How nice. I love how roomy it is. We won't have much of that with two kiddos in our little car. :)
