Okay, so a million years ago when I had delusions of grandeur and being rich and single I wanted a “little red rodeo.” Well, many years have passed and reality set in, along with 5 children. So the little red rodeo expanded to a big red growling machine. I love this machine. It is safe, reliable, has sweet amenities like letting the kids watch a video with headphones and letting the driver use the cd player and radio to listen to non animation, sweet upgraded side rails to make it look better, elbow room, 4 wheel drive, it growls-thanks to the upgraded tail pipe it came with-control lock windows (a definite MUST for those of us with little fingers in the vehicle) reliable, pretty but manly for when Tanner uses it for camping trips, fishing trips, scout outings, and just whenever he wants to drive something bigger than practical ford focus that gets good mileage, has working air conditioning that you can set the two front seats individually and the back seat at a 3rd setting, it’s reliable, and you can fit 3 wide based front facing carseats in one row, and did I mention it is reliable? It has never left me stranded, even when I rearended somebody, you couldn't even tell even though it nearly totaled the mini van I hit going less than 30 mph.... Well, I guess I love it a little too much. We sold it yesterday. The new owners will deliver a check and take the keys and my big red growling machine away on Friday. I already miss it. Now we are stuck with the ford focus for all 7 of us. Good thing church is less than a mile away! But on a happier note, the only debt we have is the mortgage on the house. No credit cards, no late payments, no car payments, nothing. And we still don’t have a job. But, Tanner is driving to a preliminary interview even now as I am updating. So, even if I don’t have my big red growling machine right now, it would be nice to have a job! Don’t forget to pray!
