A few weeks ago, Brian was rear ended on his way home from work. Well today we got the official notice that the insurance company is going to be totaling his truck, and giving us the money to buy a new one. This kind of works in our favor, as we had planned on selling his truck and buy a newer, bigger one, since the kids are getting too big for the back seat of his Ranger.
We started looking at trucks today. Well let me rephrase that, we looked at one truck today. It was NOT good, horrible condition and not what was advertised. I know that our budget isn't the biggest for what we want, but there has to be something better than what we just looked at.
In the meantime, he is driving a rental car. I really like the rental except that it is on the small side. It does have some features that I have wanted in a car for ever! Such as a sun roof. That seems silly, but I have craved one for years, literally. We have bought several cars in the last ten years, but never have we purchased one with a sun roof and most likely will not this time either. It will be fun to have one though for the next week or so.
We are a God-loving family, and life for us is wonderful! We love to stay busy with our children, read the bible, and just spend time as a family. Even though life for us can get chaotic, we would not change it for anything!
