This week has been crazy already. We started our car search about a week ago, and though I already pretty much knew what I wanted, I didn't think we'd get it quite so quick. I was looking at the Ford Escape, even though I've always been a Dodge girl. And though I really didn't want to get rid of my Cali (2007 Dodge Caliber), the possibility of Mike having to travel more and having another winter like last year, where a few times I couldn't even get up our driveway meant that there wasn't much choice. The Cali was a little small in the backseat and truck area too, which wouldn't be good for travelling with baby. So it was time to upgrade.
We went to two dealerships and drove five different Escapes and we finally decided on a nice red one (that makes the transition a little easier for me since I was so attached to Cali). They gave us $900 more for the trade-in (also made me feel better!) plus 0% interest (HOORAY!) so we got all sorts of awesome options on top of the four-wheel drive. It's a pretty nice car! Baby Hoek is spoiled already ;)
I can't wait to drive it again today, it's pretty exciting to have a new car again, even if I really will miss my trusty Caliber. It was hard to drive away without it. But the world keeps turning and thus I needed something new for our family. And now I have to figure out a name for the CAR as well! :)
