Upgrade

So, as Mini-Muffin's arrival gets nearer, Mark and I have finally bit-the-bullet and bought a "new" car. Sadly, my 1996 Saturn was just not going to cut-it for our expanding family...especially with a 90ish lb. dog that "needs" her space when traveling. (We tried to put a bunch of stuff in one of the back seats of Mark's Maxima during a recent trip home to VA, in an attempt to get Candy used to the space that would be taken-up by a carseat, but all she proceeded to do was sprawl-out all over everything in the back seat...not a very successful endeavor to say the least.) So, we said good-bye to my little Green car of 8 years and hello to The Banana Version 2.0 aka a 2006 Nissan X-terra. Needless to say, Mark is rather excited to have another yellow vehicle to drive, that is also a manual transmission (6-speed). I am now the primary driver of the Maxima, which in itself is quite an upgrade, and has a lot more room for our little man, than my old car would have provided. Overall, we feel very blessed with the outcome of the entire situation and look forward to driving our "new" Banana for many years to come!


My little green car was definitely no wimp! It hauled our Christmas tree home this past Christmas!
