From Passat Wagon to Swagger Wagon

Anyone who knows how Bill and I function is aware that right before we have a baby we always seem to make a big impulse buy. When I was 8 months pregnant with Henry we got our second dog Olive. Then I proceeded to cry for two days about it! She did turn out, despite most opinions about her, to be such a sweet addition to our family.

Well in true Bill and Katie fashion we went out on Saturday and bought a new car. The worst part was that I traded in my beloved passat wagon to do so! Bill has hated that wagon since the day we brought it home and I have loved it.

Anyhow we had decided we needed something bigger to suit our growing family. Also we were looking for something with extra seats for when family comes to town. So folks we got a mini van!!! Those who know Bill know he has wanted a mini van for years and I have always been very against it. I decided to let Bill make the call and basically came along to the car lot to play with Henry, who loved playing in all the floor models.

Anyhow Bill worked his magic and showed his sheer determination to own a mini van by trading in my passat, getting his mini van all while lowering our car payment. He is the happiest he has ever been! I on the other hand am getting used to the idea slowly. I find myself wanting to drive to the soccer field and load up a team! I do think though that I will soon be on Bill's side of the mini van love affair because it does have a lot of room which is so nice with our family! Here she is...


Yes it is a "swagger wagon" for those of you who have seen the you tube video. Here is the video if you haven't seen it.
