Future Soccer Mom

Yes, it’s official. We, the Smith family, have formally joined the mini-van club! After discussing it for many months, we felt that it was finally the right time to transition our vehicles into the next phase of our lives. Of course, this may have had something to do with two minor factors that transpired around the same time. (1) Following the big snows of February, the battery in Erik’s Mustang went out due to lack of use; it was basically just sitting in a snow bank for weeks. (2) Shortly after that, the transmission in my Jimmy kerplunked (yes, that’s a technical term) completely out of the blue. This naturally left us without any vehicle at all to drive, although thankfully my mother let us borrow her car for awhile. Thanks, Mom!

Now we have our new van, plus the Jimmy with its new transmission. Hopefully we are done paying money for vehicles for the time being. Keep your fingers crossed! At any rate, should it really feel this cool to drive a mini-van?
