out with the old in with the new....

Jeff and I have been talking about how we needed to buy a vehicle that is more family friendly and we could travel in together. We love our truck but it is not the most comfortable vehicle for all three of us to travel in since the person in the passenger has to bite their knees in order for Bay to have enough room for his legs in his car seat. We also loved our Honda Civic as well but that car had not been dependable enough for us to drive long distances and we were afraid it was going to die anytime on us. It was just not the best situation.

We were planning on saving up and purchasing a Honda or Toyota car next summer but when we heard that my grandparents were selling their Honda we became very interested. They had a 2002 Honda CR-V that was in amazing condition that they were selling since they were going to buy a new Toyota. We talked it over with my grandparents and with each other and we decided that we were going to do it...we were going to buy the car from them. The next step was how to get it back to Idaho and to sell our Civic, both of which were easy tasks to do.

We put our Civic up for sale on Craigslist and it was sold in about a hour and a half. It was so amazing! We decided to fly into Salt Lake and see my sister and pick up the car and drive it home...It worked out so nicely to see family and get the car all at the same time. As for the Honda Civic...I don't miss it much.

I loved the car but the CR-V has already been such a nice vehicle for us. I love it and can't thank my grandparents enough for giving us the opportunity to purchase their car...we feel like we are in heaven now having a car that is so perfect for us!
