I have mentioned wanting a mini-van before and gotten lots of criticism from all you Tahoe-style vehicle fans :) It isn't a necessity, just a want now that we will have to car seats in one car. Recently my car was in the shop because the air conditioner wasn't cooling. The mechanic (whom we really like and respect) said it just needed freon. Recently, I also decided to trade vehicles with Ryan because it is easier for me to get Ben in and out of the truck and the truck stays much cooler when sitting in the sun in our driveway.
Still following? Today, Ryan was out in my car and the air went out completely. Lovely! So now the car isn't even an option for me and Ben because it is just entirely too hot right now to put my little baby back there in the heat.
The car isn't worth what it would cost to replace the air conditioning so, now comes the conversation about Ryan just living with a car with no air conditioning or trying to buy a new (to us) mini-van.
Our request of you is to pray that we know what is the right choice for us, how to use our money wisely. We have been given some generous savings bonds since we were young children and have been smart with our savings, but we are about to add a second child to the mix so we have to think about that too. Also, if you know anyone that has a used mini-van in good condition that they would be wiling to donate (tax deductible) or sell to us at a reasonable price, please pass that along to us. We would be willing to pick it up!
