No, not the stench of an unshowered mother of 3 and no, not the smell of the bathroom that is still waiting for me to clean. The other, more pleasant smell.
It's the smell of freedom and it smells sooooooo gooooood!(insert Mel Gibson's freedom call from Braveheart here)
It has been a long time coming -4 years and 4 months to be exact- and now Nate and I have joined the ranks of multiple car owners every where. We now own not only one, but two cars... (tear).
I am a firm believer that money can't buy happiness. However, money may not be able to buy happiness, but money can buy things like cars and having a car makes me extremely happy.
Now I'm all prepared for your next question, "What kind of car did you get?". I'm so glad you asked. We got a completely modest car that we could afford on our humble budget. The 2009 hummer H3, with custom rims, chrome grill, leather seats, built in fridge, smoothie maker, pencil sharpener, seat massagers, third row seating that doubles as a porta-potty (because who wants to make unnecessary stops to the bathroom), and it can parallel park itself, Oh, and we will be riding in cost-efficient-style because this baby runs on vegetable oil and baked beans... you don't think it's too much do you?

OK, so maybe I stretched the truth just a bit. We did buy a car, but the only thing that our car has in common with the one above is that it has 4 wheels and it drives. We bought a Honda accord and part of the initiation of living in Utah is owning a Honda of some sort and having stickers like this plastered on your rear window.
I've got the Honda covered. Now I just need to work on the stickers...

Today I am totally relating with you. Ahhh!! I try to be grateful, but for about an hour I'm not and then I get ovet it. One day we too, we'll join the world of "2 car families" and the washer/dryer world too. I know, I know, neither of the things I'm entitled to and they can't bring my happiness, but they would be a nice luxury.
Oh, I meant to comment on your soon to be car sticker, you wish you had a crown!
How very nice to be part of the 2 car family world. You are stepping up in the world!!
Yay!!! Can you tell I am excited for you?
Love the sticker by the way.
So.... are you saying your pregnant with quads!?:>
Ha! That really is a utah vinyl lettering thing. Can't wait for your little clarence to arrive :)
There is no bun in the oven... I repeat, no bun in the oven. Kaleb did ask me the other day, "Mom when are going to start growing my brother?"... I told him his guess was as good as mine.
Yea! Congrats on the new car! I am wondering... do you have a BIG announcement?
Congrats! It is such a good day when you get to buy that 2nd car. I was in heaven when Cody got me my Armada. You feel so lucky, blessed, loved, alive again, did I name them all? You get the idea. I am so happy for you, thanks to that new car, you have some freedom back! Enjoy
LOVE it.
That is so exciting! We have loved every minute of our five months of having two cars. It sure is going to be painful as our original car is making some scary noises that I'll think we'll have to revert to one car again. But oh well, enjoy it while it lasts, right? We bought a Honda too - minus the stickers.
Yay for two cars! And congrats on the quintuplets!
Bahahaha! Your window sticker made me laugh out loud.
It's a good lookin' car! I know, I've seen it. Good luck with all those babies!
