Swagger Wagon
With the mini mahls on the way, Teressa and I have begun to think about getting a second vehicle. To date, we have survived our entire marriage owning only one vehicle at a time. Below is a brief summary:
1998 Honda Civic DX (Green, 2-door): Totaled when I rear-ended somebody after hitting ice
2000 Toyota Camry CE (Blue/Green, 4-door): Sold to my sister and brother-in-law
2002 Honda Accord LX (Buckeye Silver, 4 door): Current
One reason we have gotten by with one car is that we've always worked at the same place. However, with the mini mahls on their way, Teressa will change companies, moving from Trinity International University to Mahl Family Inc. In addition, I know that twins also means double everything. Double the pack 'n plays, double the strollers, double the diaper bags, double the...(insert necessary item)...It appears a second vehicle will be inevitable. Not only that, it appears a BIGGER vehicle may be inevitable.
Enter the Minivan. I said I would never consider one, but I don't think there is a better option. Plus, the commercial below makes the minivan (Swagger Wagon) seem cool, right?
seriously! a van is the ONLY option! We bought one & love it. We got a 2005 Honda Odyssey... if it makes you feel ANY better, Josh is 24 & I'm 22... & yes, we're already driving a mini van. Feeling SO cool. But in all seriousness, the functionality of a mini-van is incomparable.
hope you guys are well! can't wait to meet those little peanuts :]
haha you and Teressa are going to be WAY cooler than that couple in the video. But having a Swagger Wagon definitely wouldn't hurt :)
