The Mom Mobile

Since adding kiddo Number 3 almost 1 year ago, it has been apparent that we were eventually going to need a bigger vehichle. We had been looking at everything from suv's to minivans. I have never loved the idea of a minivan, but I was willing to give one a try. It was kinda frustrating trying to find the best compromise between seating, safety, fuel economy, and price.

After much looking and comparing online I had found the SUV I wanted, but the price was still a little steep. I have no doubt that God knows what we need before we even ask or think it, and His will is to bless those who love Him.

This past weekend we were over in Cortez to run some errands, when we passed a dealership that happened to have one of the SUV's on the lot. So we stopped to take a look at one up close. The marked price was a lot lower that anything we had seen in our looking. We talked to the dealer (Who is an long time family friend) to see if there was anything wrong with it etc.

We took it out for a little drive and discussed looking into getting it. After coming up with a situation that we knew would not but us in a financial bind (those are not fun) we went back and told the dealer that we were interested. Before even starting any paperwork, he looked at my husband and told him that for us he would automatically take $1500 off the price, This was such an amazing blessing! This price for this vehicle was unheard of.

Needless to say we were able to get it and not feel a crunch in our finances at all. God is so great, and He cares about what we need and want. Here is a pic of the new Mom Mobile. Yes this is it's new name. It is a 2000 Ford Excursion. It seats 8 people, has a good safety rating, gets decent fuel economy, and decent miles for the year also.. And just for added bonus it has all leather heated seats with several little extra other features. Thank you Jesus!
