Zoom! Zoom!

After 1 1/2 years of:
  • Justin and I having to collaborate our schedules.
  • Justin having to leave work early to pick me up.
  • A ridiculous amount of miles put on our car.
  • A lot of wasted gas money.
  • Me being embarrassed if Justin was late to pick me up and I had to wait around in the parking lot.
  • Having us both wake up at the crack of dawn, when it was only necessary that I had to.
  • Having a hubby taxi who dropped me off and picked me up from school and work.
It is all over. Because.....
I got a NEW CAR!!

Ta-Da! Say hello to the pumpkin in the background!

In an earlier post I indicated that we were going to get my car about a month ago. Due to some events and circumstances, we were unable to get it then. This past month has kind of been a roller coaster in terms of this car. After the first disappointment, I was not excited at all to get my car. Even yesterday when we were walking into the dealership, I was not excited because I didn't want to get my hopes up and have everything fall through again.

However, once they handed me the keys, all the forms were signed and I was actually able to drive off with it, I was super excited [as many of you know because I sent you a picture text of it!] This is my first very own car. I am excited that this will allow both Justin and I to save time and gas on not having him transport me to work. I am also excited that this will allow me a new kind of freedom. Since Justin's job depends on his car, I was used to just being at home and not having any means of transportation. Now, when I have days off, I will be able to go out, run errands and do things on my own!

The Lord has truly blessed us throughout this whole process. He has taught me patience and to wait until the timing is right. One blessing that came through waiting longer to get the car is that the dealership actually lowered the price to make the deal actually work! So, since we waited, we ended up getting the car for a lower price! Praise the Lord :)



Oh- by the way, it is a liquid silver Mazda 3!!
