Vroom Vroom!

Well, we're still here in Utah. Our Jeep broke down AGAIN, so we decided this was the last straw. We've spent about $2500 on it in just the last three months, so we figured it was time to buy a car we could rely on. We were very blessed. I put the Jeep up on KSL and within an HOUR, I had about nine people calling about it. The first guy that called ended up buying it. The first place we went we found the perfect car, but we went this morning and looked at another lot just to see what else was out there. We made our decision today and here it is! I never thought I'd be a "wagon" kind of girl, but I really think this car is cute. It has plenty of space in the back and its in great condition. We got a wonderful deal on it. It'll be so nice to have a car that doesn't cost an arm and a leg in repairs every other month and gas. Yay!
A big fat thanks to Curtis for using his day off to help us out.

Looks like a great car! We got a new car last year, and it's been great to pay less for gas (and nothing on repairs so far!). I hope this car is as trouble-free as ours has been!

Congrats Johnson Family! I am still trying to comfort Curtis over the loss of this car, he wanted it so bad! Dork!

You guys were truly being watched over with all the things that went on with this adventure.

I just wish it had taken an extra week or two so we could enjoy you all a little bit more!

P.S. Tell Tom that I will hire his "guns" to be my security system any day! :)

Sweet ride. Now come to my place and we can go mudding just to get to my house (you should see my minivan) and make it look super cool. Just kidding. VW's are pretty cool. Sorry about the death of your jeep.
