Black Beauty

Well we finally did it. We got a mini-van!!! WooHoo!!!!! Black Beauty is a 2008 Toyota Sienna. I found her on the net at a dealership about half hour away. I called and asked if the mini-vans they were showing online were still on the lot and for sale. There were 2-2008's one silver, one black and 2-2006's. For some reason the 2006's just weren't even an option for me. Anyways they said they were so Jason and I decided we better head down sooner rather than later as they were priced well. I called my sister in law to see if she could watch the kids and so couldn't so I called our cute little babysitter and she and her sister had Explorers so they couldn't so I then called my in-laws. My father in-law was a little hesitant but then said they would come. They got here and we cleaned the car up a tad and then left. Kaida really wanted to go with us and Jason explained to her that it was probably going to be a long time and really boring and not fun. (He is excellent about explaining things very thoroughly to the girls) She still wanted to come so we let her. We left about 6:45pm. We got down there and met the guy I spoke to on the phone. He went to grab the keys of the vans and came right back saying the silver one had JUST been sold. Darn it!! That was the color I was hoping for. Oh well, let's check out the black then. Chieko and I took her for a drive while Jason and Kaida stayed back. (we didn't want to deal with the carseat at this point) We came back and then the games began. They tried to give us a lower price for the Mazda and crazy high financing rate when we both had super good credit. We fought or shall I say challenged them on both and won!!! Hurray. Well the whole process took a while and by the time we got home it was 11:30 pm. Poor Kaida she was tired but ohhh was she a good girl (Chieko too!!). We got lots of compliments on both the girls and how well behaved they were. Anywhow we now have reliable comfortable transportation that holds EVERYONE!!! Hip Hip Hurray!!! I am so happy!!!!Black Beauty welcome to the family, I hope we have you around for a loooooong, looooooong time and that we have lots of fun with you!!!!
