The NEW Addition To Our Little Family!

Since we've been married we've been a one car family. It has always worked out great, but then with Seth's new job and his schooling...he always has it. There's been times Nicci and I are just at home doing nothing when we could be out getting SO much accomplished...but we have no car! My mom has gotten a car seat in her car for Nicci and has been such an angel with taking us to the store, the Dr.s, the bank, and just running us to her house or wherever when we need to get out. But now we live 30 min away from Mom... :( and the whole no car thing wasn't going to fly! Soooo, my adorable sweet husband brought up the fact that he wanted to get me a car so that i could run my errands and go see my mom whenever i wanted to!! So for the past couple weeks we've been looking at cars. Ok, so... anyone that knows me knows that i'm absolutely obsessed with Jeeps. I grew up with Jeeps and i think they are the most amazing SUVs. We laugh all the time about when 'Brandi will get her Jeep' ... and the other night Seth said to me out of the blue, "Why don't we get you your Jeep??" At first i thought he was kidding! And then when i realized he was serious i embraced the idea and didn't argue with the adorable man! So, obviously, we started looking at Jeeps, and last night...ladies and gentleman....we found one!!! We found a beautiful Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited! Can i just say how very much i love my husband. Looking at cars has never been so much fun. He made this experience so special for me AND he even special ordered my favorite Las Vegas licence plate personalized to say "4MYGL" !! I was so excited last night i could hardly sleep. He was so cute this morning; he was so excited about our new Jeep he took it to work today! We are SO excited to finally have a second car! I am no longer stranded at home making lists all day, i can actually go out and accomplish my lists!! When we bought our new home i kept asking my mom, "You're going to come visit me right??" And she'd respond, "Well yes Brandi, but not everyday honey!" So now i can go see HER as much as i'd LIKE!!! Mu-hahahaha! (Be prepared mom... :) Here are some pictures of our beautiful second car...the Jeep!

Seth had me sign as the "Buyer" and he signed as "Co-buyer"...it was so fun!!
Here she is!!


I'm talking to my mom on the phone telling her the exciting news!
I have the sweetest husband in the entire world! (but hey, i'm a little bias :)
The jeep even has Navigation and a DVD player so Nics can watch 'Dora' when we go for rides!!
The most important part...Nicci approves!!

Congrats. When I first had hudson kyle had just sold his truck and we were in between so he had to take my car to work and I was stuck home. Thanks so my sweet mom and sister I got out a bit, but I was so happy when he finally got his tacoma. Its no fun being home all day. I love the jeep though. I have never been into them much but it is awesome looking. I can already tell you are going to have tons of fun driving it around. lol. I would.

I love it we got a black SUV too! We're a one car family - isn't it fun to appreciate a 2nd car instead of just having one right off the bat?
I'm anxious to see if you guys actually make it to Dallas! Ashton has his surgery on April 1st. so those 2 weeks after I would imagine we're going to be out of comission...
But I'd LOVE for us all to be able to hang out.

How exciting! We used to be a two car family, but Lewis' truck was actually one that his mom got him in high school. When her own car stopped working, we gave her back the truck so she would have something to drive. Now, we're experiencing the one car life, and are getting used to it. A couple days a week I'll wake up early and take him to work so I can have the car when I know I have things to do. Congratulations on your nice new car and house! You know, the a couple of your recent blog subjects have gotten me excited, like you're about to announce that you're pregnant! Maybe more good news will just keep on coming!!

Hey I love your car! It is so pretty! I have never really cared about cars in general, but I actually really like this car and I want...give it to me! No, I'm joking, we can share it when we move in together! You guys are so good to us!

Sammy said...

I've got to admit I keep thinking what Lindsay is thinking... like your next new addition will be that your pregnant! Are we allowed to say that?

Brandi Lyn said...

Haha! You guys are great. Yes you are allowed to say that! Am i allowed to wish that?!! :)
