xmas update plus more exciting news
Apr. 23rd, 2011 09:57 amYeah, it's the final week of April and I still have a few decorations to take down and many, many boxes of decorations to move to the storage shed. I hope I can get them moved BEFORE May 1st, but I won't hold my breath.
In other news, we bought a new van this week. Well, it's part new and part used. The 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT is used (10,000 miles on it), but the wheelchair conversion is new. So I'm sort of driving a hybrid? Very excited about it even if it did cost a crazy amount of money. I wrote the biggest check ever - bigger by a few thousand than our down payment on the house. We're going to remove the wheelchair lock-down device from the old van and install it in the new one - that saves about $2000. After all the paper work and title stuff goes in, then stonebender needs to go there so they can measure the placement of the lock-down.
Sitting next to all the xmas boxes in the front room is the passenger seat from the old van. Current decor is eclectic junkyard chic!
