Sweet New Ride

As many of you well know, our beloved Subaru Legacy has decided it has had enough. Two days before Ben left for Pittsburgh, it died. While he was away, we had a friend check it out to see if it could be resurrected. During Ben's trip, he called me with some exciting news: he was getting a big raise, and the pay would be retroactive to October! It was such a blessing for us, and the timing confirmed to us that we needed to get a new vehicle.

Our friend was able to fix the car (a simple transmission flush did the job) so we could use it as a trade-in. After much online searching, we decided on the car for us. A 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca! We have loved having a Subaru, and we have always drooled over the Tribeca, but never thought we could afford one. We are so happy to have a new, dependable vehicle.

I am so extremely grateful for the financial blessings we received to help us out, and the timing, needless to say, was perfect. I am also so grateful for a husband who gets up every day at 5:00 a.m. to commute to work so he can provide for our family. Thanks Ben, for my great new car!

Take a look:

This car has an in-dash computer system with touch screen navigation. It also will play movies on it when the car is parked, and the engine is off.

Here is Christopher enjoying my favorite part of the car-the DVD player! It also has wireless headphones and a remote. The kids get in the car and request movies. They don't yell, hit, or fight with each other any more, which makes driving so much nicer for me!

This car is 7 passenger, so we can flip up the back row seats when we need to toss a few more kids along for the ride. Christopher and B love the car as much as I do.

We were very happy to find that we can still fit both cars in the garage, with no problem!
