Out With The Old, In With The New

As we celebrated the completion of 2012 and welcomed 2013, we decided to do it with style. 

Say hello to the newest member of our family.  We are now the proud owners of a 2007 Ford Freestyle.  We are so glad to have it.  Buying a new car is always a complicated process, but being in a wheelchair seems to make it even harder.  Not only did we need to find a car that would be big enough to fit our growing family, but we had to make sure it wasn't too high for me to get in and out of comfortably.  This car is the perfect solution.  It's called a crossover vehicle, so it's about as low as a station wagon but it seats 6, which means that it will still work for our family if we have another child after this one.

Of course, it wouldn't be fitting if we didn't mention this wonderful car.

Our trusty Chevy Tracker.  Bill and I bought this about a month after our marriage, and it's been with us ever since.  It's seen us through 2 children, 3 pregnancies, a cross-country move, several trips back West, temple trips, and many other wonderful memories.  We were all very sad to have to say goodbye, but we hope that its new owner will be as happy as we were, and we are looking forward to making new memories with our new car.
