New addition...not that
On our 7 month anniversary, my husband and I found out that we're adding a new addition to our family. The women in the family say it's a girl. My husband would like to think it's a boy but we all know that truth. It's a Kia! We got a new car and it truly shown our personalities with this new item. He was excited and nervous and proud. I was excited, nervous, proud but worried. I was worried about money. How much would it be? Banks and loans and money that isn't mine make me cringe. But....like a house, it was needed. My husband picked it out. He said "We need to find a family oriented car. When that time comes, we will be ready....at least with the car." He is right. I agreed with him 100%. It was crazy because when we were talking to the sales man, I had my game/man face on. I didn't care about the bells and whistles--tell me the cost. The salesman kept talking about head room and the size for baby seats. My husband kept talking about the size for baby seats and all the space in the back for football, basketball, school books and dance class bags. It's a beautiful thing that he was seeing all of that stuff. I wasn't at first because they didn't say how much it was. All I wanted to know was can we afford it? We talked, slept on it, went in the next day, and told us the price. I've never had a car payment (always paid in cash) so any size was too high for me. But we agreed, signed the papers and now have a family car. This past Saturday, I was leaving my mother's house and listening to This is the Life by Wendy & Lisa. I absolutely love that song. It's a soul speaking song. So I'm listening to this song, it's getting dark and for some reason I glance up at the rear view mirror and I could see our son and daughter passed out from a long day with Mom. I smiled. I could see it at that moment. The future is getting closer. Closer than you think. Happy marriage :)
