OUT WITH THE BLUE, IN WITH THE NEW!

After many years of faithful service ol' blue has finally been retired. She has certainly put in her 2,000 dollars worth. She has moved with us from Utah; to Idaho; briefly to Arizona; to Washington; back to Utah; and finally, to Wyoming. But, after one too many break downs; one too many frozen babies in the winter time when the heat has been on the fritz; one too many baked babies in the air conditionless summer; it is time to say goodbye.

We'll miss you ol' blue.

On a happier note, here is our new van:

Nice isn't she! 2005 Nissan Quest, 20,000 miles, almost like new. I have always wanted a classy black car, but gave up on that dream after having kids. Now, thanks to Nissan's innovative new mini-van design, my dream has come true.

Of course, the payments are not so nice. But they help us from becoming to attached to a mere material possession, since we won't actually possess it for years to come.

I am loving it, and have managed for a whole week to keep it clean.
