Our New Family Vehicle!

First of all, the story that leads up to the new family vehicle.... a couple of months ago we were anonymously given a 1990 Subaru Legacy station wagon. It had been donated to our ward and through much prayer, our bishop said that he felt that we needed it and it would be a great blessing to us. We weren't sure how, seeing as it was beat up and old and we already had two vehicles, but we accepted. Our other two vehicles are 1997's and have lately been having troubles. We'd been wanting to get something newer that would fit the family and meet our needs for a very long time, but we couldn't see a way to get something we could afford without getting rid of both the Blazer and the Cadillac, thus leaving us with only one car. Having the Subaru made it possible for us to trade in both the Cadillac and the Blazer towards something else. We found a 2006 Jeep Commander and fell in love(well, Nate fell in love-I originally wanted something else that didn't work out, but I like the Jeep too). Nate's always liked them, so when we found one that would fit our budget, it was a no brainer. This picture isn't ours, it's one I got off the internet. But it's the same color and everything. It has a 3rd row seat that you can fold down if you need to, a sunroof in the front and moon roofs over the back. Jonah likes to sit in the 3rd row by himself.

It's in great condition and lots of fun to drive. I was hoping to get something with a bit better gas mileage, but I guess you can't have everything. Anyway, we're so very grateful for this blessing. I guess the bishop knew what he was talking about after all. It's been a long time since we had a reliable vehicle and we're planning to make it last quite a few years for us.
