End of the Expe

On Monday afternoon Aaron's car decided that it could go no further. For over ten years the poor Expedition tirelessly drove nearly 200,000 miles. The past two years that sweet ol' hunk a love groaned and lurched everywhere it went, but it never failed to get us to our destination. But on Monday it decided that enough was enough.


We've known that the Expe was on its last legs for a long time now, but we kept hoping that it would make it to September. Now that I think about it, I have no idea why we chose September...it just sounded like a good month for Aaron to find a new car. But, alas July will be new car month for the Johnson family. Now some of you may be thinking, "Wait, didn't Rachael just get a new car back in January?" And the answer is yes...I did. We are leasing my sweet little Acura and its wonderful.


For the last 4 days Aaron and I have been sharing her and it hasn't been working out too well. See our house is way out in the boonies on one end of Waco, our church is out in the boonies on the other end, and my work is in a random church sorta near Hillcrest Hospital. For Aaron to drop me off at work and then head out to church it takes him nearly an hour. And with Chris having baseball practice every night things have been way to hectic. So my crazy husband is about to get a new (used) car. And what does he want......

Yeah baby - A 2003 Cadillac CTS. Now I'm still not a huge fan of these cars. I'd really like for my man to drive a truck, but Aaron is dead set on his CTS. He's been driving all over Waco, scouring the Internet, and checking out car magazines like crazy. He's found a couple within our price range with low miles, so come Monday we might be proud owners of a new caddy!

May I suggest a small SUV? If ya'll plan to have kids in the not so distant future and with all of your animals ...I think this would be a wise choice with the prices so low now that the gas is ridiculous. I am hoping that gas prices will go down and plateau off. Anyway...Forrest is going to Dallas today to get a 2002 Tahoe to trade in our Camry and all expenses paid $8500...are you kidding me? What a deal! Look into is sister :) ejw

OMG!!! Gerald has the exact same car!!!! And he does the exact same thing!! He searches the internet looking for cool stuff about the car and then drives it around town like he's king of the road. I personally like my man to drive a truck as well, but trust me, you'll learn to love the Caddy! :)
