an ANNOUNCEMENT

All of you guys are going to be thrilled. I, on the other hand, am still a little shocked. It's been awhile since this has happened....well, I guess not too long...it's about as long as it takes our family. Umm...well, get prepared to meet our newest addition to our family......



















































It's a blue Ford Expedition XLT. We got a superb deal on it, but it's a long story. We went to look at another Expedition, but saw this one instead. The car dealer guy told us an extremely high price, and we asked if they would take an extremely low price (the price included the taxes) and they needed to throw in a DVD player. They surprisingly took our offer. We were shocked, but didn't want to rush into things. We prayed and both felt a peace about the whole thing, and so we brought home the car. When we got home, Eric checked online and found that the exact car's asking price online was less than what we paid......about 1,000 less. So the good deal that we thought we were getting wasn't really a good deal. We felt that they lied to us, and we were both upset.
So, well this was a first for me....we took back a car the next morning. (We hadn't actually paid for the vehicle yet.) So, Eric went in and showed them the price online, and inquired why we paid more. They claimed that they didn't know about the online price (yeah, right). Anyway, we were fully prepared to return the car, and that would would be that. They didn't want to lose their sale, so let's just say that we got the car for the asking price, plus they threw in a very expensive DVD player too. We got an excellent deal. Who-heee. It's seats eight, so in the event that we actually ever have another child, then well.....we'll be set.

(Okay, so did I actually get any of you with the whole "announcement" thing?)
