Car trouble!!

Well, since we've moved to the beach we've had a lot of money issues and things hitting us all at once. As most of you know, Lee's car never has been in the greatest of shape..i mean its 13 years old!! About 4 weeks ago..something happend to the car..it decided to slowly die on us. First it was the radiator or something like that..maybe I belt.. I don't know. Whatever it was..it was 300 dollars to fix!! OK so we fixed that. THEN, a WEEK later mind you, something else was wrong! (see this is why Lee needs to blog because I know NOTHING about cars!) ANYWAY, that was another 300 we had to shell out! With our other expenses..a few of them suprises..we were hit AGAIN a week later with Lee's car breaking down on the side of the interstate! It was the Sunday that I was coming home from Roanoke...Jeff was in Williamsburg and Lee was going to meet him to hang out at the farm for awhile. Here's the kicker: Thursday night (the day before I left for Roanoke) I told Lee that I REALLY wanted him to ride with me..I just had this horrible feeling that my car was going to break down..and in my head I could see myself standing on the side of 64 somewhere around or before Williamsburg. The thought was SO crystal clear in my head that I could not shake it and I BEGGED him to go with me..because I most certainly didnt want to break down on the side of a busy interstate alone!! He told me I was crazy and got mad at me and told me he wasn't going and to get over it! HMMMMMMMMMM....it's funny..now I realize that those visions I were having were for him and not me..my gut instinct was so right on..I just had a feeling. Anyway..to make a long story longer, he had the car towed back to the beach to find out the damages. YUP 1200 dollars and our precious little green saturn would be renewed to her rickety former self. I said forget it Lee (as we were told the car was worth 170 bones) Let's just get a new car! We had planned on getting a new car but wanted to wait a bit longer before we did...it seemed now was as good a time as any..we couldn't afford to keep fixing the car!!
So after MUCH debating..and much deliberation..and several test drives..Lee did not get his first choice :( THAT'S because his SECOND CHOICE (my first choice) won in the long run! Say hello to our BRAND NEW (but slightly used) 2007 Charcoal Gray Honda Accord that we deemed SHAWANDA!! She's a beauty ladies and gentlemen. With only 20,000 miles on her...in perfect condition..fully loaded (and when I say loaded I mean lots of room (we wanted to make sure we had room for our babies in the backseat!) ;) She purrs..she coos and she's all ours!! She drives like a dream.. we dubbed her Shawanda because Lee's brother has a 1992 honda (STILL KICKIN') and her name is Duwanda..so now Duwanda has a much younger and prettier little sister!..In a couple of years Lee plans on getting a truck and little Shawanda will be all mine..MUAHAHAHAHAHA :)

So anyway...that's the story of the little green Saturn that couldn't and the great big Honda that COULD make me the happiest girl in the world.. I will post pictures soon!!
