New Ride

 Because Ashlin's previous car caught fire (earlier post)... we were needing to get another car. We've been sharing cars for the last multiple months. That got old, since she has 2 jobs she works at most days.

But she didn't realize we were shopping for one while she was at girls camp! I was so excited for her to get home and surprise her. This is me picking them up from the church after 4 days of camp...

 YAY! No more car sharing!

Sophie ruined the surprise though. ha ha.

Bruce took the little kids to Wendy's for lunch in Ashlin's car... while I got the girls from the church. We were going to have him drive out front after they were home, so she could come out front and we could surprise her with it. But when she got home, she immediately wanted to shower (understandably). So the kids got home, parked the car out front, and we sat around waiting for Ashlin to get out of the shower. They were all so excited, planning on how we were going to get her to look out front. It was all kinds of exciting suspense! She had showered upstairs because the basement shower was taken by Emma. Then as soon as the bathroom door opened, a dripping wet, wrapped in a towel Ashlin stepped out to Sophie walking by... who said nonchalantly, "We got you a new car. Did you see it?"

ha ha. So much for the big surprise. 

Then we had to wait for her to go get dressed. 

She was obviously still SO excited. She was jumping up and down yelling, "Are you serious... no, are you serious??" She loved it. It's a cute little car. But really we bought it because it was the best deal we found for the lowest miles.

HAPPY DAY FOR ASHLIN!
