So this past week has been full of car dealers, making phone calls, driving out to the middle of no where, test driving, pulling out cash, cashing checks, making more phone calls..... and we have one car out of it so far!!! Brian found a 2002 Honda Accord with 70,000mi for a REALLY good price, I mean REALLY good. It's a 2 door, so now we HAVE to get another car for me, because my van that we have right now will not make it to San Diego next week. I'm looking at a few used Nissan Quests and Dodge Caravans, but no luck yet. I test drove a beautiful van last night, but the price was too high. I know we will find something good, I just HATE looking for it!!! It's even harder trying to test drive with the boys, LOL! It's actually pretty amusing to see us at the dealer. I wonder what people must think of us.
Oh so the other issue is that the checks from Progressive have not cleared our bank and won't be released until next Friday! (We're supposed to leave for San Diego on Thursday) and we need the cash to pay for Brian's car, and to put down on mine! AAAHHHHH! Brian is so frustrated with everything right now, I'm just a tad stressed out, but excited too. I can't wait to write my next post about my new van! Well, until then, I'm going to continue running around like a chicken with my head cut off!

Oh my goodness, that is crazy! Exciting and stressful at the same time:) Maybe you can borrow someone's car/van for your trip, or just rent one and then buy something when you get home and the check cleared?! Good luck.
I'm so glad you guys were able to find Brian a car...I too HATE car shopping...and it's a million times harder with kiddo's! I'd totally watch your boys for you if we were still there!! I love Chelsey's idea of renting a car, such a good idea!! Good luck with everything! :D
