Something Old, Something New, Something... Gray?

I love my car, it just sometimes doesn't like me. Last Winter when it first started getting cold, the Breeze woulnd't want to start, so we gave it a new battery. It was good all summer but winter has decided to come a little earlier and my car just straight wouldn't start and when it did start was struggling to stay on. So, Brad and I started doing some car shopping. We then sped things up just a bit when the breeze caught on to what we were doing... trying to replace it. The Breeze started shuddering and not starting at all making me very late to work, and making Brad come get me. So we finally had to say our good-byes and say hello to our new car!! On the way to pick up the new car and trade in the Breeze I called the previous driver of the Breeze so she could say her good-byes as well. Jules and I have had many many memories in that car! She was so fun with the funniest name!
Say Hello to our 2005 Dodge Durango Hemi. Brad and I wanted a little newer car, and something bigger that could someday carry children. It's so fun to drive it's my fun...dare I say it Mom...."Zippy Car"! It's fully loaded and we got a great deal because apparently people aren't buying cars!

This is the front of the car... when Brad was driving behind me it looked like a truck! Crazy!


This is the start of our road trip to montanta!!! More to come......

Your "new to you" car is so nice. I bet after the Breeze your Hemi is a real treat. Enjoy it and take good care of it until you can load it with those wonderful grandchildren you keep talking about. (Dont' worry. . I'm being patient!!)
Love ya!!

Oooh very pretty. I am so jealous that you have all that space. Yesterday I went out to lunch with my friend and we had to drive seperate cars because we simply didn't have room in either of our cars for 3 carseats. Sad. Someday. In the meantime I am happy that you have a reliable, nice car! I bet it will be way nicer to drive in the snow!
