So over the past year it has continued to come up...
having 2 girls and maybe more in the future it was bound to...
My wife Monica would love to have a van. A van. Seriously! I would passionately fight against a van in previous discussions being able to logically and morally refute a van. But alas I guess it has worn on me because lately I have become more open to the idea.
Several weeks ago as we were taking our daughters and one of Emma's friends to the mall it hit me like a ton of bricks. What will happen once Caroline gets old enough and would like to bring a friend along. My first thought was to flip a coin and see who gets strapped on top...but then I decided that cleaning the bugs out of their teeth, though a good source of protein might be a little tedious task. So it hit me...We are out of space! That night back at the house after the girls were sound asleep I finally mentioned...
...wait for it..
(How I Met Your Mother joke)
that I would "consider" a van. I know. I've completely lost it. The "soccer dad" is taking over...PRAY...PRAY that I come back to the light! lol.
I will do anything I can for my family...even if it means to make life easier - getting a van.
Well it seems that reality may be closer than I think with my recent wreck. I was rear ended after visiting the chiropractor just past the school. To lighten the situation I joked with the young man and his mom that well..."My wife has said on several occasions that she would like a van. So here's our opportunity!"
Granted that is NOT the way we wanted to move from our car to a van and actually we really liked our Civic, but ultimately I am SO GRATEFUL TO GOD that no one was in the car with me and that I am actually standing today... in pain but I am standing!
So I think once all settles we are looking for a... van. Sorry it's still hard sometimes. BUT then again...
I had another idea. A guy with a van. Who becomes a motivational speaker and talks about life..
In a van down by the river! Wait... no river close (unless it rains and floods again.) I guess it's back to the drawing board.
Until next time I'll be praying and hoping for a quick recovery! thanks.
