I posted a picture on Facebook today with the caption “Off to do something unconventional.” I thought about it later on, and wondered if I had the definition right. Its definitely not unheard of for me to misuse words, so I looked it up, and sure enough, “unconventional” is defined as “not based on or conforming to what is generally done or believed.” Honestly, the definition was even better than I had hoped.
So, this unconventional thing that we did…
We bought ourselves a new van. A twelve passenger van.
“Why the huge van, Hailey? Are you guys pregnant??”
No, we are not pregnant, but in planning for our family, we would sure like to be pregnant down the road, and have more kids in the future. We have been toying with the idea recently, as our minivan is pretty loaded down with the six of us, Just think about our road trips to Winnipeg. We can make it work, but it is FULL, and needs to be packed incredibly meticulously. It CAN be done, but we know a bigger vehicle would be SO much nicer. We were in absolutely no rush, and just keeping our eyes open. And then out of nowhere, here it was. Well, not out of nowhere. Out of Driving Force…
And now its HERE! Does anyone else think its hilarious how much space it takes up in our garage? Honestly, I’m SO happy it fits at all! But seriously, look how tall it is in comparison to the garage door! We definitely couldn’t cut it any closer! Goodbye, underground parking, certain hotel parking, drive-thrus, etc. We sacrifice you for the comfort of a more spacious vehicle. And we are THRILLED with the outcome!
Dekker commented earlier this evening, “There are so many seats! Thats good for more people. Babies, and then bigger kids, after they’re babies. I think…seven kids.”
Lol! Noted. Thanks for the input.
It was an unexpectedly fun day!
