The Marshmallow
Introducing our new wheels...drum roll...its the marshmallow! Carrie adequately named our car and I love the description! It was a bit of an ordeal getting it as Sean was a suspected terrorist for a week and apparently, they cannot buy cars. But, alas, we cleared it all up and picked up our car last Friday. It is a 2009 Nissan Versa Hatchback with only 4,000 miles on it! It is uber white as you can see with a tan interior (good for yellow lab hair!). It is automatic transmission and has the power package with power windows, locks, cruise control, etc. It is actually more than we need, but it was too good a deal to pass up. Finn and I have been enjoying our new freedom while Sean is at work. We have been a one car family for almost 2 years now and while I don't want to impact the environment more than needed, I must say it is nice to have a second vehicle. Finn started swim lessons this week and we get to go to the beach in our new ride. We couldn't have done that with one car! Further, this is much more roomy than the Saturn. Sean can sit comfortably in the passenger seat even with the carseat installed right behind it. And Lily is very comfortable in the hatch portion. Good times!

Gotta love the new car smell, enjoy!
Yea, the terrorist thing was quite silly. I was going to type out the whole story, but just thought it was too much. In a nut shell, we tried to buy the car a week previous and we were very excited to bring it home that day. We were waiting and waiting for the final paperwork when the finance guy came to us and said, "I totally believe you are who you say you are, but I can't seem to get around that your name is somehow associated with the terrorist watch list." It was super weird and there was a hold on his credit, so they couldn't do anything and we had to walk away without our car. Luckily, it was fairly easily cleared up with some phone calls. I swear we have some strange things happen to us!
