Lately, I have had things pop into my head, you can call them promptings, about ways to do things. Well, Jesse and I have been searching for a van for a while(and praying ALOT) secretly wanting a Honda or a Toyota (b/c you just can't kill them) but we would gladly settle for a Dodge b/c that is really all we could afford. Now remember, things are getting scary with Chrystler and we were not all that thrilled about that. So one morning I was sitting at the computer and something told me to look up Honda Odysseys within my price range. There were 3, one being spectacular and super cheap, the next day there was 1 the super spectacularly cheap one. I told myself it would be gone in a few days so I should probably forget about it, but no, the next day it was still there. Middle of the night I woke up and felt urged to call the dealership the very next morning and ask them some very specific questions. So I write them down and go back to sleep. The next morning I called them and they said that a couple was looking at it yesterday but the financing didn't work out so it was available. I told them we would be down there that very afternoon to look at it, and we did, and I drove it home in disbelief. We just purchased a 2004 Honda Odyssey EX-L, the super of the Honda Odysseys for $6800 (by the way it retails for $11,500) Neither Jess or I can believe that not only did we get a van, but we got the brand we wanted, one that was perfectly taken care of before us, and has the nicest leather seats you have ever placed a behind on. I feel so very blessed to have something so nice that my kids can sit back and relax in. That if my friends and family need help I can be there in an instance. That I can run all my errands during the day and have more time in the afternoon to spend with my husband and kids. That I can participate more actively in playdates and other things done during the day. I just feel lucky! Here are the pictures of my birthday present (don't worry my birthday is June 19th, Jess just got it for me early)

It's so pretty! Congrats again and happy belated birthday!! We need to get together soon :)
Happy Birthday. Sorry it is late. So glad you guys found a van. Now you just need another baby to put in it.
oh my gosh!!!! that's such an awesome deal! i wanted an odyssey soooo bad, but all i could afford was a ford escape. well, we paid $8200 for our 2003 escape! if I could have found a deal like you, i'd have a newer, better, bigger vehicle AND would have saved money!
I'm so happy for you. Cherie, you DESERVE good things because you are an amazing person.
You guys are way to sweet, and I miss every single one of you!!!!!!
