The best thing, in my opinion, about this car is how many miles to the gallon it gets compared to what the Jeep was getting. We will save tons of money on gas, and I'm so HAPPY about that. We are buying it from a guy at Geoff's work. The color (hot lava) will take some getting used to, but we could not pass up this offer and it just kind of fell into our laps. It is a huge blessing actually and could not have come at a better time. Geoff had not mentioned to this guy that we were car searching (which we have been doing for a week now) and he just randomly said to Geoff this week, "Hey, want to buy my car?" Geoff was like, "Yes!" which the guy was not expecting at all. We have been praying that something would just come along and it did. We were very diligent and vigorous in our search this week (going to many dealerships, looking on craigslist and cars.com, etc.) and I know that Heavenly Father blessed us with this car because of our efforts. We are going to get it on Monday and I cannot wait! It'll be fun to drive a stick shift again since that is what both Geoff and I learned to drive with.

new car: hot lava
Those of you who know us know that we have been having car troubles with our Jeep Liberty for a while now. We have been wanting to sell it, but have been waiting for the best time to do it. Well.. now the transmission is about to go and it will be a $2,500 repair. This is the last straw for us, and now have found an excellent deal on this 2008 Scion XD:The best thing, in my opinion, about this car is how many miles to the gallon it gets compared to what the Jeep was getting.

I love it! What a fun color! Can't wait to see it. Getting a new car, even if it's just "new to you", is so much fun. It looks like the perfect car for the Long family. love you
