New Family Member

Nope, sorry, this is not to inform you of the baby yet (I wish it was!), but we actually got a new car!!! It wasn't by choice though, unfortunately Steve got in a car accident with the good ol' Mitsubishi Galant that he's had since he was in high school and it was totalled :( Luckily Steve wasn't hurt too bad, he got a bloody nose and lip when the airbag went off and the elbows of his jacket were burnt off from the airbags as well. I guess those airbags are pretty intense!
So it happened early in the morning when Steve was driving to work, at about 6 am, and it was raining pretty hard and still pitch black outside. He was going over a hill where there had just been a new median curb put in, and with the way the road curves, and with there being just one little tiny reflector beam on the curb part, AND with the rain coming down really hard, he unfortunately ran right into the median curb! :/ This curb is pretty tall though, and when the car ran on top of it, it just ripped out the whole underside of the car, made the airbags go off, which made the passenger console flip up really hard and crack the windshield.... yeah, not good. Especially because it was only worth it to us to have only liability on the car, it would've been WAY more expensive to fix it than it was worth. But fortunately we have been taught to save for a rainy day, and this was definitely a rainy day, literally! And we knew that the Mit wouldn't last us forever, so we were prepared to fork up money for this new little beauty:

We were able to find a really good deal on it through one of Steve's friends, and we are really happy with it!! Steve is loving it, and we're planning on having it for a while, so it's a good thing he likes it ;) Let's just hope there are no other medians that get in our way!!
