"Aussie" the Outback has been my car since college. My parents gave it to me and J. as a wedding gift and that car has come with us to Connecticut, California, and all the various cities in which we've resided here in Arizona. It has been a wonderful car. Back in the day it transported me and my roommates on all sorts of fun adventures while at BYU. It got me safely to and from work during Connecticut's Nor'easter storms. It brought our babies home from the hospital.
Yesiree, Aussie has been a great car. But now that we have three kids, three carseats, and carpool with more neighbors than Aussie has seatbelts for, the time has come to say goodbye to Aussie the Outback. May she find her way to another good family who will depend on her the way we have.
Hello Mini-Van!!
If you had asked me 10 years ago how I felt about the eventually of getting a minivan, I probably would have been less than enthusiastic. My, oh my how time changes things! We are now the proud owners of a mini-van. Yep, you read that right: proud and ecstatic. We have finally thrown off any and all pretenses of trying to be cool and have come to fully embrace our status as Mormon-American-Suburbanites. Little 2005 Toyota Sienna with your two automatic sliding doors, dual passenger temperature control guages, and moon-roof that my kids love sticking their heads out of: Welcome to the Taylor Family!!

Hooray! I can't believe you lasted so long sans minivan and with three kiddos. Minivans are wonderful, life-changing inventions. We LOVE ours. I hope you love yours too. Farewell, Aussie. You were a good car. We've had our Civic for 10 years also, but hope we don't have to get rid of it for another 5 or so.
