New Rides!

We have been living with one car for about 6 months and at first it seemed to work just fine but lately we have been thinking we needed a second car. So Ty convinced me to let him get a old truck. He would look on KSL day and night trying to find the truck that would fit our needs. He thought he found one in Salt Lake but that trip was a failure. He even tried to convince himself he would be happy with a Ford but he couldn't. Finally, we found the perfect 1987 Dodge. Out all the places, we found in it in Mountpelier at a shady pawn shop. But once Ty saw it he fell in love and we both knew it was perfect because it already had the Wyoming Cowboy in the back window with Wyoming mud flaps. It was a perfect buy and I could see Tyson's smile from my rear view mirror the whole way home to Rock Springs. Since we got it I cant see how we made it with only once car for so long. I will say its not my favorite thing to drive because I'm scared it will shut down in the middle of the road but I'm happy with it because its a fixer-uper for him and he loves working on it. Its the perfect get a little mud on the tires truck! 
Ty and the Truck "Minny" the day we bought it!
We decided we liked car shopping so much that the next day we went and bought a new SUV. We had been thinking for awhile that we needed to replace the Buick, we simply weren't sure how long our car was going to last us and we both wanted something new. So we traded in our car for a GMC Acadia and I completely love it. It is so fun to drive and I kinda knew the moment I saw it that I really wanted it.  It might be a little big for us right now but after two days of nothing but car talk I am done car shopping for a long time. 
Love!
