Our current van is a relic from our pre-kid days. It’s been through a lot, and the dents and scratches are a testimony to its glorious journey.
Now, with three growing kids, we needed something bigger, safer, and more reliable. And we were so close to reaching our goal.
Three years of cutting corners, skipping vacations, and saying “next time” to every little indulgence. We had finally saved up enough for a solid down payment on a new vehicle.
At that point, I thought David and I were on the same page. Little did I know he had other ideas. Ideas that would turn my world upside down.
One Friday evening, after a long day of wrangling the kids, I finally got them tucked into bed. The house was quiet, and I sank into the couch with a sigh, savoring the rare stillness.
