Alright, so Del and I did something completely unexpected yesterday........we bought a new CAR!!!
 |
| My new 2010 Ford Edge Limited |
We've been talking about it for awhile but it was always with the assumption we'd wait till he graduated. Then that changed to waiting till we found the right deal which turned out to be Saturday! We paid off Del's pickup on Friday (my car was paid off last year), then Saturday went to just browse and see what deals there were and drove off the lot with a new SUV!
About a month ago, we test drove an Edge Limited and also a Nissan Murano but fell in love with the Edge (sorry Ris, I know you love your Murano!). Nothing could compare to the fabulous options Ford offers! Granted, the Limited package includes all the bells and whistles anyway, but it still stood out from the others.
I just have to brag for a minute since this is the nicest and funnest car I've ever had...this car does EVERYTHING. It is all bluetooth capable, (meaning it syncs with my phone and I can make and take calls just by using my voice or 1 button on the steering wheel), I can listen to any music saved on my phone thru the car, it links to my iPod and I can tell it whatever I want it to play (e.g. "play playlist Favs" and it does), and it'll speak turn by turn directions to anywhere I need to go. That's just the start; there's so much stuff I won't even use very often (such as it telling me traffic updates, sports updates, news headlines, etc.) We've also got leather seats and panoramic sun roofs (yes roofs, one up front that slides and tilts and one over the rear seats.)

Other than all the fun technology things, it'll be so great to have a roomier car. With Del taking his truck with him this summer, I'll still be able to easily take my pup places with me! Of course, the room will come in handy as we add kids into the equation down the road.
Anyway, I'm very excited about my new toy! My husband says I owe him though haha.
Ho boy - they saw you two coming! Cars paid off, graduation around the corner, job in the waiting... slam dunk! You two didn't stand a chance.
