I said I would never...

When I was young and knew it all, there were so many things I said I would never do.  I said I would never have a dog...I did.  I said I would never give in to a temper tantrum my child was having in public...I have.  I said I would never live in the suburbs...I do.  The most recent, and biggest revert from my "I would never's," I said I would never drive a minivan...and much to Emily Miller's dismay and Gina and Emily Harriman's delight...I do!! A Toyota Sienna it is for me, will post picts tomorrow.

Haha Gina's so funny! I'm not too embarrassed to have a sister that drives a van...I'll have to see it before I really decide! J/K!
I'm so excited for y'all! Maybe Hud will want to ride in Mama's car now!

I'm with Em...as much as my little man begs for one we will never, ever have one! Just can't do it, but I'll still have you as a sweet friend Elizabeth :)

This post is so funny! I was the same way.However, now I have a dog and drive a minivan. Isn't it interesting how things change with little kiddos.

Let me just say... I think mini vans are great for moms. I never said that they were an abomination or anything of the sort.
I just don't think that I will be making that change. Much to Sadie Parkers chagrin.
All of my closest friends drive them, and SP looks forward to the days that she can ride in them.
But as for me and my house, we will drive a volvo wagon.
love you, and love that you got your bus.

Haha! Way to go on joining the mini van club! I pride myself in being the youngest person to ever CHOOSE to have a mini van (we got ours last year and I didn't know many 22 year olds dying for a minivan like I was =)I love it! It's way more convenient and much more cost effective than a big SUV for toting kids and all their stuff around! I'm not afraid to admit I love my minivan!! (And I also said I would never give into a fit and public, and I am guilty of that as well=)
