so yes, i have broken down and we purchased a used 2008 toyota sienna tonight. it was a sad farewell to my beautiful MDX (which i will always love and never forget) but as my mom said, "there is a season for everything, and this isn't my season." a mother of 3 +1 should have a vehicle that can handle 6 passengers and a stroller and groceries and not be an inconvenience in any way.everything went so smoothly and it really felt like it was meant to be. i'm not gonna say "i love it" but i do look forward to the many memories we will have in BIG RED and one day i'm sure i'll grow to LOVE it. with all of the features that really do cater to the family, i don't anticipate being too sad for too long. :D
the family who purchased our MDX told me to think of it as a luxury FUV (family utility vehicle) and not feel so sad that i am not a luxury SUV driver anymore. (in my head i always will be.)
and just to go on the record, I LOVE COUGAR AUTO SALES. if you are in the market for a used vehicle, go see Brock; tell him we sent you and then LOVE your purchase. they really bent over backward for us and i have such great confidence in this dealership. Brock sold us the MDX and he was the absolute first person we went to see when i sold it. they are honest and no pressure and just provide an all around great experience. i couldn't be happier about that.

sad day... but i bet the mini van is PERFECT!!!! More room and much more convienance.
btw, I LOVE your new pic! SOOO cute!
That must have been hard, but you can't beat the mom conveniences on a van! You are in the big leagues now.
Kim loves her town and country, and if the sequoia ever dies we will be in your club:)
I have a few friends "crossing over" and they love it too!!! Way to be practical...yay.
can't believe you are a mini-van Mom now LOL :) You are just way too stylish for that j/k Hope you love the new car!
That's awesome!! We are thinking about the mini van too, and I totally agree, I'm a mom, and it's the best mom car!! We've been looking at the Odysseys but my friend SWEARS the Siennas are the best. -I hear they have an 8 seater too. Does yours seat 7 or 8?
Way to buy used!! It's the best way to go! We're looking on Car Max -wish we had Cougar Auto Sales out here! Go Big Red!
I thought I would never own a minivan either.. I still don't want to but a girl in our ward made a really good point. She said if you ever want to carpool you need a big enough car that you can take other kids b/c they won't car pool with you if you can't switch off. Good point. Have fun with big red. The kids will love it..
