Getting New Cars

After a few days in Peoria with Kevin to start sorting out our apartment and do some more house hunting I was getting anxious to finally get my own wheels. Since the only thing we really had sorted out was our cars coming back I was happy to finally have something to get excited about. Kevin actually picked this out for me but the Chevy Equinox was our choice for our family vehicle....not quite a full sized SUV but definitely a lot bigger than my VW Passat. We were both quite keen to the mocha brown color and I can tell you that we had a tough time finding this little guy. My mom is a salesperson at the local dealership in my home town so she worked really hard to track down what we wanted and get us a pretty sweet deal. I have to say that I am cursed when it comes to getting new vehicles as each time I got brand new company cars, I ended up leaving that position after 3 months of getting the car, so in turn lost the new car. Hopefully I won't have the same luck with this guy.

I think it's a fun little car as it looks like a brown rugged sneaker with chrome!!! It has a camera in the back so I can see what's behind me in a picture on my rear view mirror and I can hook my iPod inside and the rear tailgate lifts on its own with a touch of a button....I was just excited to finally have a car with cruise control again.

I think I'm really going to like this thing but it's just getting used to a whole new life...all new things...all new places with some familiar faces. Right now, I am honestly feeling like I would trade this thing back if I could just get back to England to normal life...I know that's probably bad to say, but I really wish we had a home sorted and that's been really tough on me.
