So, with David’s new promotion came new paycheck as well. This is the first time that David has gotten a raise and we weren’t moving or expecting a new baby. After the last year that we have had, we decided that it was time to treat ourselves a little bit on a splurge. So, we decided to trade in our Corolla for a new family car. David and I both really liked the GMC Acadia, so that is what we started after. We researched online and looked at a ton of different cars. We finally found one we liked at Wilsonville Honda. On Wednesday, August 22nd, I headed up to Wilsonville Honda to meet David there after he got off of work. Apparently David had been looking at their inventory online and found an Acura MDX that he really liked. So, after we test drove a Honda Odyssey and a GMC Acadia, David really wanted to drive the MDX. As soon as he started driving I really liked it. Then, it was my turn to get behind the wheel… Oh, it was FUN to drive! We were pretty much sold on it right away. When I got there, I asked them to give us a price for what they would give us for each of our cars. Then maybe we would trade in whichever one was worth more. Well, we sat down to do the paperwork, and they offered us more than we thought so we decided… trade in both cars! Yes, we are CRAZY! But, we figured why not get 2 cars for the same price that we were going to pay for 1 car. So, we left Honda that night at 10:30 the new owners of an Acura MDX. We were pretty excited. The car is great. It is black exterior with black leather interior, and wood trim. It has a sun roof, navigation, and everything can be controlled by my voice. It is pretty much the nicest car I have ever owned. I am super excited.
The next day, Thursday, we had to go back to Honda to redo the loan papers to go through our Credit Union, so that evening we headed on down to Ron Tonkin Acura in Beaverton. We there, quickly fell in love with an Acura TSX, which is now David’s new car. We got a great deal on it, and David loves it. The best part if is that we can comfortably fit the four of us in it for a day trip. David’s car is pretty much a miniature (sedan) version of mine. It has all of the same features, and is black on black just like mine. We are both in love with our cars. 
They look pretty cute next to each other. Tucker says that Daddy’s car is like a race car, but he loves Mommy’s car.
