My "BMW" ....Big Mormon Wagon second generation





Yes, we purchased another car...the woody station wagon. A classic surfer car...and accommodating to a YM/YW leadership household. It seats NINE people. The seat in the back pops up, and the car has only 80k miles on it! A little old lady kept it in her garage and never really drove it much...I know...the story is actually true!:) This car reminds me of my childhood and Todd said it reminds him of his. His family used to have a station wagon they called BMW, so we thought it would only be appropriate to name this in memory of their Brown wagon... The next picture is the air freshener I found from the Transformers movie....I thought it was appropriate since I am a Beehive adviser and live an hour away from the beach...the next picture is Brett helping Todd take care of our "fleet." He is very intense and wet...glad it was 85 yesterday..sigh. Vanessa and Adrien are not very happy about this purchase. (I wonder if that is because Vanessa thinks she will be stuck driving the car). Brett can't wait to ride in the very back...Todd just wants the guy to pick up the Volvo....I am happy that we have a paid off car! I am thinking of getting a "Dukes of Hazzard" horn installed....

LOVE the new wheels. It brings back fond memories of our kids growing up and filling every seat in our station wagon!! I guess I was wrong in thinking you had to have a VAN to be in YM/YW.....I could have kept our wagon!! Love you.

Congrats on the car!!! You will love having the space! Tell Vanessa that she needs to embrace it and have fun with it. =) Wish I could see you all! Love-Liz
