Yup, I broke the two hundred thousand mile mark. Ben's little Civic has 5,000 miles more than mine does. Yikes! Good thing I don't have any pride or style because this is the little beauty I drive around in.....
But, in all actuality, I don't really care about driving a 10 year old van with 200,000 miles on it. I don't even think about it really. We're just grateful to have it. It allows me to stay at home with my kids. There are chaotic moments in the day when I feel otherwise but there really is no other place I'd rather be. So, we drive old cars and skip out on fancy vacations and own a moderate sized home. Those things allow me to stay home. It's a no brainer trade off to me.
But have no fear!! I won't be driving this car too much longer. My brother-in-law Kurt has a DIY blog where he did a post about HGTV's Dream Home Giveaway and so I've been entering the contest everyday. I'm pretty convinced we're going to win and that house comes with a brand new SUV.
I believe in miracles. Do you?

Now you have some competition! I'm totally entering. If I win, I'll let you come visit, okay? ;)
Good luck with that! It does sound fun.
