Our new vehicle

Chris and I have been so blessed to have had the opportunity to have owned 2 cars simultaneously. When we first got married, we purchased a Ford Focus. We went threw School with one vehicle and it was working for us, absolutely loved it. When i received a job invitation in Utah, Chris was still in school. We decided that this was an amazing opportunity and that i should take this job. I then packed up and moved to Utah a week later. As i was in Utah, Chris was still in Idaho, we needed another car. Chris's grandparents were generous enough to give us there old beater, a Buick Lacrosse. It barely worked, the side of the car was entirely dented, but hey! I did not care, as long as it worked i was happy. We had it for about a year but as soon as the winter hit, the problems occurred. I would be at a red light and the car would turn off. I would turn the heat or air-conditioning on while the radio was one, the entire electrical on the car would shut off. I would also be driving down the highway and the entire car would sporadically shake. THAT WAS IT!! I have had it. I was really scared because winter is just a couple months away and i did not want to die on the road in my grandma car. Chris and I talked about, with our finances and we were able to make it work. My initial plan was to wait so we can pay some debt down, but sometimes things do not work that way. We set our budget, the bank lent the money to us and we went a car shopping'. The entire experience was horrendous. Car sale people are not nice. We eventually found an amazing car salesman, who was super nice and generous that showed us a lot of cars. We eventually found our car. A FORD EDGE! We fell in love with it at first sight but we needed to make sure so we shopped some more, but we always went back to the Edge. It was in a price range and we absolutely love it!
