What? I Thought Everyone Named Their Car!

Seriously. 

I thought everyone named their vehicles – but I have found that isn’t necessarily so.

My family?  We name our cars.

The Purple Grape.

And now the newest member to come into our transportation family:

VANILLA BEAN

Photobucket

You all had great names to choose from and I liked pretty much all of them – but one stuck out to me more than all the others and that was Kristin’s suggestion, Vanilla Bean.Photobucket

She suggested Vanilla Bean in honor of my puppy Jerry Bean!Photobucket

Perfect!

He would have made this minivan his second home!  Tons of sleeping room and plenty of room to walk around leisurely on long rides.  A pug who loved car rides couldn’t ask for more than that!Photobucket

You can tell that the Green Disco is MUCH higher than Vanilla Bean.  Sigh.Photobucket

 

So, do I like the minivan? Hello!!! It’s AWESOME! I am ENJOYING my new minivan to the fullest.  It’s huge – it’s like I’m flying an airplane or something.  I always have to have Bella ‘talk louder’ because I can never hear her when she’s in the way back!  Photobucket

So, thank you, Kristin, for the name and because I’m so thankful for your suggestion, I am going to give you something!

Yes, a prize!  It pays to help me out when I’m in need of something.

I know how much you like Sarah Hart Pearsons, and you probably listen to her last CD almost as much as me, so I’ll be ordering her new CD for you!

It’s an AMAZING cd, and having had the chance to spend some time with her and her family last week – I can tell you they are amazing people too!Photobucket

So, there it is – our new minivan, Vanilla Bean!  We’ll get to see how good he does when we take him to Texas in a couple months!

Happy Tuesday!

Off to get some projects done!  Yes – I started a couple projects this weekend!

Woohoo!

Kari, I have to say, you are a beach girl at heart. You'd fit in just fine around here in your capri's and flip flops!

Very cool!! Welcome to the family, Vanilla Bean!!

Kristin said...

:D I am so glad that you liked my suggestion! That makes my day! That looks like such a nice minivan. I love the picture of you beside it! I was laughing about it being like an airplane. I can never hear what my kids are saying in my car either. Haha! Thank you so much for the CD too. I LOVE her music so much!!

Since my car is black, maybe I'll have to name it mocha frappucino or something. LOL!!!!!!!!!
