i have to give him a huge amount of credit, he did something very surprising to me. not only did he make up his mind about something major that we had been discussing for a while (which was getting a minivan and trading in one or both of the cars to do that) but he actually did what he decided to do also. we went to a kia dealership near us yesterday, to see what they would offer us to trade both of our cars in, and get one minivan. therefore of course bringing us from two cars to one car which would have stunk. so we went to the dealership, looking at the kia sedona (which is kia's minivan) and we started talking to them about trading the blue saturn (which was mike's) in and getting the minivan. we were looking at 2006 sedonas, there were about 6 of them on the lot, and they all had about 23,000 miles on them, or around that. and the salesperson told us that we would have the balance of what was left on the warrantys, which is 60,000 miles or 5 years, so us having whats left, would give us 3 years or 37,000 miles on it, which is warranty that made me happy, that is a bumper to bumper warranty. and considering that it is a pre-owned vehicle that is good. so anyway, about 5 hours later, we ended up making a deal with kia to trade the blue saturn in (therefor keeping the silver one that was mine, which my boyfriend will now be driving, and i will be driving the minivan) and they did a good deal for us. they paid of the loan on the blue saturn, and then some, and i felt that they gave us a good price on the sedona. my boyfriend was paying 300 a month before on the saturn, and this only made it go up to 337 a month, which i didnt think was bad at all. especially considering that the other dealership that we had went to previously had wasted our time completely, telling us that we were owing to much on the saturns to do it. so of course, i am very happy that went to kia, and they were really willing to work with us, which felt very good. so i am now a minivan driving mommy again, it has been probably about three years since i have been one. i like it, the amount of room and space in there is great, and the fact that the third row seats fold down is awesome. it was really what we needed. i know that he did it for me, to make things easier for me, and i have to say that it changed the way that i have been acting towards him more. because even though it is really easy for me to get frustrated with him, and annoyed with him, all of the things that he has done for us, the kids, me, you get the idea, he didnt have to do, and yet he has. and he works while i stay at home. ever since yesterday, when i am starting to get frustrated or annoyed with him, i am trying to catch myself, because everyone does have their issues, and their things that they do that bother you, but he has a huge amount of good points too. he said that this minivan was my valentines day present, i made a comment to him about not getting off that easy though, and that a little something would still be appreciated, or something like that, i dont know if he is actually going to get me anything or do anything, but even if he doesnt, that is going to be okay with me too. because him doing this was a huge thing.
of course he had to say something funny too, or agree with something i was saying, i forget which one that it was. but something that i told him, and was going to stick too, was that being that he wants another child after this one, that i wasnt going to give him another child after this one, unless their was a minivan or large suv (one that seats at least 7) in my driveway first, before i even thought of conceiving another child after this one. so while we were getting the minivan, and finalizing everything, i said to him now dont think that just because i have the van now means that as soon as i have this one that i am going to get pregnant again immediately. and i also said dont make any comments while i am in labor either, and he was like oh darn i cant. i was like no, and i know that you would have too. and he completely agreed with me, because that is the sort of thing that he would have said too. to be honest, i always said that i wanted three kids, and that was it. after i had frankie, i always said that i wanted another one, and of course i am so happy that i am expecting #3 now. but as for having another one after this one, that would give me four kids. wow. that is a lot of kids. and you never know, if something happened where me and my boyfriend didnt work out, i wonder if he would be there for the kids, and help support them, and do what was right. or if it would be another thing like with frankies dad. i mean if he didnt support the kids, i would of course take care of them, and do what i had to do for them, the same way that i do kayla and frankie. and i wouldnt regret a minute of any of it. because if the father wants to be that way, that is their decision. and i would still love and take care of my kids, and never want to change anything or regret anything. it does make you wonder though.
