A little stressed...

This time of year is always sooo busy for us! I love it, but sometimes I find myself stressing too. I mean, this weekend we have a big birthday party planned for Hannah on Saturday. So I need to do alot of preparation for that. With gifts and food and all that. And then we are leaving for Nashville for Thanksgiving on Sunday. So I also have to wash and pack enough clothes for a week. And pack everything you need for babies. By the way, with babies why does it always seem like we pack the whole entire house when we go out of town?? And we always need it all too!

Anyways, so I started thinking about all that needed to be done, and I find myself stressing. Because right around the corner is Christmas, and we haven't even begun to shop for that! So even more to do! But it'll be ok! I'm really excited to be going to Nashville! We are staying with Josh's sister Denise, and her husband Jacob. And I'll get to see my newest nephew, Malachi! And I think we are planning a trip to the zoo, so that'll be fun for my little ones! and it's always fun when the whole Folsom fam gets together.

So there's always alot of fun that comes with a little stress. You just have to power through, and get it all done! Which I will, I guess I just needed to vent for a minute there. :)

"The Big Wed Cah"

for those 3o Rock fans out there!

This translates to "big red car" which is what we now call the new van that we got!

I myself didn't think I would be driving a van, but it was really the only practical thing to do. We needed more room, not only for my children..but we sometimes need to haul other people too. But we also wanted something that was fuel efficient for all the trips to Thomasville. So it only made sense.

Well we came across this van, and I've always liked the Odysseys over any other. We weren't really looking for all the extra perks, just a plain van. But this one has leather seats, power sliding doors, DVD system. And we got it for an amazing price! I feel soooo blessed to have it!

Well, then I started driving it! And I absolutely LOVE it!!! It is soo incredibly smooth. And EXTREMELY convenient! I really have found myself looking for errands so I can drive it! And I don't even mind loading up the kids to take with me, because that's just as easy too! I push a button, the door opens for me, I stand without straining to buckle them in, then the door closes for me! Whoever designed this van, had a woman's needs in mind!

Mind you, I am coming from driving a 2 door car, where I literally had to get in the backseat to buckle a baby in. So, needless to say..I am very happy! Oh, and that reminds me. I was reading back on old blogs, and I just read that we sold my car at the beginning of August! That's almost 4 months without a car. Seems crazy that I went that long, but I definitely feel like God was orchestrating this vehicle to work out for us! So I'm very happy that we waited. Anyways, here's a few pictures.
