I really thought I was going get some serious posting in today, as I have lots of catching up to do and many pictures to show you, but I spent the majority of my day at the Honda dealership!
After getting into my car Friday afternoon and having my passenger side window down because the motor on the window broke again (2nd time within a year, the list could seriously go on and on with my Element, I got a lemon - actually nothing started going wrong with it until this year, but when it rained it poured with that thing...) I had enough and called Chad in tears.
After much discussing and debating about car payments and me not wanting to spend a lot of money on a new vehicle, but still wanting it to have the cool factor and be brand new, I decided on the Honda Fit! This was a gut wrenching decision for me, my Element has been paid off for over a year or so and I just didn't want a car payment, but I thought that I would have to keep putting money into it, as it seemed to be at the service department every other week lately. Also, my parents hate the car and tried to cut me a deal to NOT but the Fit, as it is smaller and they don't think that it is safe enough for my kids. I am a parent pleaser, still at almost 30 years old, I want their approval, it is true. This is one thing that I did that without their blessing and I feel guilty. But, I want you to know mom and dad, the car is safe! It has a 5 star crash rating and gets way better gas mileage than the Element. I think I remember you telling me how much you hated the Element too when we bought it, so I am hoping that you will come around when you see it and have to ride in it! No, it is not a Prius, which they would have preferred that I bought, but I LOVE IT and am super excited about it!
I really think that it looks like a Jenni car, perfect for me!

Love the new car! I have a friend who has one and raves about hers all the time!!!
I've never even seen one of those?- very cute & totally looks like you! I'm a fan of the black, even if you'll have to visit the car wash more often...it's worth it! Don't let my hubby near your new ride- he may take your rims OFF!? hee hee
(P.S.- you should have told me about the car, I would've hooked you up through my Uncle's Dealership?)
Love your new Jenni car!! xo
I forgot to tell you this yesterday, but I seriously thought from the title, "Newest Memeber of the Roseland Family", that you were annoucing a new pet (dog)-HA!
Anyways, I think the car is super cute. You were definitely in need of a new one. BYE BYE Element!
So I went by Wigwam today and for some reason decided to look for your car... No where! Then I did remember seeing this car and hey got on here and saw this! :) Maybe now I won't have to sit on the floor anymore or in on of the car seats! Haha.
