Larry sent me a text message as soon as he left for work this morning, giving me the name of the dealership, the phone number, and the dealer's email address. Umm....yea, I got the hint...lol. So I know that he thought it would be a waste of time texting me all that information, but I decided to surprise him.
I am not going to win this Jeep or truck battle with him. We will not agree on a vehicle, regardless of what we try to do...so I have decided to give in and try to get the Jeep for him by the time he got home from work today. I called, left a message on Bob's voice mail, and sent him a quick email telling him I was interested in the Jeep. Meanwhile, I called around trying to get the best interest rate I could for the loan I would have to take out. I am a member of a credit union, and I have always heard that they are the best place to get a car loan. Ironically, my bank was running a one day special tomorrow on car loans as low as 4.9%!!! So I would have to close the loan out on Saturday, but I could apply today to make sure I qualified for it. I took that information into consideration and waited on Bob to call me back.
Bob calls, we chat about what I had planned, and I told him that this was a secret and I would have to hurt him if he told Larry. I wanted to see if they would price match the 4.9% interest rate so I could do everything there today...and sure enough, they even beat it for me! I packed up Kennedy, and we drove to Winchester to buy Larry his dream Jeep. I signed all the papers and put the money down that we got for the motorcycle along with our tax rebate...and I was driving off the lot with my new vehicle.
It felt very strange driving something I said we would not get, but I wanted to make my husband happy. I will get used to the idea of having a Jeep, and it is not the end of the world because I did not get my Ford Edge. It does drive nice, but it just isn't as roomy as I would like it to be. We will put Kennedy in the middle of the Jeep, and she will fit just fine there.
So, I had my camera ready by the front window so I could see Larry's face when he pulled up. I parked the Jeep all crooked in the yard so it stuck out like a sore thumb and waited. Well, I waited, and waited....NO LARRY. So I am trying to be all cool and calm when I called to see where he was, and he told me that there was a bunch of stuff he had to do before he came home from work. MAN! Go figure, the day I do not want him to work overtime....lol. So I told him to give me a call before he came home, and he said okay. Next thing I know, 45 minutes later...he walks in the door. I TOTALLY MISSED HIS REACTION, because he didn't call. My camera was still sitting by the window, but no picture would be taken.
Kennedy was great all day. She has normal diapers, normal feedings, and she is even increasing her feeds to 3-4 oz every 3 hours. Larry and I felt her head tonight and we noticed that she no longer has overlapping on her skull. Before, she was so preemie that her skull didn't form the way it should have and was all lumpy. Not anymore, she has a nice smooth head and it has gotten big! Our little teeny baby is growing, cheeks and all! I think I might just get my chubby cheek, fat baby that I have always wanted. Time will tell.

So can we all assume that Larry was jumping for joy with a great big grin on his face? You never said what his reaction was but I can see him now bouncing around wanting to take it for a ride. LOL. Congratulations even if it isn't the vehicle you wanted I am sure you are relieved to have a safer vehicle to haul the girls around in.
