Helga???

Yes dear ole Helga. At first I wasn't so sure about her but now she has really started to grow on me. Who is she? My minivan!!! Right at a year ago Jeremy and I were on edge as far as what we were to do about getting a bigger vehicle. I really wanted to get an SUV however I didn't want to take on a car payment because that would mean I would have to go to work after Carleigh was born. Let me just tell you GOD is so good. I had gone over to a friend's house and on a spur of the moment trip was told that she wanted to sell her minivan. I then went into the how much, anything wrong, are you serious type of questions that I like to ask. Here's the cool GOD thing...Brea told me that it was such a blessing when they bought Helga that her family wanted to return the blessing and charge under KBB for the van. I couldn't believe it, the price they were charging we had in savings and could pay cash without having a car note!!! I'll be honest with you and did not like the thought of me driving a minivan at the age of 25 ( I know I know) but since it was something we could pay cash for I sucked up my pride and we bought the minivan. It did take Jeremy about 2 weeks before he'd drive her but now she's becoming part of the family. I can specifically remember the time that she gripped my heart the hardest. Last fall we took at trip to Gatlinburg with Jeremy's parents and on the way home she only used 1/2 tank of gas. WOW! She's a friend for life. Oh I forgot to mention where her name comes from....you see when I bought her from Brea her name was already Helga (the hooptie) and it was the one stipulation to the deal~I can't change her name. It fits her so why would I want to? Thanks Helga for just being you!!! ;0)
