I have 3 car seats crammed into the backseat of my Jeep and I seriously wish I had a minivan! Actually, I love my Jeep but I wouldn't mind some more room. I think everyone swears they'll never have a minivan. But they sure are great!!
congrats for sure. I am envious of your said minivan because I know they are the best with kids - so much room! We have an SUV but I am wanting the minivan soon! LOVE the color!!!
woot woo! Your's looks a lot nicer than mine! We weren't sure if ours was going to make it to Oregon. We had to take it to a mechanic (sp?) in Idaho...but we made it, and it's still running.
yay for soccer and mini vans. i'm counting down the days until i have my very own...not really, but you know what i mean. i'm totally stoked for you dude! enjoy it while the kids are young and not looking the other way when you pull up in that sweet ride to pick them up. love ya buddy
I said the same thing.. but 5 years ago we became an official van family. Although I wish I had a nice SUV... it's so much more practical, efficient & way cheaper to own a van. Isn't crazy how fast you fall in love with something you never ever wanted?!

We would like to announce the advancement of one Larissa Zitzman to the rank of official soccer mom. Her move up the ladder of motherhood was assisted by the purchase of a shiny new minivan...and nothing to do with the playing of said sport soccer by one or more child (which apparently does not automatically advance your rank).
When asked about her feelings she could be found to say, "I once swore I would never own a mini van and a friend told me I would someday change my mind and on the day I got one it would be the happiest day of my life...I have changed my mind...and it truly was the happiest day of my life!"

I'm glad you could finally put the big girl panties on and take the next big step to mormonhood. Way to go Z's!
