Our New Ride (New to us anyway!)

We bought a car recently. This really is not blog worthy, but upon our family's request to see a picture, here it is. We got a Ford Fusion 2005.


This is exciting for us since we have been without a car for over 2 years. Walking, catching rides, and public transportation have been our mode of transportation these last few years. It was not an easy search. My one request was that I really wanted an automatic. Most cars are manual transmission here. But we found one!
The previous owner was a huge help to us. He spent the next day and a half after we bought it from him and helped Reed get all the paperwork and insurance taken care of. It was not an easy process, and Reed was told more than once at different offices that they had never had a foreigner buy a car here before. So hopefully everything is legit now!



It has been fun to drive again. The roads are a bit precarious here and traffic laws are a mere suggestion :), so it makes for some interesting driving. But it has been a huge blessing for our family and we are soooo thankful!

  1. Oh, good thing the old owner was there to help you! He really was helpful in helping you with all the messy stuff. You look like you missed driving badly. Two years is pretty long! And your kiddos love their new ride! Now you can go anywhere without worrying when the bus will actually come. :)
