Some of you may say, "Didn't you just BUY a car"?
Yes, we did... but a quick story:
When our beloved Subaru got totaled we only had one week to find a new car before we lost the rental car that the insurance company gave us. At the time Madelyn worked until 7 every night, so that left one hour every night to try and find a car. We ended up with the Saturn VUE, which we loved, but we both agreed when we bought it that it wasn't a long term car. Well, for a number of reasons we have upped our search for a new car the past few months. Madelyn has her dream car she wants, a charcoal Volvo XC-90. Obviously, that's a little out of a our price range, so we continued the search anyway. We looked at Honda CRVs, newer Saturn VUEs, Mazda CX-7s, etc. (while all the time searching the Internet for a great price on an XC-90)... basically, at this point, we can tell you every make and model of any car on the road. Well, all of our dedication paid off... we actually found a great deal on an XC-90.... and to top it off... it's charcoal. Not only that, but it has leather interior, a sunroof, three rows of seats (the third folds down), and a DVD player! We went in Saturday, traded in the VUE and drove away in an XC-90!
Some of you might be saying, "Did Cody and Madelyn win the lottery?" No, we didn't, it's a 2005 (older), so it's got a few miles... so, it's not brand new or anything. But a Volvo should last forever (we're hoping). The best part? Our monthly car payments remain the same! That's right, we traded in the VUE for an XC-90 and we get to pay the same amount each month. I'm so glad we never gave up! We just searched and searched for MONTHS and finally found a great deal on our dream car (it had only been on the lot for 4 days!). Anyway, here are some pictures of the new car!
Now that we own a Volvo we are officially these people:

As someone that has owned 3 Volvo's I can tell you they do last forever and are great cars. Why 3 you ask? Because I've totaled 2. Yes The Volvo. The untotalable...I've done it twice. But this is more a statement on my driving then the Volvo.
If you only had braces...
Congrats on the new car!
