There are those moments when you are reminded just how much your life has changed.
Recently, The Bossman and I took the plunge and replaced our ten-year-old car with a mini-van. With three kids who are growing at an alarming rate, it was just getting too difficult squeezing them and their car seats into the back seat. I have sworn, for many years, that I would NEVER BE ONE OF THOSE MOMS WHO DRIVE A MINI-VAN. But now I am, and I do, and I love it, and there you go.
A couple weeks ago, as I was leaving a school function and walking to my van in the parking lot, a nearby Mom approvingly eyed my new wheels and said, with complete and total sincerity, "Nice ride!"
As I drove home, I pondered the fact that (a) I now hang out with people who are able to say "Nice ride!" about a mini-van with sincerity, and that (b) this compliment absolutely made my day. Yep, life sure changes, and so do we.
haha! I ~knew~ you would fall ;-) Happy driving!

LOL. I can so relate. Finally bought a Honda Odyssey with all the works last year, and I love it. We named it Henrietta, and I would not trade it for anything else.
