Too Cool for a Minivan!

So, Darren and I have begun our quest for a new vehicle. We have no option. We have so much to prepare for and being I could be placed on bedrest at a moments notice, I don't think we could be too ahead of the game. Do you?

Darren and I are definitely on the same page. We keep saying, "I REFUSE to get a minivan!" After shopping around for a new vehicle, two weekends in a row now, we realize that our choices are far and few between. For one, Darren is only permitting me to purchase a Honda, a Toyota, or a Nissan. That leaves the following choices (in my opinion):

1. A Honda Odyssey (minivan...uhhhh)
2. A Toyota Sequoia
3. A Toyota Sienna (minivan.... grrrrrr)
4. A Nissan Quest (minivan....boohoo)
5. A Nissan Armada

As you can see, we are limited. We test drove an armanda, the new highlander, and the sienna. Darren and the toyota salesman agree the sequoia is not practical for infants/toddlers, so we didn't bother test driving it. I prefer NOT to get a Honda Odyssey because all of my mommy friends seem to go that route and I like to be different (no offense ladies). So... let's see, that leaves the Quest to test drive.

I HATE TO ADMIT IT, but after test driving the Sienna today, I realize now, it is SOOOOOO insanely practical. It looks like we might be eating our words. It has so many cool bells and whistles and it totally caters to mommies and their children.

Please pray we make the right decision based on safety and practicality, not looks!!!! I just don't want these twins to cramp my style. HA HA HA HA HA..... I'm too cool for a minivan.
