new car

Aaron and I are going to get a new (used) car. I am a nanny now and feel like we need a bigger and more reliable car then the BMW. I have fallen in love with the Mazada Protege5. They are a wagon and I read consumer reviews and stuff and they are really good reliable cars. Aaron wants to get a van. Not that I am against vans, I just think this one would be better for now. The one I am looking at does have a lot of miles so maybe I'll just have to suck it up but still why can't I finally get the car that I actually like? My Jetta was ok, but it wasn't my choice, aaron thought it would be a better car to resell if we needed to. Then we got the Escape, but I just feel like we were forced into that car, and it didn't get good gas milege. Now I find a car I like, but Aaron wants me to have a van. I want this to be a car that I will like and stick with for a LONG time. I feel like we trade in/sell our cars every year and it's getting old to me.
I start my nanny job on Monday. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I am also working P/T still as a billing clerk and I am working a lot the first two weeks (m/t/w/th/Sat) then usually the last two weeks I am super slow so I will only work t/th. It will give us extra money, but I know I'll be tired. We'll see how it works out ... I might tell them I can't work that much, which I'm sure they'll understand.

Ok, I should be working so I better go.
