My latest eBay purchase!!

Most of you know I am a serious eBay shopper (& seller). But even I didn't believe I would buy something this big on eBay...you know sometimes the shipping charges can be more than the purchase ; -). OK seriously, you know we have been debating on a larger family vehicle. I tried the minivan and I just couldn't do it, so I decided to keep looking for a SUV with a third row. Then after searching and pricing I decided I just don't want to pay that much for a new vehicle since our current SUV was paid off. So I did what I usually do when I want to buy something but pay nothing for it...I looked on eBay. I found the exact Trailblazer I wanted: Third row seating, nice color, 4 wheel drive, low miles, and apparently in excellent condition, and Most importantly CHEAP!!! Oh, and it was located in Crestwood Illinois...just blocks from my Grandpa's condo. So Todd and I talked and did some research, got a Carfax report, and decided to take the plunge (they even traded our Escape for Kelly Blue Book price before seeing it) and hoped the deal wasn't too good to be true...we "bought it now". Without giving money up front of course. We took a trip up there and it was exactly as described!! So here it is:

Our New Trailblazer!!

So some of you may think we are just plain crazy, but it is incredible how cheap we got it and we Love it. You never know what you may find on eBay.

Thank you sooo much Aunt Dee Dee for watching Aiden and Alyssa while we went to look and get it. And Thank You sooo much Uncle Gerry for going with us to thoroughly check it out before we bought it. And Grandpa, it was so great to see you, Alyssa and Aiden had a great time snuggling and playing with you!

Since I am posting a picture of our new family car, I thought I would show you what we use for date night (you know, once or twice a year!).

Here is Todd's new Mustang, I love it just as much!

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day!!
