oh baby!

SOOOOOooooo...... Quinn and i decided on the "van" idea after taking one for a test drive and realizing how ridiculously AMAZING it would be to have one as our own....yeah kinda like a baby, our first baby, we could take care of it, wash it, name it, take it everywhere we go, and love it! So you can imagine how excited we became about the new addition to our family and started right away on making it happen!

Quinn and i went into the bank to get a loan that we figured would take a couple of days to sort out until we actually got the money from the loan thus, the van. Talking to the very nice lady Mary Jane (who Quinn told shared the same name as his mom, thank goodness i was there to remind him that his mother's name is MARY JEAN not MARY JANE) reassured us that this would take no time at all. As we talked more and she realized that we did not have an account at that bank, don't have much credit built up, and need a co-signer-who subsequently lives in salt lake- the process might not be quite the "in and out" process we had discussed previously. So for the next week we were in and out of the bank getting things "situated" and "worked out" Things were really starting to look up after the second week of all this when she told us we just needed to fax something to the salt lake branch and then finally- we could get the van! So into the bank we went to find that familiar friendly face and name gone! Another agent began to help us and told us that what had been said was wrong "no the co-signer needs to sign the exact documents" so sending them was the only option. Again feeling a bit defeated and frustrated we left but a light was still at the end of the tunnel only because Monday of the next week for sure we were promised all would be well. 

Just to be on the safe side we waited to plan everything for Tuesday and not Monday even though we were reassured Monday was the day. Tuesday was the day that we made arrangements with the van owner to meet us, the day we set aside time away from the hectic schedule of finals week from Quinn's last year and last week of college, and it was the day we agreed to have the young girl and her mom, that we're buying our car, drive to cedar from beaver to come pick up our car and take it away..... forever-because we wouldn't need a car anymore of coarse because we'd have our new van! With all of these arrangements at hand, Tuesday came but our money did not, mainly because the documents never went- they were not sent- they were still there on the desk of Mary Jane! Why i have no idea considering that we found that the reason of the familiar face of Mary Jane's previous absence was because she was no longer an employee there! BUMMER! We now had no car considering we had just sold ours and no money to get the new one! A big bundle of aggravation came on- but thankfully was settled once the documents were promised to be over-nighted....and my mom and brother offered to help out with transportation as long as we needed. The next day i went into the bank a bit sceptical and possibly a bit pessimistic, to see if  the documents had been sent.....and were they?????YES!!!! FINALLY, Wednesday(almost 3 weeks later)we got our MONEY so we could finally bring home our new BABY!!!
