It's almost as if I've lost the whole notion on how to blog. I don't know where to start, it's almost like it's my first time all over again.
Anyway here I go! Raul and I have finally made our first big purchase, and we are not even married yet! :)
We have purchased a car!!! YIKES! Raul has some connections with car dealers due to the nature of his work. And well they are constantly offering car deals left and right to him. He was concerned and feeling a bit stressed because he did not want me to have no car once I was in Texas. And I agreed too, but I was just hesitant on making a big purchase like that. So after passing up a TL Acura, and a Jetta we decided on another car. And I'm almost embarrassed to say it! I never imagined my self in it. It's a Navy Blue 2006 Toyota Scion..you know the ones that look like shoe boxes. I would see people driving them, and think "what do these people see in this car, I could NEVER see myself in one of those." And well now Raul and I are owners of one! Ahhhhh ;(
BUT I feel better knowing that the car was way within our financial means. The other two cars were not and I didn't want to commit myself to something we actually couldn't afford at the moment. Our payments our extremely low, low APR, and the car was not that expensive at all.
And well the future hubby is now happy because the future wifey now has a car and can get around town on her own. I know I'm being silly but I'm just glad no one really knows me in Texas. That car is just not my style or type of car. SIGH!!! But oh well like Raul and I said, "we have to start somewhere."
The End of our- shoe- box- looking- like- car- story!! :)

LOL. That car's cute!
You're right, too. It's all about what you can afford. It's not worth having a "fancy" car when you're worrying about the payments (and insurance!).
Good decision!
I agree . . .the Scion is cute! But I also understand about it not totally being your style . . .it's like the "turtle" (green '97 Taurus)that Richard owns, I hated driving it to work b/c its so not me, but I sure don't complain each month when we have no car note on it =).
