Excited to announce newest member of our family

Please join Abby and I in welcoming the newest member of our family; a new-to-us 2002 Subaru Forester! What Bellingham family is complete without a Subaru? We're now true Bellinghamsters.

We got a great deal on the Subaru from one of my coworkers. The key feature that we've been looking for is the all-wheel drive, and this has it. No more being stuck on our hill when it snows!

We are now, temporarily, a four-car family. Four cars!!! What two-person family needs four cars? Not us. My goal is to be back to two cars by mid-February. Yes, that means getting rid of the truck and the Neon. The Neon is going to my father-in-law and I think I have a willing buyer for the truck.

Once we get rid of the truck, I plan to put a trailer hitch on the Subaru and then get a trailer. That will help compensate for the loss of the truck.
