This morning (or last night) around 1:00 am, my hubby got home. And into our driveway he pulled THIS:
A new family car!! This a a 1995 GMC Suburban Beast that fits our family and more! How sweet is that? We unanimously named the car after our favorite character (from "Tangled"):
MAXIMUS
It was so wonderful to be able to drive ourselves as a family to church today, and to have heat in the car! Words cannot express the gratitude we feel to God for such an outpouring of blessings and to several family members who have extended such generous and loving help to us after our accident a couple weeks ago. It is such a reminder to me that we are watched over and loved! I hope that we can bless others lives as we have been blessed. No more being stranded at home! WOO HOO! Life is GOOD!

Cool new wheels, Margene! Hope you have many adventures in it!
Family is truly a blessing. Wonderful SUV. We own a few suburbans also. Wonderful for all kinds of travels.
I'm happy for you guys. YEAH!!!
Take care and have a blessed week.
My! The two of you look SOOOOO thin! I know it's about the car, but--the two of you look sooooo THIN! :D Wahoo! Deb
Congratulations on the new wheels! What an awesome blessing.
We bought one new in 1986 to haul or kids and all the junk around. We basically drove it into the ground. The best car I ever owned. Miss it still. But, the gas slurping thing was hard. I am making up for my carbon footprint by driving a Prius now and doing loads of biking, Enjoy it. You will LOVE it like no other vehicle!
How wonderful!! So glad for you all.
You and your hubby look wonderful!!

Congrats to you and Brent, Margene! And I have to agree with another poster here, you guys look so TINY next to that car. You are both such thinmints!

Amazing! I had hoped this would be the picture you would post after reading about your accident/car loss! :)
He IS good.
Thanks so much for your encouragement on my blog and the truth you posted there. I was going to copy and paste a few of the things you said here that impacted me but that would have been the whole thing! :-) Truthfully, WW is working for me as I'm not dealing with cravings, etc. I think it's just this whole "Hurry up... when am I going to see major results?" But I've got to be realistic about how I just started this journey. It reminds me of something my pastor says. "Spiritual maturity is NOT a highway. It's often a broken, dirt path."
Letting go and letting Him mold me physically and spiritually in this! Thanks again. Veronica
So happy for your guys!!! You will love the SUV!!!
