Okay so last Saturday we made the decision to go start looking for vehicles. We decided to do this because come this summer we are going to need a buy a bigger vehicle. Three car seats won't fit in the back of my Saturn Ion. The first place we decided to check out was the Dodge Dealership. Well they had two vehicles there that we REALLY liked. the first was a 2003 Chevy Trail Blazer and the second is a 2005 Dodge Durango. They were both priced around 11,000 dollars. Which lets face it is a Great Deal. So he talked us into test driving them and to be honest it didn't take much. After the test drives Mitchell and I really sat there pondering whether or not we should try to finance the vehicle now. The big thing was that if we waited these vehicles a might not be there or b not at this price. So needless to say we went and talked with the guy about how it would work if we decided to see if we could finance one of the vehicles. He explained how it worked and parked the two vehicles side by side so we could decide better on which one we would want. Needless to Say come monday we find out we got approved and bought the Dodge Durango. It seats seven people has just a little bit more mileage that my Saturn did. Which if everyone knows only had 43000 miles on it. The Durango has 47000 on it.
So here comes the frustration of buying a new vehicle and being in the military. The wonderful insurance company that we thought we had Allstate was giving us a big run around. They kept telling us that because one vehicle is registered in Cali and this new vehicle will be registered here in MN that we have to do two different policies..that they can't be on one. They wanted us to pay 133 dollars just for the Dodge Durango when were paying 91 dollars for both our vehicles previously. Well Mitchell and I were like yeah okay. I want my vehicles on the same policies and not for that much. So I called my agent back in Cali and told her what this guys said. By the way this guy also informed that after living in MN for six months that we are required to set our residencies here in MN. We kindly told him like Mitchell has cops around here that have pulled him over for some pretty stupid stuff...realizes he lives here and will fight just give him a warning...that in the military because we move so much we leave our home of residents in one spot. So my agent back in Cali called their underwriters while Mitchell started calling around to other insurance companies to get their quotes. She called back saying that because both vehicles are in the same garage in the same state we can have them on the same policies but doesn't know the rates for MN insurance. So I left it up to Mitchell from there. Needless to say Allstate wouldn't stop the run around saying that we should just go and become MN residents. So Mitchell said screw you and went with Geico who was nice about the whole thing. With Geico we're paying 83 dollars I think for both vehicles. We are now proud Geico customers and no longer fans of Allstate.
Other than the frustrations with the insurance companies yesterday everything else is going well. I could do with out the nausea spells that I have been getting at night and my body being extremely picky over what foods I eat. But hey I'm Pregnant! It comes with the territory. So as the days go by that I'm really hungry for a certain food we don't have I just add to our grocery list and try to make do with whats in the house...which to be honest isn't working out so well...I'll eat what we have and its makes me feel sick. The upside is tomorrow is payday and I can go get that grocery list. I am also slowly starting to get excited about this pregnancy. yay! What helps is knowing that I have a very helpful husband. Last night to be honest was the crappiest I have felt and he did what he could to take care of everything so I could lay down. I think he is doing everything he can to get me excited. Including getting that vehicle. That helps me not worry about having to get a vehicle that our family will fit in...we have one now. so now I know that no matter what we're going to be good. He just needs to reenlist.
The only other Update that we have right now is that our Ultrasound is Scheduled for the 30Th. Well I'm off God Bless!
