Our First Car


Here we are!  I know I haven't added anything to our blog since it was created.  But I am excited to report that we have purchased our first car as a married couple.  It was a big decision for us because neither one of us have ever bought a brand new car.  With much consideration, we decided to get the Volkswagen Tiguan.  As Adam would put it, think "Tiger" and "Iguana" put together.  We both absolutely love it.  At first, my favorite part about the car was the really long sunroof that extends all of the way to the back.  But now that I have driven it more, my favorite part is definitely the 2.0 turbo.  It's like a rocket when you punch the gas.  
Although buying a new car can be fun because it's a new and exciting, I think the best part about buying the car together is that we have both made a big commitment together that we mutually decided on and can now call ours for the first time in our marriage.  It' something we share.  So, it brings us closer together and strengthens our marriage.  
Of course there is a lot of "firsts" still to come for Adam and I.  However, we are thrilled to have this one under our belt and are trying to remain patient and enjoy our time together while we are young.  I think this endeavor we have undertaken will keep us busy for the time being and we look forward to appreciating what we have for awhile.  
As I conclude this blog I would like to ask for your prayers in Adam and I's future as we venture into a busy time in our lives focusing on Adam's career and the prospect of him getting hired on at a fire department.  This is his dream and passion and we have faith that God will provide us with a lasting career for him to step into in the near future.
Love,
Krista and Adam
