It happened. With the impending (sort of) arrival of a 4th human family member, we had to say goodbye to the Civic. Although it is still technically in our possession, I’m already shedding a few farewell tears. It has been the easiest, most reliable, low-maintenance car of all time. Here’s hoping we have similar luck this time around.

Anyway, Luther in St. Cloud was having a HUGE moving sale and we decided to take advantage of the deals and treat the family to a nice little hatchback hybrid.

We now have space for two children in rear-facing seats, two long-legged adults, and one mid-sized mixed breed pup! Oh, and we should be managing well over 40 mpg during our commutes now which doesn’t make me sad.

More reports to come once we’re settled in and have found a name for the new little guy.
