About Jacob

Jacob and I made two large purchases this weekend and throughout the process I learned a few things about my husband.
The first was a minivan. We tried to get all three car seats across the back of the Camry last week and realized how miserable it would be for kids and parents. Our purchase of a new car became a need instead of a want. So now that we live in the middle of nowhere, major purchases have to be made after hours of driving. We looked online and found our dream car in Phoenix. We made a quick over nighter to go pick it up. So after having the new car for four days guess who hasn't even held the keys yet. Yep, me. I am not complaining, I just find it interesting. After all I was the one who picked it out. I am not worried, I know I will eventually log many miles in the driver seat.
The next was a vacuum. Yes that couldn't have died three weeks ago when we lived in a real city. We had to add that to the list of things to get in Phoenix, along with diaper and wipes from Costco. This is what I found hilarious. When Jacob and I realized we would have to buy a new one he said,"Oh, good I know just what I want." My mouth dropped open. Jacob is very helpful, but the last time he touched the vacuum was to dust the inside of his computer. I made it very clear that if he was so picky about the vacuum he would be sharing the use of it a lot more from now on.
Interesting in how things work out.
