Step 1: Husband does some math and excitedly notes that “we could probably buy a car in a few months.” Wife is seriously doubtful.
Step 2 (two weeks later): Husband excitedly asks wife about car makes and models in order to solidify what he should be looking for. Wife is increasingly skeptical.
Step 3 (two days later): Husband sends link of the perfect vehicle to wife. Wife agrees it is perfect but is hesitant.
Step 4 (two hours later): Husband converses with the car dealership regarding wife’s dream vehicle. Wife is verrry nervous.
Step 5 (that afternoon): Husband meets with car salesman at dealership, somehow befriends every person there and works out the deal of the century. Wife is absolutely dumbfounded.
Step 6 (the next day): Wife test drives the perfect car and falls instantly in love with its charm and color-changing, ambient lighting. Wife cannot contain her excitement.
Step 7 (three days later): Husband and wife sign some papers and drive the perfect car off the lot after taking a photo with some new best friends (the car and our salesperson). Wife is ecstatic and speechless.
Step 8: Husband and wife celebrate with a trip to Five Guys and stuff their faces full of cheeseburger while discussing the importance of introducing their pickle-sized baby to the wonder of french fries and reminiscing about WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?!?! I thought we were just talking about how we could ‘maybe, probably have a new car before the pickle is born.
‘
Total time elapsed from dream to reality: 3 weeks.
Required for success: 1 amazing, go-getter of a husband.
I am now the proud owner of the most beautiful, fully loaded 2013 Ford Escape. I wish this experience on everyone I know.
Sincerely, The luckiest wife
