How to Buy a Car like a Hess: An 8-step process

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.IMG_0373

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.
