Losing our minivan added not only all of Geneva&#8217;s college class schedule to my driving load, but all the other driving she would have possibly done for me. It&#8217;s been pretty much nonstop ever since &#8211; until Tuesday, when Paul and Geneva went and picked up a sparkling red 2003 Toyota Corolla with 177000 miles for a mere $2500 (thanks be to God for our tax return!). It&#8217;s so pretty, and Geneva tells me it has really cold AC, which is about the most important thing in AZ. Just today this new vehicle saved me 4 different trips in the big van (and that&#8217;s 4 trips the three littles didn&#8217;t have to endure either!). Join me in celebrating this blessing for our very busy family (and Geneva, who is finally FREEEEE!!!).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"flagallery cicerone_skin\" id=\"FlaGallery_sc1_722\" ><script
