Surprise!

Ok, I love a good surprise.  Although when it comes with a near heart attack, it's a little more memorable.

So, Ben bought a new truck a few weeks ago.  At the same time I was looking at a different vehicle but it didn't work out.  Yesterday after work I was at the grocery store.  I was talking to Ben and he had asked me what I was doing, I told him shopping and I'd see him at home.  I came out of the store and put the groceries in the back of my car.  I put the cart away and then went to get in the car.  When I unlocked and opened the door I noticed a piece of paper on my seat that I knew I didn't put there.  It scared the crap out of me and I stepped back and looked to see if someone was in my car.  Nope, just me.  Then I thought that I put the groceries in someone else's car.  Nope, mine.  By that time I gained enough courage to see what the paper said.  It was a sale tag from a car like the one we were looking at.  I turned around and Ben was sitting in the car in the aisle behind me with a big grin on his face.  

Long story short, I got a Chrysler Pacifica and said goodbye to my Trailblazer.  It was a good car but I was looking for something a little newer and that was a little easier on gas.  It will take a bit to get used to as it's more like a car.  The kids like it, it still has a DVD player and sunroof.  My favorite part is the automatic lift gate.  

So the bad news, when I was test driving it yesterday I went to the mall.  We realized this morning that sometime when I was there someone but a nice big gouge in the front fender.  May the same happen to them!
