Wade and I.

I can't beleive it either!

Wade and I have one car between the two of us - a 95 honda with dents and 140,000 miles on it. It is slowly dying  - the speedometer went last week, and we had to replace the battery, too.
Wade's parents live in TN, and mine live in NY, and now that hes on NxStage, he will be going back to work soon, and we'll be visiting family and friends. Theres no way a few days worth of supplies + NXstage would fit in our old car.

Yesterday we looked around, never thinking we'd ever get a brand new car! It just worked out that the Jeep Patriot was perfect for us - the price, the space, the gas miles, the drive = everything. Since it was a present from Wade's parents that we will take the payments over on, they went to check it out and loved it too! 

Well, it all worked out very well - so on Wednesday we pick up our 2008 JEEP PATRIOT! Now people won't believe us when we say we're broke!


Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so EXCITED!

Girlfriend of Wade, on dialysis since 5/11/07 and NxStage since 8/20/07. We're hoping for a transplant as soon as his "FGP" is gone!

Love the Jeep.  Perfect for traveling with the NxStage!  :2thumbsup;

I understand about the family help too.  Mike's Mom paid a huge downpayment on our 2005 when we bought it -- we couldn't have done it without her help.  If it weren't for Mike's Mom and the money his Dad left to her when he died, I don't know what we would have done.   Thank God for family.
