rollin' rollin' rollin'


And the big news....

New Wheels for Tony!

Ton' has been saving his money for a car 
for pretty much his whole life.
When he started working at MarketPlace
Tyler helped him set up a budget
and he's put at least $500 a month in his auto fund since then.
(he's also got saving's accounts specifically for
giving
his house
and his future family.
Irrelevant to this post, but interesting anyways, don't you think?)

Tony really wanted a small SUV
- his top pick being a Toyota Forerunner -
but thought he might have to settle on a car
to get good gas mileage.
He and Tyler have been checking the ads for several weeks now
and last week
they found it!
A gal who works at ABF was selling a 2001 Toyota Rav4
which happens to be a small SUV
that also gets good gas mileage!!

We are so thankful that God provided Tony with a good vehicle
in his price range
(actually cheaper than Blue Book value!)
in the style he was hoping for.
It'll also hold a car seat or two.
He checked.
'cause you just never know... 


We're so proud of you, Bud!
Congratulations on your first car!
