 Our first car when we moved to Florida was a hand-me-down. My grandmother gave us a little white Ford Escort, drove it, mashed for a little while, and then it just stopped working. At the time, we had two kids already, third one on the way. We knew we needed a minivan, and she saw this Kia Sedona. We laugh now, but this was Colleen's dream car. I paid $5,000 for it, and it was a lot of money coming out of my pocket at the time. It was one of those situations where by the car, or do we keep the lights on? There are not too many things that Colleen wants. Like I said, she's content with little, probably why it works. Now we do date nights like every weekend. Now that I'm making money and we spend lavishly, dinner's not cheap. We don't go to cheap restaurants. But backtrack 15 years ago, we never went anywhere because we couldn't afford it. We had a couple from our church that recognized, this is a young, struggling couple, they decided, why don't we come over and watch the kids for you? It was nice, but we were like, where are we gonna go? We don't have any money, we're not gonna do anything. And so Colleen surprised me by buying a six pack of beer, and she made some meatball heroes, and we went to the beach.
