19 Months In the Making
In case you can't tell what I'm saying in the video . . .
Noelle's birth father did not appear in court today, his rights are terminated, and we are about a month away from being sealed in the temple!!!! This is the news I've been waiting nearly a year to receive. I thought the months and days surrounding the birth of a baby was tough (not knowing if the birth mom would change her mind last minute), but now I know having and loving your baby and not knowing if someone would take her away is even harder. All I can say is, Heavenly Father was watching out for us/her and PHEW!!!!!!!!! How are we going to celebrate, you ask? Well, tomorrow we are on our way to Utah to buy a minivan. Awwwww yeah boyee!
Let's get your vote. Should we buy the 2003 Honda Odyssey EX-L, 43K miles with leather seats and dual power sliding doors or the 2005 Toyota Sienna CE with 30K miles and stow and go seating?????

I just got chills!! I am so excited for you!!!! I would go for the Toyota My parents have one and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
Oh my gosh Amber!
I just found out recently that there was still a chance and I was sick about it.
I am about in tears right now.
CONGRATULATIONS! How wonderful!
I cannot say enough about the Odyssey, you will LOVE it.
I have a 2002 and I still love it even if I wish it were newer. You will not regret it. My sister in law who was SO against a minivan now loves her Honda.
I am so very excited for you.
Yeah!!!!! i am so haaaapppppyyyy for the good news! I love that sweet little girl! that's a tough call on the cars, they are both really nice, so i would say pick what ever one you get the best deal on...and which color you like :) you can't go wrong with a toyota or honda. sorry not much help in deciding on that one!
Yeah Woolners!!! You guys have been in our thoughts for so long regarding this and I am glad to see that all the prayers and fasts have finally been answered! I am really happy for you guys!
So, are you going to the temple while you are here in Portland in December?
CONGRATULATIONS!!
AMBER! Congratulations! We have been keeping you in our and thoughts and prayers for this day. I can only imagine your elation.
I vote for the Odyssey. Do you guys need a place to stay? We will be in SLC tomorrow night for a Utah Chiro board meeting. Do you guys have time on your schedule to meet up if you will be in the area?
That is the best news I have heard ALL day! I am so excited for you guys!! Best of luck with the car shopping...why Utah??
Wow that is such a relief! I can't wait for you to finally be sealed as a family. Noelle is such a doll. Congrats, and enjoy the new car.
Oh I am so happy for you guys. What a great day! You are going to love having a van whether it is the Odyssey or the Sienna; although I am a little bias and I LOVE my Honda Odyssey! Good luck!
YEAHHHH!!! This is a Happy day!!!! I can't wait to see the pix from your beautiful sealing day!!
As for the minivan, Stow and Go is the best thing in the UNIVERSE!!!
I am so happy for you guys and especially for Noelle. What a beautiful blessing for her! Please let us know when and where the sealing will be, I want to be there if there is any chance at all (if I am invited of coarse!:))
And as far as my vote, I say get the Odyssey for sure! We love our Odyssey so much and the automatic doors are the best. Our friends have a newer Toyota and I have to say I like our van better. Of coarse you can't go wrong with either really! Good luck.
OOOOEEEEEE! Best news ever. We thoroughly tested both, and decided on the Honda. The Sienna was a close 2ndh, though. Make sure you take both of them off some sweet jumps before deciding.
that is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I"m so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats in a big big way! Hip Hip Hooray!
I vote for either. I've heard great things about both.
We are so happy for you guys! So good to know that she will be a Woolner forever!
As for the van, let us know what you decide and like because we are making the big van switch to either a Honda or Toyota after the first of the year and are undecided as to what to get. Congrats again!
I, Bryan, actually am a bigger fan of the Odyssey. I realize you have already bought the van, but I just thought I would share my opinion. As a buyer and seller of automobiles I would say not to pay more than $12,000 for the Odyssey or more than $15,000 for the Sienna. Hope all goes well. Congrats too!
Random stalker of my cousin Sam, but just had to chime in that the stow and go seats are freaking AWESOME!
congratulations!! holy smokes that is GREAT news! Way to go Woolners. The Lord is definitely on your team.
o, and the Riley's cast their vote for the Toyota :)
yeah... congrats!!! we are sooo happy for you guys. Either choice you are getting a MAV...
Wow...what a relief! I am so happy for you guys! Wish you were here to celebrate with! Let us know when and where the Sealing will be! Congrats again! Which van did you end up getting? I like both!!
I'm seriously in shock!!! I'm so happy for you guys. We finally got our internet hooked up so I could check in on you. YEAH for finally becoming and eternal family. Let us know what the details are. I wish you could have come with Chad last week. Love and miss you all!
Hot Dang! That is great news! We love and miss you guys!!!
Woohooo! What great news! I'm so happy for all of you. I'm an Odyssey fan myself. They are so much fun to drive!
Justin and I are so glad for you. We hope all is going well in Idaho for you guys. Best wishes and love from frigid Illinois! My vote is the Odyssey.
Yeah! Yeah! YEah!
I was just wondering about the sealing. I am so happy for you and your family that it will all come to a wonderful close and you can be sealed in the temple. What a wonderful day for you. What ever you buy get the extened warrenty, it comes in handy on a used car.
