Gage, when you were a few months old, we decided to purchase an SUV. I had my eyes on a Ford Edge and was determined to get one. We found a used 2008 Limited Edge at a local car lot, and after some negotiating, we were officially SUV owners. I loved that Edge. I loved how it looked, I loved how it rode and I loved all the room. Your daddy wasn't as thrilled. The vehicle had a few problems and the only times the problems occurred was when your daddy was driving. None the less, that vehicle took us on three vacations, numerous trips to Indiana and of course all over Warren County and the surrounding areas.
The final straw came in January when the rear drive shaft broke and left Daddy stranded for the third time. We got the Edge fixed and the day we drove it away from the mechanic was the day we started looking for a new vehicle. I've always like the look of the GMC Acadia and we test drove a used one at the dealership. I was sold on it, but your daddy wanted to see what Ford had to offer. We stopped by the dealership and saw an Explorer. One look, and my mind had been changed. It was a 2014 XLT Ford Explorer with all the bells and whistles. With our trade in and my discount from work (thanks Walgreens), we got a good deal and that Friday we drove our new vehicle off the lot.
We made a few changes (tinted the front windows and added a trailer hitch) and we are loving our new ride. There's more room (third row seating!) and some fancy touches (navigation - no more Tom Tom, and a panoramic moonroof - hello sun). We are digging the Explorer and you boys think it's pretty nifty too!

I love you,
