We bought a bus!

Yesterday we finally bought a bus! After an exciting morning of driving to and around Goffstown (aka Stars Hollow ala Gilmore Girls), we finally arrived at Bus and Chassis. They were as eager as us to get this road trip started :) After a million, "OMG we have a bus"s, we finally got on the road.
After some wonderful driving by Collin and some wonderful leading by Jessie, we finally made it to the mechanic. They were busy and we were hungry, so we grabbed some food with Jessie's wonderful parents. They came back to the mechanic's to check out our bus. We'd like to send out a huge thanks to the Donovans for their support!
Unfortunately, the mechanic saw what we missed: the worn out tires, the leaky seals, and the rusty radiator. We were heartbroken. We were looking at another 3,000 - 5,000 in repairs, which was no where near in the budget. We caught a small break with Mr.Gee's tire shop. Mike Gee found some tires which would definitely work for about 1/4 what we thought we were going to have to pay. Unfortunately, 2,000 was still not in the budget. We began looking for alternatives.
Luckily, Bus and Chassis lept to the rescue! While we were calling our friends trying to arrange some additional financing, they did some searching of their own and found another bus which they are sure will be able to make the trip. We are exchanging our bus on Monday for a better one. We are extremely optimistic that everything will turn out great!

TLDR: We got a bus, it didn't pass inspection, we are getting a new one on Monday.
