Okay. Story Time.
Back story...
When Jackson and I bought our house, it came with this ugly, ancient stove. Like from the stone age stove. It was yellow-ish. and had coils for cooking, and if any of you know me... I ALWAYS spill over food and then it gets into the little silver things under the coils and those are a pain to clean and remove. And it didn't have a timer. And who the heck knew how to make the oven work. Basically. It was ancient. And a pain. And I HATED it. with a passion.
Present story time... (well a couple months ago story time.)
I'd been looking off and on since we got our house for a cheap new stove on KSL. Cause what newly wed can afford to pay 300-600 bucks for a new stove? No thanks. I'd never found anything that I actually liked or that was pretty cheap. Until one day, Jackson and I were driving around just for the heck of it. We'd gone to Lowe's to look at stuff for fun and I was like, well maybe I'll check KSL again. And. There. It. Was. The one. It was 80 bucks, white, and a flat top. Everything I wanted. (basically at least.) I hurried and texted the guy to see if it was still available. And it was. but somebody was coming to look at it in an hour and probably buy it. Jackson and I were NOT okay with that. We hurried and talked about it and texted the guy back... If we can be there in 20 minutes and give you 100 for it... can we have it? We felt like ninjas. I mean, who wouldn't really? He didn't text back, still not yet.. I'm getting antsy. And then FINALLY... sure, see you soon. WAHOO!!! Jackson and I hurried over to the address, looked at the stove, and said we'll take it. Loaded it up in the Jeep and took off, all before the other guy was even supposed to come look at the stove. We felt like we were the coolest people around. I mean really! We got it right underneath his feet. The guy who sold it to us said, "I guess I'll have to figure out what to say to the next guy! haha."
And therefore, we named the Jeep, "El Bandito" or "The Bandit" because we felt like bandits getting the stove out from under those other people's nose.
