New cars, exciting news and looking to the future.....

Date: January 28th, 2010

Location: Diningroom Table

Listening to: I'm So Sick (acoustic) - Flyleaf

first, new cars..

As many of you know, I own a beloved 1991 Chrysler Dynasty... that likes to throw fits most of the time and act out. Most recently, He decided he didn't want to shift out of second, or he would shift REALLY hard, scaring me. So, We decided to look into getting a brand-new vehicle! We applied for financing on a 2010 Kia Rio5, but were turned down due to lack of credit. Needless to say, we had to start used car shopping! That was fun!

We finally decided on a 1995 pontiac grand prix, for only 500.00 bucks! He's pretty rad, power locks, power windows, only issue is... his heater core is leaking, so we're waiting for a new one to come in... and until then, driving poor old Pumbaa.

Thats pretty much it as far as cars go.... but all of this became a big deal because on the 8th or March I am going to edmonton to PICK UP CAITLYN!! AHHH!!!!!

Pretty much, incredibly stoked!!

and of course, as always I am still wedding planning.... and getting very, VERY excited!
