Our little family will be growing soon.

We are trying to find a little car to add to our family! (were you thinking I was pregnant? Nope!)
We sold the Geo. It was a very sad day! Really, I came in the house and bawled after they drove off in it. It needed some repairs in order to get it registered and it would have been around $650 which is more than the car is worth. Geo went to a cute, humble 16 year old boy who was ecstatic to have it! (many have said, "Someone paid money for that car?")
Yes, it still drives!! I told the boy(while gazing off in a different direction, remembering) I was also 16 when I got the Geo. I think he thought I was strange. I also hugged the door as I got out of it. Hahahaha! Okay, I am strange. Su Lo, I know you can relate with your "Buck the Truck" when you sold it!
Anyway, I bawled because of the many memories I had with that little car(see past post about Geo) and also my Dad bought it for me and he passed away just four years ago. I felt like it was another little piece of my Dad going away. Well, I'm sentimental.
Anyway, we have been trying to find a reliable car for Jake to drive around. We were looking at Toyota's and Honda's, but with our budget the miles are too high on the one's were looking at.
So, we decided to start looking at Hyundai's. We used to have a Santa Fe which I loved!
We are looking at Elantra's and Sonata's now.
I'll let you know what we ultimately find. Until then.................

My week of niceness.

It has been so nice having Jake home for a week. I got to go to California all by myself, for a few days. Yep, no kids:) I got to see my Mom and spend some time with her. I saw my sister Robyn, who had a little girl just two weeks old. I got to spend the night at my other sisters, Melinda, and we went shopping, saw a movie, ate at the Soup Plantation. It was nice to be there. When I got back, Jake spent a day cleaning and organizing our garage. It looks fantastic now! We organized things around the house, and bought and put together a dresser from IKEA. We have desperately been needing more space to put our clothes. We have been staying up late watching TV, going to lunch during the day with only Breck. It has been a treat.
Tomorrow he starts his new job. I'm excited and hope he will love it!
I am excited to get our first paycheck too, as we had a whole week off without pay! HAHAHAHA! IT HURTS!

Me and Taylor. (She kept making faces)

Me and baby Jenna. So sweet and sqeaky!

Melinda, my sister, looking pretty.
