Newest Addition!

*** Disclaimer: The baby referred to in the following post is not an actual tiny, cute, precious bundle of joy like you might think. One of those isn't in our future quite yet. Sorry.

A week and half ago I was driving on the freeway to meet my carpool for dance when my car decided it wanted to die instead. Motor=dead. I guess there'd been a slow leak and it was completely out of oil. Awesome. So I waited for my wonderful husband and father to come tow it away and bring me to safety.

But that left me without a car. It costs more to fix it than it's worth so fixing it was pretty much out. So we went car shopping the next night and found this beauty.


2008 Nissan Altima
Power locks, Push start button, dual climate control, heated seats, moon/sun roof, Bose sound system

This baby had everything we hoped for but figured we'd have to sacrifice. And we could afford it all. How awesome is that?

This was my first big purchase of my life. I've never bought anything on credit or that's more than $1700. So of course I needed to sleep on it. The next day we went back and another couple was looking at it... That's about all it took. I wanted that car! We shook the guys hand, did all the paperwork stuff and drove away with my new baby!

I found myself being all protective if someone gets too close or cuts me off. I yell at them sometimes.

A week and half later and I couldn't be happier with our purchase. I probably would have looked for weeks and then gone back to it only to find it was gone and be so sad. Thank goodness I have a husband who is smart and can help me make decisions.

So if you see me on the streets don't be jealous.
And don't drive to close or I'll yell at you :)
