New Car = More Bills

Through High school, and most of Blake's BYU-Idaho career my little '96 Honda Accord has lasted us. I love that car, I mean it was my first car. My dad bought it from my Aunt Sharon in 2007. I had been driving, and well... lets face it, sharing a car with my mom wasn't the least bit of fun. I needed it for work, and she needed it to run motherly errands. Anywho, while living with my parents for the rest of high school, I had ZERO bills. (Now a nice concept). So I made monthly payments to dad to buy my car off of him. Somewhere between my 18th birthday and graduation, dad nixed the last $200 bucks and went with me to finally put it under my name. (Seeing how I had already met Blake, and marriage was in the picture already). The car is still running, but is only worth about $1,000 (not even, I don't think), with the 300,000 miles and some cracks and dings and chipping paint, I would say it's time for a new car. 'Cuz who knows how many trips back and forth to the Tri- Cities it'll last us.

So dad, is wanting to get my mom a Honda Pilot. Which means..... The CAMRY is for sale! We are really getting a great deal from him on it. But this just means another extra bill. we are thinking of keeping the Accord because 2 cars would really be nice. But will the insurance bill be nice as well? We will see soon!

I live with Mr. Clean

During our last trip to Utah, Blake joined our new brother-in-law for a good shaving of the HEAD. Boy, was I wrong to give in and say o.k. It's o.k. I guess, a really hard adjustment considering, I love his hair! We went to the temple later that day and as I looked for him... I couldn't find him!! Then I'd see a bald head and remember. Oh yea. The first weekend back from our trip and back to work, the first thing our boss said, "What's Mr. Clean doing back in my kitchen?" It made sense, but my friend Breanne and I thought he was more like Professor Quirrell from the first Harry Potter movie. Blake had fun with this concept, and went along with it, appearing out of nowhere behind Breanne and asking, "Have you seen Harry Potta'?" in some dark hoarse voice. She pretty much pee'd her pants. One of these days I'm gonna draw eyes and two slits for a nose in the back of that hairless head. (Just for fun right?). This years Halloween might just have to be themed after Harry Potter.

Will Do Hair for Camera

How Jealous am I of one of my Best friends and sister-in-law, Danielle. We were up in Utah this past weekend visiting for Blake's sisters open house, and we had the opportunity of being with his brother and my friend! Danielle was so good about taking pictures, and with cute camera! I've always wanted a smaller camera, so it wouldn't be so difficult to take it to school or work (for those before and after shots of my work). They had this Nikon Cool Pix camera! I recently read their blog, and some of the pictures from this weekend were on it. I wish I was better at taking pictures from the everyday moments in our lives. Maybe if I got a new camera??? :)
