new car

first another shot of the nater and his leapster. good money well spent dad!

so. chris works out, regularly. shocking isn't it? after dad had his heart attack, chris started talking about doing something along the lines of exercise. after doing mucho reading and reviews on everything out there we settled on the exbox personal trainer. chris has faithfully used it for over a month now. this is a record. this is huge! the funnest thing is the role reversal. i am on the couch watching! haa!

las night i came down to chris and his work out buddy

work it dudes!

car!

ok. so just before christmas we put the car up for sale. it was an old beater that out neighbours very pleased to see we parked it in the garage. ha. the car worked great, just old and required a lot of maintenance. time that chris and i felt would be better spent doing other things. so we listed the car, got a lot of calls and ppl seing it but nothing came from it. so we let it go

then last wed night, chris came home and told me that he felt that god was urging him to re post the car stat. so we did. we got a call 20 mins later, the guy came by thurs evening to see it and returned back an hour later with cash, the car was sold...less than 24 hrs

so we were out of a car

and off we went to the auction to see what was around. after lusting after this sweet king cab, 1/2 tonne beauty....we could have bought it but really, it was at the high end of our budget. we don't want car debt, so what ever cars we buy are paid in cash, or paid for over a month or two. we just both think that cars are not a good investment of money cause they lose value stat. so

we did not get the truck and instead bought a pt cruiser....?!?! the LAST car i thought i would ever want. but i like it, it's cute, it's got storage....enough for 2 car seats, a stroller and groceries...and we paid cash for it

here she is

my new cutie car. chris will no longer want to drive this car...seeing the name i put on it. ha!

one day we will get that truck!
