bye bye blue racer

A bit to Eldon's dismay (not really), we said farewell to the blue racer. It was time. She had served us well and lived to see over 140,000 miles and was still running like a champ, but it was not to be. Eldon kissed her good bye and I said HELLO beautiful to my new X-Terra!!!!!!! I have been wanting an x-terra since high school basically and the chance came to trade in the altima and get a gently used 2007 x-terra with only 25,000 miles on it for basically the same monthly payment. We jumped at the chance and I couldn't be happier. It is beautiful black, has all the upgrades that i would want (especially the mirror with the compass....if you know me at all, you will know why :P) and it is my dream car! How many people can say that they have their dream car?!? Not many....but most people don't dream about an affordable family SUV. I am just so excited for all the benefits of having a big car again (not like the tracker was very big, but it felt like it.) And now we have room in the car for a baby seat.....all we need is the baby! that will be next step hopefully. I just love it! Thanks Eldon for letting me have it! I love you!

Yeah for Date Night

Last weekend we went out for date night! Yeah, I love those! It has been a while since the two of us actually planned to go out together and do something. We eat out all the time, but this one was planned. Eldon went with me to Bed Bath and Beyond to get a new garbage can for the bathroom ( i have been wanting a nicer one that matched everything and the dog has been getting into the other one, so the new one comes with a cover) and if you know Eldon....this is huge. He hates goign in this store, and he did great. We went out to eat at Rubios and then it was off to see the much anticipated movie Monsters Vs. Aliens in 3-D at the IMAX theaters by our house. We had been really wanting to see it. It was really funny! We really enjoyed it and the glasses are just the icing on the cake ;)


Happy Birthday to Eldon



Ok...so I am a little late posting this, but we have been busy. Eldon celebrated his 26th birthday this year on April Fools Day. Yep, my baby is an a fool! We decided to celebrate it right this year since last year he was in the hospital on his birthday. We had a bunch of friends and family over for some cake and ice cream.

It was really nice to see people we hadnt seen for a bit, and spend extra time with those we had seen. A bunch of our family was out of town, so they werent able to make it, but we had a great time eating yummy food, playing rock band, watching Zeus enjoy all the attention from the little ones and spending time with our loved ones.

Happy Birthday Eldon! I love you sweetheart with all my heart! I hope that you did have a very happy birthday and hopefully this year will be much happier than last!
