New Week, New Car, and Getting Lost Along the Way!

Well things have been going rather well lately. Our little family was able to go and get our pictures taken by Paul Spallino. He took them back in October, but we decided to get more done because Liam arrived! We haven't seen them yet, but are very excited about them! Paul did a great job last time and I can't wait to see what he captured of my two beautiful children! Thanks again Paul and Shannie for taking the pictures! You two are wonderful people and we had a blast getting pictures taken!


In other news I may have found a place for us to live come August! There was a listing for a duplex type of situation in Kanab with 1200 square feet of apartment for $550! I was very excited about that and immediately called to inquire. So next week we get to go look at the apartment! Yay! Wish us luck!




And!!!!! We finally got a new car! We are so excited about it! It's really nice and fits out family perfectly. It drives like a dream and has wonderful air conditioning! Hehe...that's my favorite by the way! I'm really grateful that we were able to get the vehicle and that it fits our family so nicely. Let's face it, our car was getting rather cramped. And it was finally giving up the ghost. Don't get me wrong that car was wonderful, it's just that it was older and, well, small. And now I feel so....so powerful! Hehe...little me in an suv, can you imagine it? Haha...Jonathan loves the new vehicle and is very eager to drive it. I've never seen him so excited about running errands before!


Today was also interesting because I had to drive to Salt Lake City by myself! Well, it was actually West Valley City and Marie Neeley was with me, but that's not the point. My sister Annaliese needed me to go and pick up a few things for her and Jonathan couldn't go because he had to work, so that left me to...gulp...dive! Ugh...not only had I never driven to Salt Lake City by myself, but I had never really drive our new vehicle that far before! So I was completely nervous and absolutely sure that I would manage to get myself lost before too long! After all I am notorious for having no sense of direction! Well initially I was fine on the drive up and we were able to make it to our destination with relatively good time. But on the way back sure enough I got us lost! But it truly wasn't my fault! We had to take a detour and didn't know where we were going. We passed Taylorsville and I knew we weren't on the same road that we had come, but I decided to keep going in the direction we were. After all we were going south and that was the general direction. How bad could it be right? Well luckily for me, I spotted the Draper Temple and then the sign for IKEA and I knew where we were! We had travelled along Bangeter highway and were actually going in the right direction! Yay! Hehe...but I still got us lost! And tacked on about another half hour to our trip! But it was fun, scary and generally just an interesting experience. I do however feel bad for Marie. She was stuck in a car with me and my screaming Liam. He hates his carseat and just wanted to be held. By the way Marie, he went right to sleep when I got him home. He wasn't even hungry! Sorry again! I know he must have caused a migraine!


So this week has been rather interesting and fun. Lots of changes and new experiences. Tomorrow I have a test for Physcial Science so wish me luck! I'm praying that I do well.
