Goodbye...Hello!

We have had a high car turnover rate recently. We've had our Ford Explorer for over seven years, and it was a great vehicle for us at the time. Just over a year ago we got a cheap car for me to get to and from school; cheaper than the Explorer, and we needed two vehicles with me being in school full time. Roby fixed a few things on it, but it has started to do weird things while it shifted on the highway and whatnot. Last month Roby went up to Washington on during his week of leave and drove home his beloved Bronco (scroll a few pictures down). (His first car, he asked me out in it, we brought Ethan home from the hospital in it...many other memories to say the least.) On the 28th of July we went and got me a new(er) car!!! To help out, we traded our loyal Explorer in. It was a little shocking because we had had it for so long and had to get all our stuff out quickly.

Saying, "Goodbye."


Because we had been talking about getting rid of the Explorer, I recorded some recordings the kids made several years ago in Germany. The only one of Ethan is the second one, the rest are Natalie. We waited around for Ethan a lot, so found ways to entertain ourselves! :-) I just LOVE the little voices, and I'm glad I re-recorded it.



And here she is! A 2009 Toyota Matrix. Its a Corolla with a hatchback body. And a unique color! :-)


Do you love our colorful driveway or what?!


I drove it to school all week, with a few errands and whatnot. I got a whopping 31.5 mph! I was shocked and amazed! We also have a way to get back to Washington next summer now! We'll have to put our pennies together, but we'll find a way!
