A few things...

First of all a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my good friend Lynette.
We have been friends for such a long time and I love her so much!

So here is a big birthday kiss from me to you Lynette!


I love you because
-you make me laugh
-you are creative
-you know my soul
-you love me despite the things I am not
-you say it like it is
-you come to see me
-you are there, always, and that comforts me

I'm so blessed to have such a beautiful friend. I treasure this woman, and love that time nor distance has separated us.

Happy birthday Lenni!

Second of all we are buying a minivan. Ahhhh(this is the shrieking ahhh)! Despite all of my objections I know it is a smart vehicle to buy. Talk about a midlife crisis! Am I really going to be a minivan mom? Well, we drive it home tonight.

Matt's car has been a great little car. My cute husband, with no pride, has driven that thing into the ground! It's at that point where any money we put into it will not come out of it, so it's time to say goodbye.

We took the kids to the dealership last night to show them our new car. They are pretty sad to day goodbye to the red car. G calls it his Lightnin' McQueen car. He sure loves it. It's the end of an era!
