Good Morning; How is everyone on this glorious Thursday morning? I had a very early rise this morning (4:15am) to get up and head to work (had to make up some time).

Funny thing has occurred since we have moved (about 50 miles away from our previous address) and since we have, we have had a kid(s) (ages 19-21) from our old neighborhood at the house almost everyday since we left. Last night for instance, we had 5 of them there. They're following us....lol!

Lisa and just sort curled up on the couch together, later on in the evening in front of the fireplace sort of getting a chuckle out of all of it. Here we are, moved away and they're driving 50 miles just to come and hang out with us and our kids. We bought them all Pizza and subs and let them spend the night if they wanted to. We just sort of feel good that they like us that much and still want to be around us....They come in the door, run over to us, hug us and sit around and talk to us for awhile, makes us feel like we are doing something right~:wink:

Good night to all! :-) Hope everyonehad a wonderful day and stayed warm.

We bought a car. Not much "shopping" for me once away from my computer thankfully, because I can't stand shopping of any kind LOL. We wanted first gas economical, with great user ratings and solid engineering, with comfort for long drives and preferrably all wheel drive. I made my spreadsheet and compared. We then drove to the Subaru dealership, sat in the Impreza for about a minute and said, "Okay, where do we sign?" The salesman didn't even have time to give us his his whole spiel. LOL

The only others in that class were the Ford Focus which we rented for months and hated and the Chevy cruze which we rented and loved, but doesn't come in an all wheel drive. If the Impreza wasn't comfortable or built well we would have gone with the Cruze.

Hope you all have a very merry evening!! :-)

That is really sweet . They obviously adore you all. It's great that you have not moved to far away and they can still visit, your kids must be happy about that to. Hope it isn't to much of a long day for you at work.
 
Good morning all. Today I'm off to conflict mediation training. I'll be there tomorrow, then I have to do ten hours of conflict counseling while under supervision. After that, I can apply for my certification. My agency is paying for it all, and I think it will look good on my resume so I'm excited about it. But I may not be on today as much. So, I wish everyone a great Thursday!

LOL I do a bunch of reasearch first to narrow down quickly. All it comes down is going and physically getting in the car to make sure it's comfortable. I had also researched their inventory to see what they had to know which one we would be interested in. Not many Subarus in central Florida so it made it pretty easy. It was their or another place 2 hours away. Even other local lots didn't have any newer used models with low mileage.
