Good evening,
Just read through the posts pretty quickly, I am trying to get to sleep earlier than I have the last few nights.
We did it!!!! We bought a new car!!!! We agreed to a deal last night while we were at JP's baseball game, the payment is higher than we were anticipating but we still got a heck of a deal, and our interest rate is a lot lower than we were anticipating.
We are glad this whole ordeal is past us, and we picked it up earlier tonight.
It is a 2014 Chevy Spark, we went with new because of the lower interest rate and warranty, the used all had higher mileage, and we were leery of financing for a certain number of years and having it poop out on us before the term was over.
So after all the test drives we went for the little zippy car.
We test drove and looked at:
Chevy Sonic Hatchback
Chevy Cruze
Honda Civic
Saab 9-3 (I really liked that one, but the mileage was very high)
Nissan Xterra
a few more too, I just can't remember.
Here it is: (the black one)
Just so very happy this is done. It has been weighing on us since February.
Thank you all for the words of encouragement throughout the whole process, some days it really helped when things looked so bleak.
Today would have been my mother's 60th birthday, so it has been a little bittersweet in that regard. I miss her dearly.
Morning will be here too quickly.
Good night, everyone.
Congratulations on the new car! I'm so happy for you (((HUGS)))
Good Morning and Happy Friday Victoria!
Good morning, MMC!
Hope you all have a blessed day!! Happy kickoff to the weekend!

216 days till Christmas day !
174 days till the most wonderful season starts !
The half way mark to Christmas day is within sight, just over a month to go,
we will soon crest the hill and jump on our toboggans for the slide down to Christmas.
this is a shot from the original down hill fun, the first countdown race. Do you know who they are?
Have a great day everyone !
Tomorrow Crown returns to continue the count, welcome back !

I would be the same way. It is hard not to worry when you are in the situation and it involves someone you love. I hope after a few days you will feel peace of mind.

Merry Morning!!! Happy Friday!! Another week over and another week closer to the season.....lifts my spirits just to think.
I am having a cup of Earl Grey tea that I got from the Tea Shop. It is so fragrant, probably the best I have had! I needed it this morning! Yesterday I emailed a query to a retailer only to receive such a rude response waiting in my inbox this morning!! Anyway, I won't waste any more of my time over that!
It is so cold and rainy here and will continue to be over the weekend. I hope you all have a nice weekend planned. Have a good end to the week everybody!

Good morning!
We are expecting more rain today with temperatures in the lower 60's.
I can't believe it's Friday already, this week flew by. One week from today we will be bringing my daughter to her college for orientation, EEK!
I'm going to be in and out today. We have another doctor appointment this morning, just a routine appointment for my middle one. I also need to run to the butcher and then the party supply store to pick up a few things for Memorial Day. And I promised my youngest I would take her for a Henna tattoo after school. I told her it better wear off before prom & graduation! Other than that I will be working on chores around the house.
I hope everyone is well and has a Happy Friday!!!

Your cup of tea sounds lovely. I have been drinking a lot more tea lately, and I've really been enjoying it. I still haven't given up my morning cup of coffee though!
I hope you stay warm & dry and have a wonderful day!!!

Warm up with your Earl Grey tea & enjoy, friend~

Thank you!
Orientation at the college will just be for the day. She'll be heading back at the end of August, it's going to be tough for me! I feel like I was just putting her on the bus for kindergarten!
