Wow, my blogging record has been less than desirable lately and since I can't think of any great story to tell, I'll just bore you with the highlights.
Highlight: The new car is great!
Lowlight: Last Saturday, going northbound I-15 we were traveling near a truck with large rocks...yep, one came loose and hit our windshield. Nice new crack. Thankfully it doesn't obscure our vision and we are leaving it for up to 2 years until our next state-mandated safety check before we replace it.
Highlight: Harold is rocking the house on his new diet/lifestyle change. He looks terrific and feels really good, too.
Lowlight: I'm holding steady because I have had such an affinity for ice cream lately.....
Highlight: Kids started school.
Lowlight: Soccer started as well. I love watching the kids play, but the schedule makes my brain wanna explode!
Highlight: Our summer was fantastic! Our trip to Oregon is still making me happy to think about.
Lowlight: There is none! Fall is bringing about some big birthdays and a celebratory mood pervails!
Highlight: I was released as Primary Pianist and called to serve as the Compassionate Service Leader.
Lowlight: Does this mean I have to be compassionate? Ok, I'm only slightly kidding. I love the CSL calling, I've done it before and I look forward to serving. I have been doing a lot of introspection on this subject and I'm looking foward to some spiritual fine tuning. (Not exactly a lowlight, is it?) The release from primary also puts me on the list to substitute as the RS pianist occasionally. This will also help me hone the piano skills!! Yay!
Highlight: Harold "fixed" our camera by replacing the batteries.
Lowlight: For real, I replaced the batteries right before it konked out! What the???
Highlight: Tonight is date night.
Lowlight: I have to work. Take out and a DVD!

New Car? Yes, yes, yes!
One week after turning over our little black car, we picked up our brand new (14 miles on it) charcoal gray Hyundai Elantra.
Yay, 2 working cars in the garage make me happy!
Having said that, our Sonata has to go into the dealer to get some recalls fixed. I hope after the two recall fixits that our two cars will be smooth riding for a very long time.

New Car? Nope.
Because I am so terribly sad about the car I owned for a 60 hours going back to the dealership, here is the story in short:
We made the deal for the new car based on getting 4500 in rebate from the government. You can only get the full 4500 if your car had a median MPG of 18 or below, ours was 18. The new car had to get 28+ median MPG. The new car, we thought, had 28. Nope, government said it was 27.
The car went back today.
I had to remove the pic from the post below, sorry, too painful.

Breaking News
We took the '99 Mercury Villager in to a Nissan dealership yesterday, traded it in, and got this little baby!
XXXXXX
Yay!!! It's a 2009 Nissan Versa, seats 5, is a tiny bit of a thing, but super roomy inside (for real!) and we got a smoking deal, thanks for Cash for Clunkers. Buh-bye old van. We loved you, but for the past two years you have become an albatross around our proverbial necks. C-YA later 160,000+ miles, hello 113! Yes, you read that right. Unbelievable.
