Wicked Awesome Weekend

This last weekend was a great weekend for Nick and I. On Saturday I had the opportunity to go down to SF to see Wicked with a bunch of the women in my family. I had heard some of the music and knew the basic story line but that was it. It was incredible. I loved everything about it and was excited about how the original story was mixed into this new version. It was a lot of fun to share the experience with most of my sisters, aunts, cousins and grandma.

Even more exciting than Wicked was that Nick passed the Physical test for admission to the CHP academy. We had been pretty stressed about it and were so grateful that not only was it fianlly over but that he had been successful. He had his interview with the panel yesterday and so now it's more of the waiting game to see how he did with that. I don't have any awesome pictures to show from Nick's test, because they frown upon that but here are a few from after Wicked.

New To Me Car...

My Cavalier is getting pretty janky. This last week after work it overheated, blew a fuse and started spraying coolant all over the place causing stream to seep out of the bottom of my hood. We replaced the fuse and hoped that it would be alright. I barely made it to Auto Zone the next morning before my coolant light went off, not surprisingly since I was there to get coolant. After that it overheated again on my way home...All this is a long way of saying that the decision was made to get me a new car.

Last night after weeks of searching online and some serious loan drama Nick and I headed off to look at a car that we both liked and thought was a great deal. I ended up driving my husband crazy and loving the car! We got a 2001 Toyota Highlander 4x4. I still love it after driving it around all day today and am excited for the little extra love Nick plans to give it. I still feel a little bit like it's a rental car but after we donate the Cavalier I think it will sink in more. It'll be weird to not drive around a Teal Cavalier. :)

This is it!

It doesn't have the money sticker anymore...
