First, Dave and I decided it was time to buy a new car. By new I mean "newer than my 1990 Honda Accord"... We looked into a bunch of cars and decided we wanted a PT Cruiser. I never in a million years ever thought I'd want a PT Cruiser. They're so odd looking... and functional?! Really?!!! OHMIGOSH... they are amazing! So... Dave and I went PT Cruiser shopping. We found a few... and then.. we found the ONE! Oh... bright cobalt blue... 70,000 miles... for $5,500? Really?!! What a steal. So... we buy the thing! One exception... they had to replace a sensor. NO big deal right? Well, the sensor didn't connect to the computer which meant they had to replace the computer. It was put in our contract that they had to replace and reprogram the computer which was great because we weren't liable to pay for it. Two Saturdays ago, I took our new PT Cruiser to the Larry Miller Dodge dealership to get the computer replaced. Jake and I waited 2 1/2 hours. Keep in mind, Jakey pooped all over himself (literally... I had to throw away his onesy) only to be told the Cruiser wouldn't connect to the new computer. So... We had to wait 2 more days for a new computer to arrive and be installed. Ugh... but okay. Tuesday rolls around... 2nd new computer won't connect as well. Double UGH... EXCEPT... they put the old one back in which had nothing wrong with it and worked great! We reluctantly pick up the Cruiser, take it home, start it up the next morning and the stinking engine light came on. So... needless to say, I made the dealership give us back our money. SUCH a BUMMER!!! So... we're waiting a few more months to look again. Third, Dave's parents are going to be returning from their mission in a couple of months. You know what that means, right? We have to pack our stuff and get out! Okay... that sounds a little harsh... my mother-in-law offered to let us stay if we wanted, but we feel like its time for us to move on. We found brand new apartments being built that are SO nice... The price is right, the size is perfect (I'm looking for small!!!), its right off the freeway and close enough to our amazing daycare... It's awesome! Now.. if I can get my non-committal husband to agree (which he kind of already did...) we'll get this thing signed, sealed and pack'n! We'll be the proud renters of a new apartment, ha ha! For us, that's pretty impressive...
So... that means we have two months to get our stuff organized, packed and ready to go and my in-law's stuff back in perfect place. We've occupied almost every room in that house. It's ridiculous... and you know I have a mental "to do" list swirling around in my head which STRESSES me out... I finally sat down and made an actual To Do list. 4 pages worth of CRAP! It's kind of scary! With photography and two weekends of house-sitting... we'll have to squeeze as much work into the few weekends we've got left. If you asked Dave about this... he'd probably just roll his eyes at me! He'll thank me when everything is organized and ready to go in September! Right?!!!
Fourth... we have silly things to do... for instance, I bought two end-tables off from Craigslist. They need to be painted. I also am in the middle of finishing up Jakey's crib bedding. It's turning out so ADORABLE and once it's all finished, I'll be sure to post some photos. His room, once we move will be amazing. I can't wait! Oh... and like I mentuned before, we have two weekends of house-sitting...
I saw this on Pinterest... it made me laugh... only because it adds to my list of stresses:
Now that I'm done stressing everyone else out, I can tell you... from the bottom of my heart.. this little face takes every ounce of stress away! I cannot help myself!!! Those cheeks... TO DIE FOR! I promise... every stress I have ever taken on.. is all worth it because of this little guy. Oh.. and Dave. He's cool too. Ha ha!! (LOvE you Babe!)!!
