Weekend Update

Here we are again, and its been awhile. I look at this all the time, and while I post to Facebook alot, I don't to this...so I am going to take the time to do it today. Stephanie and I have been really busy with wedding things. We have since gotten our DJ and then we recently (last weekend) had our tasting for the reception. Stephanie is working on the hotel arrangements for pretty much 95% of our guests.

We also purchased a new car, as you can see on the top right of the page, or on Flickr. We looked everywhere for a 2009 VW Jetta TDI. It was hard to do, and they all basically said we would have to order one, and wait till Feb of 09'. We were ok with that but they told us that if they got one in, as long as we put down a deposit, we could get first choice on ANY TDi that came in. Well, we didnt wait long. We went to another dealer and they actually had the EXACT car we wanted, colors and options and all, on the lot. It had come in just a few hours before. So we drove it, all taped up still, then decided on it. That was Thursday...on Friday, we drove it home. On Saturday, we drove it to North Carolina, getting around 40mpg on a car that was not broken in yet. It had only 20 miles on it when we took delivery.

This weekend, we have to get hand controls added to it, so Stephanie can finally drive it, and then we are off to camp for the weekend up on the lake! Today, Stephanie went shopping with her mom, while I sat around with the dogs and watched Nascar. Everyone wins here at our house!

more soon....
