my new baby


Well since I have been in Arizonia, it has been a whirlwind of activy, My Dad has been helping me finally get my drivers licence and then this last firday we began the search for a new car..I never relized how hard this can be..and how funny my dad is.so the search began with each of us just a few feet from each other me in the office on my computer-Him the garage on his..Now for me I wanted to sit side by side and go over each one...but him being the internet expert wanted ot do it this way...so the hunt began...I would find a listing sent it to him, the replys would come back...too many miles, too old. too big. too small, too expensive, and on and on..one rely said 3:30..I delted it by accidentand quickly went back...and before i knew it we had a appointment to look at a car...Dad had told me the guy passed all the questions so that was a good sign...he was on time to meet us so that was good too, he drove up and I was excited, nicer than I imaniged by far!...So My dad checked every inch, the vin numbers and the works and we tok it for a spin...I wasn't sure the whole time if it would get his apporoval or not but I knew if it did it owuld be a good car!...before I knew it we were headed home with my new baby!!
Friday felt so surreal! I kept peaking out my bedroom all night to make sure she was still tehre and Saturday went out to check again...yup it really was there!...Saturday I went to the driving lessons and passed the permit test wiht flying colors...even got a 100% Wahoo!!!!..Now the challenge begins with driving expereince...Today I gave her a good bath and Boy she sure looks pretty glistening in the sunlight!..Eve nmade my first car realted purchase as a offical car owner...it's very first airfreshner..LOL!

The big change!

IT sure is funny how fast your life can change, On a regular day in may I came home from work, had dinner, took care of my cats and decided ot get online-there was a message fro mmy dad "you online?" I was able to reach him after a little bit and he presented me with a opportunity I didn';t think I should refuse...72 hours later I was relocated to Tucson AZ...what a whirlwind of activity it was. Saturday found the whle idea so exciting that I didn't have time to really think it all out- My Firend KEnt helped me get a uhaul (I got a great deal-even found a truck that needed to go back to AZ so the rate was about 75%off! YEAH!) my great friend Jenny came over to help Saturday afternoon- we sorted boxes and the nwent to dinner (olive garden) and took pictures around downtown salt lake. The evening went by in a blur. Sunday ws busy saying goodbye to friends and shooting pictures wiht the parrys, posting things to sell and give away on KSL and a whirlwind of activity. Monday found me fratically running around to finalize thigns and wiht alot of help from friends and strangers we were headed to Tucson at abut 11:30 pm monday night. The trip to tuscon was interesting and took over 26 hours...3 yowling cats and a driver who was scared of the freeway..stay tuned for the next chapter....
