And "The Hunt" continues....

That's right, folks. We are still searching for the perfect car. "Perfect" meaning, a car that looks okay, and will run for a long, long time. Here's to hoping we find what we're lookin' for...

We bid farewell to Widow Maker for good today. I know I already lamented... but I might add, it was hard to see her go! We got one last picture that I'll post soon... How nerdy are we? But we literally stood there hand in hand, staring with somber expressions as she was lifted on to the truck.  I'm sure the guy taking her away thought we were such an odd couple.

Tomorrow we head off for our trip to Disneyland. We get to road trip with Lorne's fun siblings Russ+Alysa, and Anna. It's gonna be fun to get away and have a little break! My day tomorrow will be filled with cleaning, packing, laundry, and more packing. We are SO excited! I wonder how well I'll sleep tonight...Having these adventures with my husband have been some of the best times. I hope I can take in every moment and remember the way things are when the days have come and gone. While I look forward to our future together (children, new jobs, hopefully more of an income, and CHILDREN!), I cherish the way things are now. It can be hard... just the other day I sat at my mom's kitchen table thinking about our money/car situation saying, "Mom. Being poor is hard." She lovingly said, "I know, but everyone has got to do it for at least a little bit". Who knows how long our "little bit" will be, but life is good.

It can be easy to get caught up in our plans for the future and I often catch myself day dreaming. I am reminded of Pres. Uchtdorf's talk about the five points of a Forget Me Not. We must not forget to be happy NOW. If you haven't read this talk yet, which I'd be surprised if anyone hasn't by now, I highly recommend clicking on the link and reading it. Refreshing! I think I'm safe to say... We are happy NOW.

P.S, like the new look? Blogging has much more to it than I thought... I want to learn more and more and MORE! Hopefully someday my blog will look even better...
