our new adventure.

Today in Utah it is a holiday...Pioneer Day. The celebrations are a lot like the 4th of July. Fun right? Um, that is what we thought before this happened...I had to work, and was away from my desk when a fellow co-worker came to find me in the warehouse. I can't remember what he said, but something a long the lines that Paul is stranded because your car blew up. Just freakin' peachy! Paul and I always have something bad happen like this on a holiday or a weekend. Maybe we are just lucky like this. =)
Our "Old Blue" is just that, OLD. We have driven this car for the past 9 years, and it probably has 300,000 miles on it. We would know exact miles, but the speedometer quit working approximately 4 years ago...oh, and we didn't fix it.
We knew that this was the end to "Old Blue". We headed straight to the Larry H Miller to our guy Wayne. We bought our new "Tango", and sold "Old Blue" for $1. {tear}
This was not in our plan for at least another year, but I do have to say that Wayne made everything smooth, easy, and fun. We had just bought the "Silver Bullet" from him a year ago, and he is familiar with Paul's forceful, quirky ways! (How funny are these two together? Paul and Wayne aka GREATEST Sales Guy!)

Of course Van's favorite part of the experience is ALL the free popcorn and soda that she could handle in 4 hours.Oh, and you wanna know what my favorite part was? It was definitely not signing on the dotted line for an expensive purchase that was unexpected...it was what I found in their vending machines!!!We left our car stranded on the side of the road, and I cried all the way home. It was like those harzard lights were telling me not to leave "Old Blue" behind. We have made so many memories with "Old Blue"...Disneyland, Washington, San Fran multiple times, so many trips to Idaho, and lets not forget we brought our Van home from the hospital in "Old Blue". We are starting a new chapter with "Tango". With that new decade of memories we are going to make, we start off by annoucing that Baby #2 is 6 weeks in the making.I wanted to keep our new baby a secret, but apparently Bri/Vin doesn't want it to be that way! This was taken at 5 weeks...
Some of you might have thought I was going crazy by cutting Coke out of my regular diet, but I don't want to get the baby addicted too early. LOL
We are excited, especially Van. We look forward to our Spring babe. =)
