Welcome a new member of our family....


It's true...Jen FINALLY retired Montana, her 1994 grey (actually, purple) Honda Civic....with 194,000 miles on it. Despite the timing belt fiasco of last month, it's still in great shape and I'm pretty sure she would have driven it into the ground if the air conditioning still worked!!

But, goodbye is goodbye--and on Saturday, we welcomed our newest pants family member home. Meet the 2009 Jetta SportWagen. (When you don't have kids, you have to celebrate the small stuff!) After ordering a version of this car, which was set to arrive sometime in December or January, we were overjoyed to get a call on Saturday that there was a car waiting down at the port...and it was nearly identical to Jen's order! So, she was willing to go with blue instead of grey - and a match made in heaven was born.

To celebrate, we promptly had our first road trip. On Sunday we drove to Yakima (forsaking even NFL football games!) ... to see the sun and buy a couch. Next weekend we'll drive back and pick up said couch.
