Ok, enough about that. This past weekend, Brandon and I took our first major husband-wife plunge and BOUGHT A NEW CAR! Here is a peek at what our new little whip looks like. I will be sure to get "new car" pictures once we pick it up tomorrow night (now the title is making sense??).
We went with the Jeep Patriot Sport, which is their lowest model but still offers the 4WD we wanted, it has the "power group" upgrade which means we have power windows and locks instead of manual (funny to think cars are even still made with crank windows) and of course some other nice features like Sirius XM Radio for a year, Bluetooth activation and a nice big trunk. One thing I am most looking forward to is letting our dogs ride in the trunk and not trash the rest of the car.
I am most looking forward to going down to one car. We've toyed with the idea for quite some time now of getting rid of both cars and getting one new one, especially since I work in the city five days a week and use a car roughly one weekend day. I was always the one to bring it up and generally the one to also back out of it, but we finally bit the bullet. I hated the idea of having two car payments since my car was not paid off and this way is going to save us not only that, but the insurance on the other car and many other things. I think we're going to be able to work it out quite fine and I am looking forward to saving that extra money!
So, that was our big weekend. Nothing else too crazy this weekend. We had our weigh-ins and B lost a whopping 9.6 lbs this week. Nuts! (I almost hashtagged that...to much Tweeting lately?). We're on to week two and hope we can stay on the wagon like we have been. It is SO much easier to do Weight Watchers together than when I was just doing it myself. Not as easy to cheat when we're both making meals that are good for us!
Check back later this week for some more complete new car pics. I also start my online summer classes this week so I'm about to start getting wicked busy, but I am totally ready to jump right into it!
Ta-ta for now!
