Our New Toy!!

We are loving the new car! At least until the first note!! Ha Ha! Really though, its a great car. We've had our eye on this make/model for some time now and just recently had the opportunity to head over to the local Ford dealer and make it ours. The color (Creme Brulee) was only available in the 2008 models, we were grateful for this because it gave us the opportunity to get more features and a lower price for a previous year. Its a great ride, you barely notice the horrific Massachusetts road conditions while cruising around. It has all the extra features, its so much fun to drive. One of the features we love is the enormous sun roof, it spans the entire front half of the vehicle. Well, enough talking, were going to go drive some more! (Posted by Will)

Taking a Break!

Good afternoon! Yay!! The day is almost over!! I really don't have anything special to write about. I have been super busy at work and decided to take a much needed break. So, I thought I would take the time to update everyone. Here are the highlights...

* We finally got to pick up the new car last night! I won't bore you with all the drama we had to go through to get it. I will tell you that it was worth it!! This is the first time I have ever had a new car! There are no dents or scratches(yet, most of you know that my driving record is less than perfect), there are no strange noises or rattlings, and most important, every time I put the key in the ignition I know its gonna start!! If for some reason it doesn't start, its under warranty! Also, this is probably the only new car we will ever get so I'm definitely going to savor the moment!

*I'm sick of snow and cold weather. Yep, I'm done! People said it would get old and is has. It was fun and exciting at first. We got all bundled and played outside, drank hot coco, and took tons of pictures. My heart sinks when I see snow in the forecast. Take me back to hot and humid TEXAS!!!

* Will and I have both settled in nicely at church and work. The ward we go to is so great and there are tons of members that live at our apartment complex. I'm really starting to enjoy my job. I'm learning new skills and it has helped us so much financially. Will is working hard protecting our waters! I worry about him but so far things have been pretty quiet

*We are planning a trip home in June. Nothing is set in stone yet. The reason we chose June is because its Will next opportunity to take leave and I can't take off until after tax season. Then Jake comes home in August so I'm going to try to go see him then. I can't believe that we have been in Massachusetts for almost 4 months! That is crazy!!

Well, that's all the free time I have left! Back to work!!

P.S. I wrote this yesterday at about 3:00 pm!

Suberbowl Sunday!!

Wow!! What an exciting game! As sad as we all were for the Cardinals, I must say they didn't go down without a fight. Oh well...better luck next year! These are some of our new friends! You will see them in our blog quite often. Staring at right; Marissa, John and Katie, Jared, Ashlee and Hudson, Mike and Cher, Me (Will is taking the pic), Meagan, Ryan and Jase, Ethan and Laura (not in this picture). We really love it when our tiny apartment is filled with people!! OK. I need to say something. I was not impressed at all with the halftime show. On the news and radio people were raving about it. Someone please tell me what I missed! And were the officials in a competition to see who could throw the most flags!!! I was really impressed by some of the commercials. However, some companies would have been better off flushing that 3 million down the toilet!! All in all, good game, good food, good people, and good party!
