About me

My photo
Nicole
First and for most, I'm a newlywed and loving it! I got married to the love of my life, Mr Tyler Reitz, December 15th 2007 and it was the most wonderful day of my entire life. Every day Tyler and I are learning new things about each other and life together and we grow closer and closer each day. Of course we have our ups and downs, but I wouldn't change it for the world.

Merry Christmas!

Sunday, December 28, 2008

It's been a long time since I've posted, I know, but for some reason I couldn't get pictures on my blog anymore after Tyler messed with my computer one day, but then he figured out how to do it again and taught me, so yay :-)

Here is a picture of Tyler and I on Christmas and we hope everyone else had a great Christmas!
Tyler's sister Emily and her husband Kyle and their wonderful baby boy Maddox are coming into town tonight, so we are very excited to spend time with them and have our family Christmas with them tomorrow night!

MOVED!!

Sunday, November 16, 2008

Yay we've successfully moved and it's wonderful!! It was horrible though, because I got the flu 2 nights ago and was up all night (being sick) and then yesterday I had a stomach ache all day, so I couldn't be a very helpful unpacker, because I was really weak, and sick. But finally by the end of the day, I was starting to feel better, so we had a ton of help from lots of people, THANK YOU SO MUCH WHO HELPED!! So that was helpful and today we're going to unpack a bit more and then go over and have a family "thanksgiving/grandmas birthday" at the in-laws, so that should be fun!! So, as soon as I can find where I packed my camera, I will post pictures!!

Longest week of my life!!

Thursday, November 13, 2008

So, Tyler and I are moving on Saturday and we're SO excited! BUT... This week has been the LONGEST WEEK OF MY LIFE!! Usually my weeks are really fast, but since I'm looking forward to something really big, the week is dragging! 

The good thing though is that the guy that owns the house let us move a bunch of our boxes to the house last Saturday, so we got a path cleared in our apartment so we can walk through it again, because it was beginning to get very full with the boxes, and we've been moving a little each night since then, so at least we get to see it, and every time we go over, we talk about where things are going to go in the house, so thats fun. I just really hope that these next 2 days go by fast cuz I CAN'T WAIT TO MOVE!!! :-)

WE GOT THE......

Monday, November 3, 2008

HOUSE!!!!!!  Yayyyy! Tyler and I are SOOOO excited and can't wait to move in 12 days!! :-)

Oprah

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

I've begun to watch the Oprah show every once in awhile and the episode that was on today, I heard was going to be great, but I didn't get home from work in time to see it all, but I did see a part that made me CRY! Go watch the clip!

LIFE

Monday, October 27, 2008

Hello again! Sorry I haven't written a post in awhile, but I can't really think of anything to blog about anymore, but I do still blog... Just not as much :-)

So life is good right now... The babies at work have started to smile this past week and it's wonderful that they are beginning to smile and respond to us talking to them and such. I love it!
Tyler and I are going to Walla Walla, Washington this weekend, because my second cousin Amy and her daughter, who I've never met before, because they live in Paris and I haven't seen Amy in like 6 years, is coming to visit my Great Grandma, so we're going to see her too, cuz Tyler has never met her and I miss her! So I'm very excited for this weekend!
Also, Tyler and my lease is up the end of next month, at our apartment, so we are starting to look and see if we can find a decent priced house to start renting and we found an awesome house that is RIGHT on Boise Ave and we were talking with the owner to see if we could give him the deposit and he would hold it till we could move it, but he decided that he couldn't wait another month, and we found that out this morning, so we were kinda sad, but it's ok, BECAUSE Tyler randomly looked on Craigslist today for houses and we found an AWESOME one, that's in the North End of Boise, which we LOVEEEEE that area; it's our dream area to live in actually :-)
So we went and looked at it tonight and it's wonderful, so we told the guy, that same thing we told the Boise Ave guy, that we could give him the deposit and this guy seemed more ok with that idea and he said he'd get back to us within the week to let us know what he decides. So PLEASE pray for us, that if it's the house for us, he'll call us back with a YES :-) And we really love this house so we're really hoping he picks us!
So yea... That's life for Tyler and us right now. Just thought I'd update you all :-)

Tyler's FIRST Time Carving Pumpkins!

Thursday, October 16, 2008

Tonight Tyler and I carved a couple pumpkins each and I found out that it was his FIRST time carving them, so it was a very exciting night :-) We had lots of fun and here are the results!




Tyler thought the inside were gross!

Here they all are! Tylers are the 2 left ones 
and mine are the 2 on the right.

My Brother Jeff's Wedding Weekend in Portland

Sunday, October 12, 2008

Tyler and I just got home from a weekend in Portland for my older brother Jeff's Wedding that was on Friday night. We got into Oregon Thursday afternoon and that night my whole family went over to where Jeff and his new wife are now living and saw their new condo and just hung out for a few hours.
Then Friday morning all the grandmas and sisters and mom's and all the girls went shopping :-) at the mall that was right next to the hotel we were staying at and I bought a couple new pairs of shoes, one for Tyler and one for me, and I also bought a pair of pants from AE and a really cute day planner that I saw at Starbucks of all places. Tyler and all the guys went golfing that morning while we were all shopping and they had lots of fun doing that.
Then after I was done shopping and Tyler was done golfing, Tyler and I went to IKEA!! Yay! It was the FIRST time I'd been there, and him too, and I LOVEDDDD it. It was a long time coming going there and it was just as good as I imagined it would be! I wish we had one here :-( Maybe someday :-)
Then that night was the wedding and it was a LONGGG wedding/party and we were very tired when it was all over, but it was beautiful and very wonderful! I love weddings.
Then Saturday morning Tyler and I woke up and drove over to his sister Emily's house and we hung out with her, her husband Kyle and their cute, cute, cute son Maddox :-) We love seeing all of them, so it was really good to be able to have time to while we were over there! We had breakfast with them and then we all went to a pumpkin patch and picked some pumpkins and just hung out and watch Maddox run around and be cute :-)
Then after we were done hanging out with them, Tyler and I and my family went to the Portland Zoo and hung out there for a few hours, which was really fun too!
Then we all went to dinner at the yummy Macaroni Grill and then went back to our hotel and crashed from a very long and very busy couple of days, but it was a very fun weekend! 
Here are a few pictures of the weekend.

Leavin' for Oregon

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

My older brother Jeff is getting married on Friday night, so Tyler and I and my brother Mark and my sister Emily are all headed to Portland tomorrow morning and I'm super excited because I LOVE weddings and I LOVE Portland. Yay :-)

Tyler and I are also going to be able to see Tyler's sister Emily and Kyle and Maddox on Saturday morning and we're very excited about that too! :-) I think we're going to go to a pumpkin patch and pick pumpkins. Fun fun!
Then Saturday afternoon my whole family (except for Jeff and his bride of course) are going to go hang out maybe at the Portland Zoo or something fun all together, which will also be super fun! 
And then Saturday night we are going to go, hopefully, hang out with our friend Josh, who's from here, but just moved to Portland a couple months ago. So we're going to hang a busy day on Saturday, but it's going to be very fun! :-)
So that is what's going on tomorrow till Sunday and I'm bringing my camera, so I will post pictures when I get back! :-)

It's Been Awhile...

Thursday, September 25, 2008

So I know it's been awhile since I've blogged. I've honestly not been able to think of anything to write about, so I just thought I'd write about my life lately :-)

Tyler and I started a marriage class a few weeks ago and we LOVE it! It's called Dynamic Marriage and we're taking it through our church, The Vineyard, and it's a pretty intense class, we share with the class each week and the homework can be pretty intense, but Tyler and I love it! We've already learned so much from it and it's already growing our marriage, so it's great! :-)
Work has been going great lately! The babies are a little over 2 months old now, and they're beginning to act like "normal" babies. Crying more, and at the same time (grr) being awake more and just starting to interact with me and others around more, which is fun! :-) But they are wonderful, I wouldn't change my job for anything! It's such great experience and when I have my own it's going to be a piece of cake! It'll feel like I'm having my 3 child and I'm already an expert haha.
Um... My sister-in-law and nephew are in town right now and we had a family dinner last night and I love seeing both of them! Maddox is getting SO big and he's so fun and cute! :-) I wish they lived here, so I could see them more! Maybe soon?! ;-)
Tyler and I are going to go see the move Fireproff tomorrow night and we're really excited cuz we got to see a few clips from it at a marriage conference we went to a few months ago an it looks so good, so we're really anxious to see the whole thing! 
Also, Tyler and I have been working Wednesday night child care at our church and we're lovin that too :-) I think it might stress Tyler out a little bit, cuz there's so many of them hehe but we do love it. We work in the 1 1/2-3 year old class and the kids are so fun. :-)
I guess that's all that's going on right now... Hope my blog didn't bore you, but like I said, I can't think of anything to blog about anymore lol
Have a great Thursday!

9 Months!

Monday, September 15, 2008

Tyler and I have been married for 9 months today! I know most of the people that read my blog have been married for years and years, and 9 months isn't that long, BUT for Tyler and I 9 months sounds crazy to us!

So tonight Tyler and I are going to the movie Burn After Reading, which I'm so excited to see cuz I've heard that its hilarious, so hopefully what I've heard is correct. Has anyone seen it yet??

Sad Day

Saturday, September 13, 2008

Tyler and I have been married for almost 9 months now and we've never spent a night apart, and tonight we will spend our first night apart :-(

My brother Jeff is having his bachelor party in McCall this weekend and Tyler and my other brother Mark are driving up there this morning to spend the day, night and tomorrow up there, so I'll be all alone. It'll be weird, but good :-) I like doing stuff on my own too! 
Have a good weekend!

Oh Geeze!!

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Please go look at this blog RIGHT NOW and specifically if you are a girl, because girls will appreciate this more than guys, I guarantee it.

http://jenlschow.bigfolioblog.com/

After you click on it, look at her latest post and those pictures are of my nanny kids. The 3 1/2 year old boy and the twin 2 month old's, the lady came to their house yesterday and took them all and the ones that are posted are only a few of what she took. I can't wait to see the rest!

Let me know how much you freaked out after you looked at them because I'm pretty sure I've looked at them like 6 times since yesterday and still squeal with delight! :-)

Thursday, August 21, 2008

Baby Update

Monday, August 18, 2008

Today was the first full day that I worked with the new baby twins that came home from the hospital Friday. They are wonderful... I can't even tell you how much I love being at work. They're very, very good babies and they honestly didn't cry one today. They just fussed a bit before feedings, but honestly that was it! Awesome huh! :-)

I held them for most of the day, because now that the mom isn't on bed rest anymore she has time to play with her 3 year old, which she has been looking forward to doing for the past 5 months, but hasn't been able to.
I changed my first poopy diaper today and got to feed the little boy a bottle today. I love love love it :-)

Ugh I Hate My Hair

Wednesday, August 13, 2008

I have to show you two pictures. These pictures are compairing how LAME my hair is. I dyed it really dark brown about 3 or 4 months ago and look at it now. It fades SOOO fast and I hate it! Every color I've dyed it the past 3ish years its faded within months! I don't know what to do with it anymore :-( The second picture is the most recent picture of my hair that I have. And those are my 2 wonderful friends Elyce and Lexie :-)

Good Eatin'

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

So Tyler and I have been eatin' gooood the past couple days. I get a magazine once a month from my mother-in-law, which I LOVEEE, and it has great recipes in it! So I ripped out a few from last months mag and made 3 of them so far and they've turned out SOOO good! They've seriously tasted like restaurant food! (not to brag or anything) hehe

The first night we made spaghetti with broccoli and lemon and that was DELICIOUS and the next night we made honey chicken with grilled corn salad, that had corn, scallions, and butter in it and that was even more DELICIOUS and tonight we made, well Tyler made it for me, he surprised me with havin it almost done when I got home from work, which was VERY nice of him :-) but he made cheese ravioli with sauteed zucchini, and of course it was DELICIOUS too! I can't believe how well all three of those meals turned out, but Tyler and I can't wait to make them again and again!! :-) And they're only 20 minute meals too, which is really nice after comin home from work and having to make dinner. I love it!
And here's some pictures from the website (realsimple.com) so you can see how yummy they look!

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

I just ate yogurt and I put dry oatmeal in it and it was VERY good. I was looking for granola to put in my yogurt, but we didn't have any, so I tried the oatmeal, and I loved it. Soooo... if you don't have granola and you have yogurt and oatmeal, TRY IT! :-)

I know, I know...

Thursday, July 31, 2008

I know, I know, I haven't written a post in almost a week... Sorry :-) I honestly haven't really had anything interesting to write about, so I haven't. But my week has been great, I can't believe its almost the weekend again! My weeks FLY by even faster with my new job now, who knows why, but they do, and its great! :-) Tyler and I are going to a marriage conference on Saturday and I'm super excited, and I think (hope) he is too ;-) I LOVE going to conferences and classes about things, especially marriage and such, because I love learning new things and getting advice from people who have been married longer than Tyler and I have been. So I'm really looking forward to Saturday. 

Tyler and I have also been riding our new bikes lots lately and playing frisby golf as much as we can too, so we've been having lots of fun doing our new hobbies :-) But other than that, nothin has really changed. But I just thought I would update you on my life, since I haven't written in awhile. :-)
Oh... And I got paid today... That always makes the day a good one ;-)

Woohoo New Toys

Friday, July 25, 2008

So Tyler and I both sold our wakeboard's a couple days ago, so we decided that we can get new bikes to ride long distances and today we each got one. Yay! Here's mine :-)

I didn't get the red one that I wrote about in my last blog, cuz they never called us back, so Tyler actually found this one on craigslist today and it was cheaper too, so we did good :-)

New Bike Time

Thursday, July 24, 2008

If you haven't already read Tyler's blog about our new bike fetish... We have a new bike fetish   :-)

We both have cruisers right now and have for over a year now and they're super fun to ride, but I have always wanted to go on longgg bike rides, but the cruisers aren't very comfortable to ride for long periods of time, well I don't mind it as much as Tyler does. 
So... we've been thinking about getting road bikes, so we can ride on the Greenbelt for long periods of time, like I've been wanting to for a long time. So here's a picture of one that Tyler found today for me and I really like and hope to buy it. 

And don't worry (Shelley), we're NOT going to sell our cruisers, we love them to much and still will ride them around town lots :-)
BUTTTTT... If anyone can find this amazing bike anywhere, I WILL buy it and make Tyler ride it with me :-) (I found this picture on the front pg of my bank website) Haha

Baby Update!

Monday, July 21, 2008

Well... My nanny family had their little twins Friday night!! Horray :-) I found that out right when I got to work this morning. I guess they're both doing very well, just having a little trouble breathing, with is normal, cuz they're only barley 34 weeks old, but other than that no complications. I can't wait to see them! I guess they're not going to be able to come home for a few weeks, so until then, it's just me and Jack :-) which is very fun! But I can't wait to be able to work with babies every day!!

Busy Weekend

Sunday, July 13, 2008

It's been a busy, but SHORT weekend, and I don't like weekends like this very much. Ugh :-(

Friday night Tyler and I went out to Nampa for my friend Tiffany's wonderful baby Mya's 1st birthday party and it was so cute! I wish I would've taken pictures at it to post, but I didn't, sowey :-(
Then Saturday morning I had to go to a CPR/First Aid class for my nanny job (cuz we have to be certified to work with children) and I was actually not looking forward to it cuz it was a 8 hour class, but I actually really enjoyed myself! CPR/First Aid classes are SO helpful and teach you SO much! I would recommend taking a class if you haven't ever! Tyler and I are going to try and get into an infant CPR class soon to learn about that because infant CPR and adult CPR is a lot different! 
So after my class Tyler and I headed out to my old nanny families house because they wanted to have us over to thank me for all of my hard work with working with their 3 wonderful boys for a year and a half, so that was really fun! They made us amazing grilled shrimp, and AWESOME steak and beans and rice. It was probably the best dinner I have had in a longggg time! So good! But I already knew it was gonna be good cuz my old boss is a GREAT cook! While we were there we play RockBand, and I played it for the first time and ACTUALLY LIKED IT! Hahaha I never thought I would like it, but low and behold, I did and of course it made Tyler VERY happy :-) He wanted me to say that if anyone would like to buy it for us, go ahead ;-) And I just said haha ya right. 
Anyways.... lol.... Saturday was a long day, but it was very fun!
Then onto Sunday, Tyler and I went to church this morning, which we loved because our pastor was SO funny this morning haha. It was great! Then we actually sold Tyler's car today, horray!! We came home after church and posted his car on Craigslist and, no joke, literally 20 minutes after posting it, someone called wanting to buy it, so we figured out everything that we needed to do to sell it and finally sold it after like 3 hours of getting everything figured out. So yayyyyy! THEN we went to a going away party for our friends Karl and Stacy, but we only stayed for a bit cuz we still had MORE stuff to do lol. But we're now FINALLY just relaxing and watching tv. Boy what a busy weekend, but overall it was a really great weekend and I hope this week of work is great and goes by FAST so the weekend will come again :-)
Sorry so long, but I had a lot to say hahaha.

I've Missed You All!

Tuesday, July 8, 2008

Sorry I haven't written a stickin' blog in A WEEK! My bad :-) I've been super busy this past week. I started my new job and I'm still getting used to everything, because I DON'T LIKE CHANGE VERY MUCH, if you didn't know me well enough to know that. It takes me a while to get used to new things, even things as simple as getting a new job, it just takes me a while to adapt... sometimes a long while too. Jobs are very important to me too, and if I don't like my job it honestly effects pretty much everything in my life. I really do like my job, the family is great and the little 3 year old is great and I can't wait for the mom to have her twins in only a few weeks, but I've just had a hard time adjusting. I've get pits (stomach aches) in my stomach when I wake up before I go to work, but then when I go to work, I really enjoy being there, but then it's the same story the next morning. I hate it! So please just pray that I will adjust FAST to this family and stop getting stomach aches, cuz there's NO reason that I should be feeling like this and I HATE feeling like it!! :-)

I Miss My Boys!

Thursday, July 3, 2008

My new nanny family is WONDERFUL, but I definitely miss my old nanny boys, Parker, Ethan and Cameron. I do get to see them next Saturday though! Tyler and I are going over to their house and they're going to make us dinner to say thank you to me for all my help with the over the past year and a half, so I can't wait to see them then! :-)

11 Years

Today is the 11 year anniversary of when my mom died. It's a sad day for me, as it is each year, but its been a good 11 years of growing and becoming stronger from when it happened. It's so weird to think that it has been 11 years though... I miss my mom every day and can't wait to see her again someday in Heaven! :-)

Bike Riding

Saturday, June 28, 2008

So Kevin and Shelley, my new brother and sister-in-law, sold us some sweet bikes last year and Tyler and I love riding them around downtown Boise and such. I've now talked Tyler into going on longgg bike rides with me, which is really fun! Thursday night we rode our bikes uptown to the V-Com house up on Ustick for Amy's going away party and it took us about 25- 30 minutes to get there, and that was really fun. And then this morning we rode our bikes all the way up to the mall. I didn't think I'd be able to talk Tyler into doing it but I finally did. He said if we could get lunch at the mall he'd do it, so I said yes and we went :-) It took us like 45 minutes or an hour to get there, but it was so fun! It was pretty hot today so we got pretty sweaty, but I don't really mind because it was so much fun and pretty awesome that I could talk my husband into going on TWO long bike rides with me, because he likes riding them around town on short rides, cuz his butt starts to hurt after a little while. :-) Hmmm I wonder what I will be able to talk him into next ;-) When food's involved, I'm sure I can talk him into anything! Mwahahaha

Tryin' Not to Worry

I was supposed to hear from the nanny family I interviewed with by last night, but they ended up calling me, so I got a little sad and stressed last night, because I only have 3 more days of work with my current nanny family. The mom of this new family said she would call me wether they want to hire me or not, but they didn't call me at all. So even if they don't want to hire me, I would at least like to hear from them and have them let me know they don't want me, so I can start to look for another family to interview with, because currently I'm kind of in limbo and I don't like it. So please keep prayin for me, because I really need a family SOON!

Oh Ya...

Monday, June 23, 2008

I ended up having my interview with that new nanny family last night and it went REALLY well. They seemed to really like me and everything went just wonderful! They said they will call my by Tuesday night to let me know if they want to hire me or not, and if they decide not to, then I'm going to take it as a sign that this isn't the right family for me and try not to be bummed. They interviewed me and one other girl, so it's between us. So please just be praying for me and if this is the right family, that they will hire me and I won't be without work as of this coming Friday anymore :-)

I Did it Again!

I hurt my toe AGAIN! We got home from McCall last night and I opened the freezer and a frozen thing of meat fell out of our freezer right on my big toe. I cried a little, not as much as the first time though, but I still cried a little. Here's a picture, it looks a lot worse than my baby toe.



I also took a couple pictures from our McCall trip, mainly of Maddox because he's SO stinkin' cute and I'm so happy that I got to see him and Emily every day that they were here this time! It was awesome! And there's also one of Tyler with Maddox, after Tyler did Maddox's hair :-)

This post will make you laugh...

Thursday, June 19, 2008

Ok, I was contemplating on whether or not to write this post, but I decided that it was just to funny to not share with everyone, even though you might think Tyler and I are pretty dumb after you read it...... oh well :-)

Ok, so we were getting ready to leave for work this morning, and my keys weren't on my key hook. So I kinda started to look around and we opened the door and low and behold, my keys were still in the lock OUTSIDE our apartment door! When we got home last night and unlocked the door, I left my keys in the lock and closed the door. Oh my word! So I said PRAISE THE LORD no one broke into our house or stole our car. So we laughed a lot about it this morning and I said "Tyler we can't tell anyone that this happened. Its so ridiculous and embarrassing!" But then about a minute later, I decided that I had to blog about it, cuz its really funny. And then I thought to myself, I would only NOT blog about it, if our car was stolen or something, but since nothing happened, I'm definitely gonna blog! Haha So there's our stupid morning story for you! Hope you have a good day! :-)

Ohhhhhh Boy....

Monday, June 16, 2008

So... I broke my baby toe AGAIN tonight, or sprained or whatever, but it feels broken. Anyways, here's the story...

I was making dinner and Tyler and I were playing the Wii as our dinner was cooking and I went into the kitchen to check the potatoes that were boiling. As I was walking over to the kitchen, I SLAMMED my baby toe into Tyler's wake board that is sitting in the middle of the floor, along with mine. (The reason our wake boards are in the middle of 
the floor, is because we picked them up on Saturday from the Pro Shop, because they didn't sell, and we are lazy and haven't put them away yet). Anyways, right after I slammed my baby toe on Tyler's wake board, I proceeded to fall to the ground and started to weep. Yes WEEP! Not cry, or just shed a tear, I wept! It hurt pretty bad, but not as ba
d as how bad I was crying. My body just instantly wanted to cry, very hard. So I did, for about 5 minutes. And then I thought I was done, and then proceeded to weep again for about another 5 minutes. Tyler laughed and laughed, cuz, I have to admit, it was pretty funny how hard I was crying and I couldn't help it or stop. So thats what happened a bit ago, and I thought I would share it with everyone. As yes, its ok to laugh while you read this, because it's a pretty funny story :-) 
I made Tyler take a couple pictures of my poor toe, so you can see how red it is, and it's getting swollen and kinda purple now, and by tomorrow it will probably be even more swollen and purple. Yippee ;-)

Nanny Family Opportunity

So I might have a nanny family opportunity for me real soon. Its a family with a 3 year old boy and a mom who stays at home on bed rest, who is expecting twins sometime in the summer. The mom wants a nanny to help her with the 3 year old and then with her twins when they are born. I think it would be perfect for me because I have had experience with a 3 year old with the family that I am currently working with, and I really want to work with babies, so I would be able to get both age groups that I love. So please just pray for me and if this family is right for me, for them to love me and hire me and for it to be wonderful! I have worked as a nanny for a family with a stay at home mom before, and it was not a good situation, so I'm hoping that this mom is a lot better than the last family. I'll keep you updated, but just pray pray pray, cuz I REALLY want this family!! :-)

Sad Day

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

This morning I found out that I'm going to be no longer working with my nanny family as of June 27th. My boss told me this morning that he is going to have to sell his smoothie place because of some money complications, so he will no longer have a job, so they will no longer need me. I'm so sad :-( Its just so hard working with kids for almost a year and a half and then all of a sudden not be able to see them every day. Please just pray for me that I'll be able to find another nanny family to work with SOON, so that I can start with them right after I finish with my current nanny family. I hardly ever let myself get stressed out about money issues, but with losing my job, it starts to make me worry how long its going to be until I get a new job. So please pray that I will get into another nanny family fast and that the next nanny family I get will be just as amazing as the family I have right now. I am in love with the 3 little boys I watch and its going to be very hard to say good bye to them.

New Car!

Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Tyler bought me a new car last night, well technically its both of our money, but we like to say that he bought it because he did all the process with the dealer and the credit union, ect. So it was VERY nice that I didn't have to do any of the work for once, cuz buying a car isn't fun. I loveee it so much!! :-) Here it is! We call it my "sporty mom car" cuz we're gonna keep this car for a long time, so I'll be a mom driving it. And I kinda look like a mom right now with my nanny job, so its perfect ;-)
