New Car, New Chairs, NO MONEY!!!

I've been driving the 4Runner for almost a week now and love it. It is so much smoother and more powerful than the Xterra! I have really enjoyed it so far and from what everyone says, they last forever and Toyota offers great service! We also got our dining room chairs in last weekend. They make the house look much more complete! I still need to get a rug, but the thought of spending any more money is just so daunting! We are having my parents and Michael's parents over for Easter, so my goal is to have the rug before then - hopefully! Any ideas on where to purchase one that is VERY inexpensive?!?! We are still trying to sell our property and now the Xterra as well. Uggg... I just wish one of them would sell soon:) If you know anyone interested, send them my way! Oh, and of course, I have some more announcements:

1) Terah got engaged Monday, February 19. She is planning to get married the first weekend in August!!
2) Our friends, Ben and Beth, announced they are pregnant and due in Sept. with their first child! Yay for them!

Valentine's Day

Yesterday was Valentine's Day! My husband and I had a wonderful evening together. We coooked steaks (yummy!) on the grill and had a homemade cake for dessert. I had 2 slices of cake and still feel like a cow today because of it! But, I think it was worth it!

Oh, and exciting news, we bought a car yesterday. We got a Toyota 4-Runner! We get to hopefully pick it up this afternoon. I am super excited! It is the sport addition and is silver (to hide the dirt b/c I don't clean cars very well or very often).

Let's see, any new exciting news. Oh yes, a few announcements:

1) Our friends, Reid and Nancy, are having a GIRL in June! Yippee!!! They have an 18mo old boy right now.
2) Our friends, Michelle and Jamie, are having a BOY in July! Their first child:)
3) My cousin, Lauren, and her husband are putting together a 5k race for a charity they started! Good luck and congrats on everything happening with that!
4) NASCAR STARTS THIS WEEKEND...Hehe, I am such a redneck:) I am super excited, though. We have already bought tickets to 2 races this year!
