New car(s)

We bought a new Ford Escape Monday before last. Then we took it back and bought a Subaru Outback. I'll tell you what, we got a MUCH better deal on the Subaru when we pulled up in the Escape and said ... "We got a GREAT deal on this Escape, but we'll take an Outback with less miles if you can beat the price."

Well, Subaru beat the price, and did it with a lower mile vehicle! So, good.

We hope and pray that it will be a safe, long-lasting family car.

And it looks pretty good too.

Ready?

car seat - check
booster seat - check
crib - check

you'd think this would make us more ready.

not really.

the saga

Krista and I have not had so much luck when it comes to cars over the course of our marriage. We're in the process of losing my Maxima, which is sad. There are a lot of great memories in that car, but we need one that doesn't randomly die out on the freeway (only a minor problem on LA freeways).

Right now our plan is to one-car-it until the baby comes! Once that happens Krista won't need to jet around too much ... at least not for awhile.

We love a challenge!

happening

It looks like my Nissan is dead.

Krista and I are having a baby boy.

It should be unbelievably clear which one I'm more excited about.

future

It seems there's some confusion out there ...

Krista and I are not scheduled to move anywhere at any time yet. We MIGHT be moving when and if Krista gets accepted to an internship. If she does, then we'll either be moving to Spokane or staying in So. Cal. Either way, we won't know anything until March.

Regardless of what happens, we will not be going anywhere until late August/early September.

Questions? Feel free to comment.

Sometimes ...

you just have a craving for a cookie.

(and a glass of milk)

Back to it.

Well, it's been a long break, but it's time to jump back into this blog thing. Instead of rehashing the last bunch of months, I think I'll just start here.

1. Krista and I are having a boy in April. Yes, we know his name. Sure, I might tell you. Then again ... it may already be posted on Krista's blog. Who knows?

2. A car shot off the road by our church and almost went straight into the sanctuary. Luckily there was this really tiny tree that stopped it.

3. I'm back in classes ... sweet. I'm back in classes right now as a matter of fact.

4. Brother Rob and sister in law Kate are still in Iraq. We're still praying for and thinking of them.

More to follow.

oh ... and happy new year.
