sugar, ah mini mini


well, i was informed last evening by hubs that i needed to update the blog. i didn't feel like i had anything really to share, but then i remembered...I GOT A NEW CAR!! well, i haven't gotten it yet, but we bought it and it is sitting in virginia waiting for us. we are the proud new owners of an off white mini cooper and i love it! matt says he's not sure if he can drive it without me in it because it's too much of a chick car. so, here's how the story goes. just in the past few weeks we've been looking at the possibility of getting me a new car. we decided to look into mini coopers because with gas just going up and up, we thought it might be a nice little car to get...and they're super cute! so we went onto cars.com and did a wide search for them. one came up that we really liked, but it was in virginia. so this past saturday we decided to make the road trip down there to see it and pretty much with the intention of buying it if we liked it. while we were driving down there we called up the dmv to make sure we could get a temp tag so we could drive it back up. bad news...they don't give temp tags to non residents in virginia. nut jobs. so, we called our friend and hero of the day, danny from DML, and he helped us figure things outs. basically, the people have to pay of the rest of their loan and then they will get the title. they will send it to us and we'll register it here and then matt's dad is going to drive it back here for us while he's in DC next week for business. so, it's hard knowing that we own it but can't drive it for another week or so. soon enough though. i will post a photo when we get it. and name suggestions are welcome.

so, besides that, i've been living in a crazy wedding world. traci and two of my best friends, ange and sarah, are all getting married within four months of each other. with showers, bachelorette parties, and planning for the actual weddings, it's been quite busy. but, i love weddings so much and will be sad when it's all over. it is a secret dream of mine to be a wedding planner. and i guess wedding photography as well...which i am doing one on june 7th! ange's not-so-sUprise bachelorette party is this weekend, so please pray it doesn't rain.

and, i'm super excited about next weekend. my mom, traci, and i are headed down to orlando for my cousin's graduation/family reunion. my mom's family is crazy and you never know what my aunt is going to make us do. matt won't be making the trip. he and my dad are making big plans though.

i am really bored today and am going to go find something to do.
