The New Addition…. AKA new ride!

Yes, it has finally happened. After us having one car for the first year of marriage we have made our first  “big'” purchase. It was super nerve racking I must say but now that it is over with not sure what all my stress was about, but I guess that’s part of being a woman.

We bought an 08’ Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4, and we love it. After going through the list of cars we wanted and what we could afford this is what it came down to. My biggest concern was enough space to put at least 2 kids in. No, this is not a pregnancy announcement and you will not see one of those on our blog for at least 2 more years. Glad we settled that! HAHA It has plenty of space to me and of course it has the 4wd, biggest request of Shane’s. I think we will get lots of good use and years out of this sweet Jeep. Where did we buy it you ask? We took the risk and went through the auction. It saved us probably a good $2500 to $3000. Good Deal!! That may have been part of my nerves, not being able to see it and just trusting the guy that it looked in good condition. We are super happy with our purchase and can’t wait to take him camping and on any road trip!

He was injured….injured bad!

I know that most of you blog about your children and what they are up to but since I don’t have any children my dog is as good as it gets story wise. So our sweet little mini dachshund had to go in for surgery last week to have a benign tumor removed from his paw. The poor little guy still days later refuses to put any weight on his paw, but has mastered being a 3 legged dog. Along with having a little surgery he got some weird skin irritation that he can’t seem to stop licking and scratching at. Let’s just say I have given him extra love this week. I am pathetic, he’s a dog I know! haha
