Our new Vehicle

It has been quite a week! We left on Thursday to go to CA to look at/buy a vehicle that we saw on ebay. It was also our 10 year anniversary so we planned to combine that with a couple of days vacation with no kids. But it didn't end up to be as relaxing a time as we planned. We did stay on the ocean, in Oceanside, CA and walked up the beach for a ways, which was very nice ... and beautiful!! Weather was alot cooler than in AZ! But... the WHOLE day on Friday was spent at the bank and running between the bank and where the vehicle was (1 1/2 hours each way)-3 times. We went with a preapproval, and thought that it would only take an hour to finish off the paperwork, but didn't close by 5:30 bank closing time. We ended up scraping together the funds from numerous places just to get the vehicle home so we didn't have go home, then back again to pick it up. Anyways, it was all worth it, as we really do like the vehicle. It is an 05 Yukon Denali.

The kids did really well, it was their first time without us for overnight. We left them with Anita Schwan, someone who goes to our meeting. She said there were no tears at bedtime, which was what I thought may happen (for Kylee anyways) Devon and Kylee both said they had lots of fun and wanted to do it again sometime! So.. we will have to go somewhere else for our 10 year sometime :)
