Alright so we sold the jeep, weird thing is that the guy who flew down from Fairbanks to buy the jeep was the same guy who originally bought it from the dealer, small world huh! We bought a 2004 chevy cavalier, it has 50K miles on it and it is a 5 speed. It is the plain jane base model but hey it gets 37.5 miles to the gallon so we are happy. It needs a new drivers seat, cause the guy broke it about a month ago, but it still works you just sit way down in it like you are a little gangster wanna be LOL. So imagine Dave and I driving around town, all slouched down in the seat with our 80's hair band music playing lol!! Yeah so we haven't come up with a nickname for the cavalier yet but, we will. We informed Krista that this will be her car in 2 years so she needs to get very familiar with it. She is very excited, so Ashley started calling it the UMPA car, as Krista's new nickname is umpaloompa (after the charlie and chocolate factory short people) lol. We tease Krista that we are going to get her a personalized license plate that says UMPA and put it on her car before her 16th birthday lol. She however did NOT think that was funny!! I keep telling Ash that UMPA is catching up to her in height so she can't call her UMPA for long lol. Ash has officially stopped growing at a whopping 5'7" tall and Krista at 14 is officially 5'4" so I told Ash that in 3 years UMPA could be taller than her, Ash didn't think that was funny LOL. Oh well!!!
David, Krista and I have been painting Krista's room a fabulous color of red. Bright, bright red, like a lipstick hooker red or as David calls it Corvette red (same color as his nova) so it is really, really bright! David said it gives him a headache just being in there! Krista loves the color so I figure hey, I can just shut the door and at least it is not black! That is what she wanted to paint it, David and I said NO!!! We are going to get chalk board paint and let the girls paint the back of their doors so that their friends can write messages on it when they come over. The girls are very excited about that, they can't wait.
Other than that we are still looking for a dining table and are trying to find a normal plain jane Oak dining table that won't break when you look at it or put food on it, again surprising what people think is a "good solid" table LOL, solid in which fantasy world is what I would like to know! So far we are just keeping our eye on craigslist and the used furniture shops in town, so far nothing yet, but we are hopeful!
Well got to run. I will try and post pictures of Krista's room and the "new" car aka the UMPA mobile when I get a few minutes lol!!!
We miss you all!!!
