So, after seven years I decided to break down and get a new car....I like commitment. And, I don't like having a car payment. But, SUVs are so much better for road trips, car seats, and other things...so it was time to upgrade. I was not looking forward to car shopping, but I have to say, it was pretty headache-free. And, I ended up getting the very FIRST car I looked at online during my week of shopping. What can I say...I know what I want! I took the advice of Dave Ramsey and bought used, but seriously, with all the warranties and things you get these days, who cares? It's new to me, and that's all that matters! It's a 2010 Jeep Compass, and I love it! It has GREAT gas mileage, lots of room and it's no big that I feel like I'm going to mow over someone.

***Update on my dad's surgery***It went GREAT!! He surprised everyone, including his doctors. He had the surgery to remove the tumor on a Friday and was home on Monday night! He seems to be feeling much better, although his speech is a little more slurred than it was before. He will begin a month of chemo and radiation therapy shortly. We know the road is still very long, but he has proved how tough he is. We are so thankful for God's healing up to this point, and we continue to pray for good moments like we've had.
I'm starting a new baby-gift-craft this week, I can't wait to start on it and share it with you! Have a wonderful week!
