We bought a new car! My scion had been paid off for almost a year when we decided it was time. It started out as being my new car since we planned on selling the Scion Xa to my parents. We test drove every SUV under the sun. It finally came down to the Nissan Rouge and the GMC Terrain. The Nissan was a nice car but it did not offer as many bell and whistles as the GMC. We bought the metallic black in the GMC Terrain. It is a really nice car. However, the car has become Garrett's full time car. Don't get me wrong, I love the car but it is huge! I was driving something more like a micro machine and have bumped up to some kind of monster truck! We are considering buying a new Scion that I can scoot around in and selling our Mercedes. Time will tell where that story ends. As for now, I love riding in the new car and Garrett loves driving it.

Thanksgiving and Grandmas birthday!
Let me start by saying that I love Thanksgiving! I like it way more than Christmas! I think it is awesome that in this country we celebrate and give thanks for what we have been given. I really enjoy the time that is celebrated with family and friends. Christmas is a great holiday and if there was more focus on its true meaning in our society than I would probably like it more, but I feel like Christmas shopping and peoples focus on presents takes away from what Christmas really is. Thanksgiving has no expectations and is therefore WONDERFUL! I really enjoy celebrating my thankfulness for what God has provided for me and my family. I love that people are Thankful and that they take this day to remember what they have. Thanksgiving was great at both my parents and Garrett's parents house this year. It was very relaxing and exactly the kind of day that reminds you of everything you have to be thankful for. It was also my Grandma's 89th birthday! It turned out to be a very nice, quaint party for her that day as well.
