So we found out last week that my car was dying, for real this time. We've gotten it fixed several times in the past but was told this time that we needed to get rid of it right away while it's still running because something really serious was going wrong. So we took their advice and started looking at reviews and the local car selection and figured out our price range and maximum miles and such. We went to the dealership on Saturday with not a clue what we were going to look for but feel it was made evident to us through a few different signs and we got a new car! We ended up buying a 2006 Chevy Cobalt. It's been a lot of fun to drive, and a whole lot different than my Grand Am. I wanted to get better gas mileage than I was getting before so I didn't even mind, I even prefered, to get a 4 cylinder engine instead of a V6. The best thing about the car though in our opinion is the color! Booya! It's orange! It's a deep orange color thats really cool looking. We both really liked it at the time and still really like it now! :-) So our first car buying experience went really good!! Yea!!
We've decided on a vacation destination and are going on vacation for a few days next week! We are REALLY excited to get away for a few days to kick back and have a good time. We're going to the Dells and don't have a whole lot planned, but do have one thing planned. We're going to this awesome golf course over there to play a fun long 18 holes, then stay overnight and get pampered by their wonderful "Couples Golf Package". The course is actually a pretty well known course. It has all sorts of holes from famous courses out there that professionals have played on and made it all into one course. It's pretty awesome. We decided to stay overnight there and soak up being pampered. The hotel room is about 1000 square feet and is absolutely gorgeous! We're in need of a much needed break, so Kira is actually going to be staying with my parents down in Albert Lea, so it's just going to be the two of us which is pretty flippin sweet! We're really excited and looking forward to a fun time away.
We went to the state fair again on Sunday with the Coopers. It was good fun but I tell ya, it felt so good to sit down, my feet hurt so bad. Cooper bought chocolate covered bacon and shared it with us. I have to admit, I wasn't impressed. It just didn't go together like I thought it would have. I think if the bacon was crunchy, it may have been better, instead the bacon was a bit chewy and not that great. But I did get a smoothie, a pronto pup (aka corndog), and some fresh salt water taffy. It was all awesome! I love fair time, although it does get pretty expensive.
Well...all is going well with the Marlin's. The pregnancy is still going well, the belly is definately getting bigger! We'll keep you posted with anything we find out! :-)
Take Care!!
Have a good week!
