good times!!
It feels good to be all grown up!

On a side note we booked our hotel and flights yesterday, we are way excited!! We hope to see you sometime between the 6-13th of March. We sure could use a few ideas of places to see. We have tickets for monday at the Poly-center and we are going to hit Pearl harbor one day, we need a few ideas for the other 4days we are there.
Love ya

My heart is swelling with pride for you! Congrats to you grown woman! We got a new/used car last night too, more to come on that we are in the process of de-furring the back seats, nasty!

And what a responsible choice. Carolla or Camry? Grown up you are! Having crashed a kia optima myself, in my opinion they pretty much equal butt. good call on the new ride.

Carolla is a dream car.

Stephanie said...

yes yes- thanks everyone!

it is a 2008 carolla- thomas drives all over the island all day long for his job so it was indeed a sensible choice (great gas millage and very reliable)...

i still have the poor little saturn for trips around laie or over to the doctor in kahuku- but someday soon-ish we will try and trade that in for something used, but good too. man, grown-up and sensible indeed. who knew?

Stephanie said...

oh and lizzie- it doesnt have a name yet. i will leave that up to t-dawg.

I too agree with what has been said... You are such a grown up! Last night Jeff and I were talking about what our next car purchase would be. Our "Queenie Bug" still has lots of life left in her, but we think our next purchase will be a Toyota Sienna or Honda Odyssey mini-van. Don't get too excited, that won't be for a WHILE! I love that I am married to a man who has no problem driving a mini-van. I think that's hot!

Sweet ride! We have a 2000 Camry that we LOVE. With the 3rd baby coming in June, we're gunna have to get a second car--something bigger. "I love what you do for me, Toyota!" (I hope that wasn't just a local commercial from when I was growing up or you'll have no idea what that jingle quote was about!)

Stephanie said...

oh no- i remember that clever jingle :)

melissa said...

you'll never believe whose clutch went out today. weird, huh? can i have your kia optima?

Stephanie said...

yeah, my friend saw it for sale already at the dealership... go for it!

Ali said...

oooh.... that's nice! I love it. Congrats... apparently toyota's last forever, that's what my geek husband always says!

Nate and Julie said...

We drive a corolla and love, love, love it! The gas mileage is indeed amazing. From Provo to Visalia on just 2 tanks of gas.Congrats!

lorieloo said...

um, so hi. remember me?=)
Danielle found me through Lindsey and I found you through Danielle...WOW YOUR A MAMA!!! so am I. aren't little boys the best? Your Ambrose is darling. I just spent the last half hour looking at pictures of him, reading your birth story etc.

Anywho. Howdy old high school friend. Good to hear about/from you!

how cool a brand new car. We have never had one of those. My parents always bought used. So I am especially impressed!

modestmuse said...

Yippee! You will love your Toyota. I've had 2 Fords and now a Toyota Rav-4 and I will never buy anything but a Toyota again. L-O-V-E it. Yours is so pretty and shiny!
