Random craziness of the day, it hailed here! But even stranger is only hailed here, not at the base. But that was all the better for our car :)

Our new car & some HAIL!
So today Joe came home with the new (used) car and it's really great!

And so the rain continues
Okay so I'm not exactly consistent with a blog yet .. but that just means I've got alot to fill in .. right lol
Since it's been a week, I'll try to remember everything ... well we decided to go ahead and get the BMW that Joe's been more or less begging me to agree to. It's more expensive than I would like, but it's reliable and that's a big deal so here we go! Joe amazingly got approved for a loan AND talked the guy down another grand so that helps!
We got news of our first guests, Joe's mom & step dad will be coming! I was told two or three months from now so May or June ... so the hunt for guest bedroom stuff has begun! As well as my mad dash to try & finish the house. Our walls are bare, boxes still laying around, tons of clutter to figure out, things just aren't ready & I'm already freaking out about it .. but my dad reminds me that everything will be fine and to just calm down! Gotta love him, especially when he's right.
So I'm going through EVERYTHING we own , organizing & trying to make some order out of our messes; needless to say we aren't ready. We need to get quite a few items. The guest bathroom doesn't even have a shower head! We need to get ALL the items for the guest bedroom and on top of that Joe's sudden distaste for the bedding we've been using means I'm trying to find some bedding that is Joe approved. I am also hunting for some furniture pieces for the house .. which are proving harder than they should be to find! (and more expensive geez)
Joe is bothered that I said he isn't allowed to get (another) TV now, a bed is much more important .. and I really want a dining room table & chairs for the office, so the TV is out .. poor Joe.
Big update for my life, is that since we now have a car .. I can get a job! The job with the CDC (Child Development Center) is pretty much mine because they need SO much help right now. Which isn't surprising since there are so many kids here! I really am hoping for the best with this, but I'll be honest I would much rather have an office job!
So it's Sunday night and Joe has duty tonight. I've been bored and keeping busy at the same time. I've been 'working' on a photo book of our trip to Ireland which is alot of fun, remembering everything about that trip is great! I just wish I had taken more pictures. So far I love shutterfly, i can't wait to show Joe the book online :) I hope to do this for all our trips!!!
