New and exciting!

I have so much to post about from the weekend that just passed that my head is spinning.... since I can't quite figure out where to begin, I'm going to post about something else entirely- my new car! We finally decided to just take the plunge and buy the car I loved first.

Clearly, I was the weak link here because I REALLY wanted this car. So, Russ negotiated, and did a darn good job of it too. He got more for my little red Jetta than I would have thought possible. I didn't realize we'd actually be driving off the lot with the car that very same day. I was actually convinced we'd have to wait awhile, but they had the exact car I wanted.....so I spent a few minutes frantically emptying what little was left in my car and drove off in this- my official, grown-up, mommy mobile:
