We won’t be homeless or riding the bus
We accomplished 2 big things today and it feels good to know they are taken care of now. First, the lease on my car was up so we turned it in and leased a new one. They were running a nice lease special so we got something a little bigger since we will soon be adding a second car seat to the back seat. I made Steve promise he would never make me drive a mini-van so we got a cross over – part car, part mini-van, part SUV. It gets decent gas mileage and will be big enough to have 2 car seats and luggage when we head north to visit home. My new Nissan Rogue in sunset red:
Sigh…just 3 short years ago I was driving a red convertible.
The second thing we did was finally find a house we could both agree to rent. We’ve looked at 8 houses. Steve hated something about all of them. I could have lived with any of them because I figure we aren’t buying it, just borrowing. Today, we found one that should be great for our family. It even has a fenced in back yard for the dog – bonus! And the neighborhood has sidewalks which is something we both love for evening walks with Sabrina. So in just over a month, we will be calling this place home:
Anyone want to come and pack boxes? Hehe.
congrats on the house. nice car. and i’d help you pack if i weren’t 3,000 miles away. now see, isn’t it good you didn’t finish unpacking? 🙂
Congrats on both accounts.
I think Ruby was channeling Sabrina as we also had a major meltdown yesterday. Oh well.

Wonderful news Michelle!! I am so excited about the house. I bet you all can’t wait to get into that extra space! Love the car too!
Okay I meant to say I am so excited for YOU about the house.
Takin’ care of business!!!!
Congrats on the new car/van/suv AND the borrowed house. Way to go!!!!
can you even believe it? Im excited for you as sometimes it’s nice to just have life SETTLE DOWN.
now, are we gonna bestow a nickname on you with takes into account sunset red?
My car is GUNMETAL (the color name I mean).
not a badass car but I do feel like a toughgurl with the name.

great car, cute house. i’m in need of a new car soon, and i am looking at a cross over too. no mini van for us either, the horror!
I bought a Rogue about a month ago and I LOVE it – hope you enjoy yours too. And the house is so perfect looking. I dream of houses with fenced in backyards and sidewalks…well, when I’m not busy dreaming about completely insane pregnancy dreams.
Beautiful house and car! It feels good to get big things accomplished doesn’t it?
Congrats on the MAJOR accomplishments! I’m digging the car, especially in red.
And no, you are on your own with that packing!
I love both the car and the house.
Congratulations!!!
Gail
I love the car. I’m right there with you on the packing thing. We are moving this Friday and it seems that no matter how much I pack I don’t make a dent in the amount of junk remaining to be packed!
I posted my belly shot and as you can see I am way bigger. You look good girl.
congrats on both and happy easter!
Great news! THe house looks nice!
Whoa. Those are two big things! All in the same day too! That’s awesome. Congrats!
Wow! What a big day! I like a family who is decisive and goes for what they need and just signs on the bottom line! Congrats! Two HUGE things to cross off that list!
And, I meant to comment the other day about the pear blossoms on the trees… you are about 2 weeks ahead of us usually on the weather front… looking forward to seeing everything green up for spring! We had more snow today… insane!!
Hope you had a great “Chocolate” Day! Sabrina is adorable in her bunny ears!
Congrats on both big decisions! I hope the packing/moving goes well. guess you’ll be getting out of the heavy lifting this time around. 🙂
I never thought I would have a mini van but I love it. It is so convenient to have the sliding doors that open at the touch of a button, but I do like the look of that new car of yours!
Cute house! Nosy me wants to know where you’ll be living (privately, of course).
Your stalker friend,
