CAR!!

So my pathfinder didn't start today when I went to get my nails done. It started fine when I left the house, but then when I went to leave no go. Luckily for me, a girl I work went walking by an gave me a jump. I went to Lithia and had them look at it. We thought maybe it was the starter or the battery. Nope. Nothing was wrong that they could see. Alright. Why the lack of start? It was bothering me. Shawn had thrown out the idea of me getting a Rav-4. For those of you who don't have car model knowledge it's the smaller suv by Toyota. Well... I am know the proud owner of a cute black Rav-4. Woo hoo!! The payments are a little more, but worth it. My old car was a 1998. This is a 2007!! That's a lot in Nissan terms. It's so pretty. I can't wait for you all to see. It's a perfect car for me. And this is my very first new car!!

I didn't fall of the face of the earth.

It's finally starting to slow down a bit. It's been crazy with opening a new store right before my b-day. Then the day after thanksgiving was crazy, but better than the Nave. Ugh.

Christmas came and went. Down with the lights and tree. Our house was really pretty with lights. I wish it wasn't so white trash to have lights up year round. I love christmas lights.

January found us at Odell Lake for the weekend with my parents. We brought Sadie with us. She had fun, but doesn't like the cold much. She borrowed Roxy's (my parents dog) fleece. She looked really cute. It was really nice to get away from Eugene.

Valentine's day- check. Shawn & I celebrated our first married valentine's on monday the 12th instead. We both worked on the 14th. I actually closed. I'm not bitter at all about that.

Our house is coming along thanks to the help of Shawn's parents. They have done so much work. My bathroom is done. An amazing darkness I never thought I'd see light to. It's really pretty. It looks like a magazine. Everything has been painted except the guest room, master bath and the crappy apt.

Our puppy isn't so much a puppy anymore. She's 7 months. She's not as big as we were anticipating. Her head is at my knee. She's starting to fill out. Derby is also realizing that she's not going anywhere. He will play with her outside. On his terms. It's pretty funny.

I can't believe our one year anniversary is around the corner. How did that go so fast? I think it's funny that everyone says your first year is so hard. Mine was eventful, but not difficult as far as the marriage is concerned. That was the safety net. I knew I had Shawn in my life to fall back on. He will always be there to catch me. I'm so blessed to have him. He means everything to me. And sure we may act like an old married couple, we are truly in love.

I hope you've enjoyed this one, because who knows when another is going to be done. ;-)
