Good-Bye Saab




I guess all things must come to an end. The other day a man ran a red light and totalled Derek's precious Saab. He is doing fine and only hit his head on the driver side window. He hasn't had a complaint yet. But, our car is completely wrecked. And while the car wasn't anything glorious to me, I now realize the error of my ways. We got a settlement on our car for much more than we paid, which would seem good in theory, and I guess it is. But, now I realize how great the Saab was!! It had 30k less miles than cars its age, ran perfect and we hadn't put any money into it. Plus, Derek really loved that it was convertible, which to me was just funny because it wasn't that cool of a car. We can not replace what we had for even the higher amount we got on the car. Dang it. Luckily, we are borrowing a family extra until we decide how to replace it. Just add it to the list. Oh well, at least Derek is completely fine - which is most important.

family pictures

Oh so long ago at the end of October we had our family pictures taken before my oh-so-talented sister-in-law galavanted off to Texas. She was so gracious to send all of our family pictures she took, but alas when I finally remembered to post them I can NOT find the cd. Hopefully this will be remedied soon but for now I've updated the ones off of her blog. She does great work and if you are in San Antonio check her out! redbucketphoto.blogspot.com. When they do surface - I promise to show off how big my little ones are getting.
