This past weekend

So this past weekend Ricky and Ashley came over to our neck of the woods. I was so excited... I hadn't seen them since Halloween! I missed them both so much. They got a big ole hug from me when we parted for the night! We decided to go bowling on Saturday night, which was so much fun! Everyone got together around 9 and we bowled for 2 hours, and did I mention we drank too! It is always fun when you mix alcohol and bowling! Here are some pictures from the night! I must mention that most of the pictures were taken by Slim!

Ricky and Ashley are coming up for his birthday, which happens to land on Easter weekend, so Ricky thought it might be fun for all of us again to go bar hopping in River Falls. I am super excited! This was such a fun night!

New Car

I got a new car!


This past Saturday Brad and I went car shopping. It was planned that it would be a car shopping trip to just get prices on the vehicles that I liked and to see what we would get for a trade in on my '04 Dodge Neon. We did shopping around on the Internet at places in the cities, Hudson, and Menominee. Most places we around the same price range. So we set off to actually go look at the cars and do some test driving.


Well the first place the we went to turned out to be a good deal ( at least in my eyes). I got to test drive the Dodge Nitro...and boy did I love it. It wasn't to big and I felt very comfortable in it. Then the hassling came....We were curious as to what kind of deal we could get. So they did their thing with figuring out the interest rate and what kind of monthly payments they could offer us with a down payment and the trade-in. First they offered us only $2600 for a trade in because they claim they would get much for it because the stopped making neon's in 2005. Whatever. We said the we would have to think about, and left to go talk about it, crunch our own number again to make sure we could afford everything comfortably without altering our lifestyle to much. When we went back to the dealership the manager Jason came to us and said we can offer our $3200 for your trade-in...Now that is more like it. It doesn't sound like a big difference, but it is. We did our research on what we should expect for a trade-in.


Anyways....I GOT A NEW CAR! We did end up purchasing an extended warranty for four more years, bumper to bumper on the vehicle! And to up grade to a 2007 only is costing us $12 extra every six months on insurance.


This is my new baby and I love it! I haven't picked out a name for her yet though, but I will. She is a 2007 Dodge Nitro with only 27000 miles on her! She is red! Isn't she marvelous!

I need Help

I know that I am not the most diligent about keeping my blog updated. I don't have the Internet and that is the main reason why I don't blog as much as I should. The second reason is, I never know what to blog about. It always seems like everyone else has so much going on in their lives.

So...if you guys give me some ideas on what to blog about. Any topic, doesn't matter what. I will blog about. I will give my opinion on the subject and just pretty much randomly talk about it.

I am ready for the challenge my friends..... :)

Here you go Jewells!

Sorry it has been so long. Jewells has been bugging me for weeks to write a new blog!

What is new in my life.........
Well race season starts in a couple of months so Brad is getting REALLY excited for that. He just bought a helmet of ebay. I am getting excited too, I guess! I enjoy going to the races, I just can't let Brad know how much! I like watching, being in the pits with everyone. It is just a good ole time.
My car has been acting funny lately. That is no good. I think Brad fixed most of the problems, thank god! Good thing I have a guy who knows a lot about cars. It still shakes in second gear though. We are going to take it in to get the transmission flushed out. Hopefully that will help, if not then we will probably look for another car because at the end of the year we were going to anyways and we don't want to pay out $2000 for a new transmission for a car we are going to sell anyways. I kind of don't want to get rid of it though. My parents paid for almost of the car. It is special to me. But all good things must come to an end!
Max is finishing up his hockey season. They took 2nd in their last tournament! GO HAWKS!!! I enjoy going to his games so much. He is such a good kid. He is in band and hockey and gets good grades and respects mom and dad and he is only eleven. I am so proud of him. I hope he knows that. I makes want to cry a happy cry when I think of how proud of him I am.

Other than that....nothing else is new with me. Till next time friends!
