Proud New Owner

Well, I decided a while ago that it has come time to upgrade my car status. So, I've been searching around for quite a few weeks, deciding what I like, etc. Yesterday, I signed my life away, I mean I bought a car. :) (Okay, it really wasn't quite that bad.) Here it is!

I didn't ever think I would like a white car, but this one called out to me. :) It's proven to be really nice so far. It's a 2006, so a little bit used, but still really nice. Which also means I'm selling my blue mazda, so if anyone is aware of anyone looking for a not very expensive car (for kids going to school, teenagers, etc), let me know!

One of Life's Great Moments

When you wake up in the morning

and you just want to cry because morning shouldn't be here yet.

Family Campout

Well, Rowley Family Weekend came and went last weekend. It was a lot of fun because the whole family went down to Palisades to go camping for a few days. I didn't get lots of pictures, but enough to share some of the fun.

But first, it was also my oldest brother's birthday. So on Thursday we all surprised Greg at Tucano's so we could celebrate the big 40! Woo hoo. Of course he had to jam a little to celebrate.

Then we all met down at Palisades, set up the tents and had a good time!

Some new additions to life

Well, strange as it seems to be, I'm moving out of my current apartment and into another place. I've been in this complex for 3 years now, the longest I've ever been in a place since I left home actually. So it really has been my "home", and it's a little hard to leave, as much as I know it's time to move to something new.

In a seeming next step in growing up, I'm moving into an unfurnished apartment. Rather than getting used furniture that has had who knows what on it, I decided to just spend some money and get some good stuff that will last me for a while. So, I purchased a new living room set and a kitchen table and chairs. Thankfully my parents had furniture for the bedroom. It's a new place and a new adventure to come. So here are some pictures of my new fun stuff!

Here's the table. Thanks Dad and Darrell for putting it together!
