Mother's Day 2010

Mother's Day was fun this year! This is my first unofficial mother's day, and it was great. Luke got up early and made me Belgian waffles for breakfast-my favorite-- and then presented me with a new pair of sun glasses for our new car! It was cute--still getting rid of the Trans Am was the best mother's day present he could give me! I got sustained yesterday as primary president as well, and got set apart with my new presidency. We are all very excited to serve and have some great ideas of things we can work on. After getting set apart we went to Luke's aunt & uncle's house for our family party. We blew up some pictures from our wedding for Luke's mom and got them framed, and she loved them. His parents bought a picture of Mary with baby Jesus for me to hang in the baby's room when he comes-very cute! We also got to show off our new car to the family--Luke stayed outside most of the time showing it off or talking about it--he is so excited I love it! After leaving we called my mom to wish her a happy mother's day and find out about her call with Leslie which she enjoyed very much--we wished we could have been on that call as well, but we are hoping for Christmas to be there. All in all it was a great day, and I hope all the other mother's out there had a great day as well!

Bye Bye Birdie!

We have had an exciting weekend. We were finally given a decent offer on the Trans Am, and are free of that car! We are now the proud owners of a 2006 Honda Element EX! Hey, it may be ugly, but it will get us there! LOL-- we love it! It rides nice, has plenty of room, and will be great for the baby. It even has a sunroof in the back! We could take this car and camp in it if we wanted--the seats fold up in 21 different positions, or can be completely removed! We drove a hard bargain, but finally got the guys to work with us and help us get in a better financial position. So Hallelujah and farewell to the bird. Luke will miss you occasionally while I will celebrate getting him out of his muscle car phase. Just for the record-- I was not the mean wife who made him get rid of it--he came to me with the suggestion of going to the element, and I was all for it!
