Closing out the month

My brother and his wife are celebrating their 41st birthdays today, and their 10th anniversary. Happy everything to them! :)

When Katy came home from work the other night, she used her feet to write this in the snow ("I heart you" in case you can't make it out). I thought that was sweet.

This has definitely been a year of new. New kid living with us, new school, new major, new outlook. In keeping with that spirit, we got a new phone company for our cell phones. Actually, we have been counting down the months, literally, since AT&T bought out our contract with their takeover of Cingular. We absolutely hate AT&T and danced a little happy dance when we finally switched service. I can now announce that I am no longer a text virgin thanks to my new phone and new unlimited text service. The girls are on cloud nine and thank goodness it is unlimited. In the first hour of opration, Katy had sent 127 messages. Sheesh!

Mandy and Katy all dressed up for dates with their boyfriends. The guys wore jeans. Typical!

Speaking of new, this is what I bought today. We decided that since the van and truck get horrible gas mileage and the car's transmission is going out, it was a good time to get me a commuter car. Driving 100 miles round trip each time to class is not a good place to break down! We earmarked our income tax refund to get me a car, and here it is. Best deal in town, works great, and it's paid for. :) Can't beat paid for. One nice side effect...the extreme envy in Katy's eyes. She's dying to borrow it, which won't happen. Mean mommy!!
