John's new car

After realizing last week that John's car was going downhill quicker than we originally thought, we went out car shopping yesterday and traded it in and wound up with a great deal on a new car instead! 2009 Ford Focus. Kinda hard to tell from the picture because I took it with my phone, but the color is a really pretty ice blue. And as John would tell you (and I agree) the best feature by far is the SYNC system.

...it's just too bad I don't get to be the one driving it every day...

Oh - and because of the sync we of course had to update the playlists on our mp3 players. One of John's friends recommended legalsounds.com to us and if you're looking to buy music I would highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. It's only 9 cents per song and when we registered on there and put a little money in our account, we ended up getting credits for 50 free songs on top of that.

For Aunt Nancy

You definitely win for the most dedicated blog checker, seeing as how we didn't have anything up since August! But yes, this is the house we're in contract on - set for closing in early April. It's in Galloway which is just next door to Grove City. 3 BR 1.5 bath with a finished basement and privacy fenced backyard, which was the #1 priority for the dogs! I think they will be much happier with us when they have room to run around. Oh, and a 2 car garage which I was really wishing for the past few months with those subzero weeks...

Hopefully in a month-ish you might be seeing some more pictures of the inside. In the meantime, here's one from the dinner and I'll see about maybe getting some more up soon.

The house

Probably pretty self explanatory, but top to bottom: deck, basement, middle sized br, master br, backyard, kitchen, family room, back and front.
