His new toy!

Aaron has been dreaming of this car for years. When we moved to the big city, he started looking around. You know, more car lots, more possibilities....of course now there is e-bay motors and craigslist. I think Aaron's computer could find those sites on it's own after the past 2 years of looking....not kidding.He found this car on craigslist from a dealer and bought it by himself. Yes folks, that means that he bought it with OUT asking his dear and sweet wife (that would be me, if you were wondering...) He met us at church Wednesday night and I didn't see him until after class. All of his buddies kept looking at me and now I know why. They were waiting to see if I would explode at my husband for buying a car without asking. Nope. Okay, maybe a little bit because I would have wanted to see his face when he first saw the car in person for the first time, but no explosion. :)

He loves this car....He has been dreaming of this car...and even more...His bonus this year paid for this car, so who am I to take that away from the man I love?? He works hard at what he does and I think it is only fitting that his bonus pays for his new to him (it's used) car. He is so stinkin' happy and so am I!!


Now I just have to learn how to drive it and by that I mean it has some fancy race car system in it that is so cool and weird all at the same time!!

Finally....a post!!


I've have been harassed to the point where I guess I actually do need to put up a new post or just quit blogging all together....don't worry, I won't quit! Things have been super busy around here with both girls playing softball (in different towns-not recommended), Aaron playing softball and basketball and then I still have the PTA and we all have lots of stuff with church. Love it all, just super busy....all the time! But, that is life and we wouldn't change a thing....

HMMMM....what is new? Okay, I'll post the Easter pics, but even newer is that Aaron went out and bought his dream car. Did I mention that he didn't even tell me??? I knew he would get it (the car, that is) because it was a super deal. We sold the 4-Runner to one of our favorite girls from church, gonna miss that old car. We bought it when we first got married and it's been all the (many) places that we have been and helped make many memories. I know Bethany will love it and I will love that she gets to take it to HU and make her own memories!

Easter Sunday at Nana and Papa's house is big tradition in the James Family. The kids all got WAY too much candy and lots of toys. They loved their new movies, too!

We were in Searcy, so we had to see one of our favorite Harding Students, Collin!! He did great in Spring Sing and we went to see one of their Good News Singers Concerts on campus.
We dyed eggs with Aunt Jess at Nana's house...notice the gloves...we did not want blue hands for Easter Sunday!
