My Splurge

Weekends around here have changed a little bit. Instead of spending all weekend inside doing paperwork, laundry, cleaning, or getting ready for the next week, I am now spending a little more time outside. This super fun reason is why!!!!


A few months ago, I had a moment where I was literally scrubbing a toilet when Jeff (out on his boat with Nicholas) called to see how things were going with "us girls." I found myself frustrated

that he was on the boat, enjoying the sunshine, with Nicholas while I (we) was stuck inside. I wasn't mad that he was outside doing something fun....I was mad that I wasn't.
So started the search for my "something fun!" Years ago, I owned a Jeep Wrangler but it isn't the most practical car when three children are small. Now that Gabby is the only one in a booster seat, the urge was coming back...full throttle!!! After searching Craig's list and coming up either empty handed or skeptical, we drove to a dealership in Tracy one night just to see what was on the lot. That's when we found her....
WE DROVE HER HOME THAT NIGHT :-)
We have all been having fun with her ever since! Even small trips to the grocery store are a little more exciting!
So, when you can't find us on the weekends, we'll be out, the top down, hats on our heads, on a joyride. The toilets can wait :-)
