Katie’s 2008 Jetta has been due for it’s big 30K service for a little while now and we wanted to wait until we got her up to the bay area to get the work done. On Friday, I had to run to the office really quick and Katie came with. Not too much excitement but on our way back to the apartment, I remember that her car needed service and the VW dealership was on the way home. We swung on in, made the appointment for the very next day at 9:30a and proceeded to peruse the lot. Now, we love to fantasy shop… we know good and well that we have no intention of buying a car, right? Yea, that’s what we thought!
So we met up with a salesman, Mark, who reminded us of our pal Joe back in SoCal. We liked him immediately. We first had our eyes set on a used 2008 Toureg, but it turned out to be WAY too expensive for our taste. We wanted to look at other options and started to make our way down towards the Routan’s (VW’s mini van) and Katie started to lose it! She kept squeezing my hand and shaking her head… but I’m not getting it. I was warm on the idea, she wasn’t, so we moved on. Maybe after the second kid is born we’ll explore the mini van option, but until then, we’ll stick with the SUV range!

Last Wednesday was my 28th birthday…sad but true. Its amazing how close 30 is approaching, but oh well…can’t do much about it. The day started out good Josh had left me a message on my chalk board wishing me a happy birthday with a drawing of a little cake with candles on it….aww so cute! Then that night he called me saying “I found the perfect gift…will you get mad at me for spending money on you?”. To which I answered “of course not” (what girl would say yes?). So, about an hour later he picked me up to take me out for a birthday dinner. In the car he was so excited and gave me my birthday present as soon as I sat down. It was a bag from Bath and Bodyworks with a candle, crazy nice lotion in my favorite scent and a back massager. It was perfect…all my favorite scents and everything. That being said I was a little confused because of the phone call asking for expensive gift permission. When we got the the restraunt (Macaroni Grill one of our favorites)…he asked me to hand him his bluetooth out of the glove box…when I opened it there was a black box from a jewelry store in it. I was so excited!!!!!!!!!!! I opened it up and inside was a diamond journey necklace. It is soooooo amazing…He couldn’t have picked out a more perfect gift. I adore it. We had a lovely dinner and then home where Josh made me a cake with a big 28 on the top. All in all it was a perfect birthday.
The next day as part of my birthday present Josh took thursday off and we went to DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!! We got our season passes and started out in the park. Josh hadn’t been there in over ten years so it was like going with somebody who had never been. Later in the day Jacob and Tak joined us and we ran the park! We had an AMAZING time. We even got neck straps for our passes and are going to start collecting a new pin for every visit. My first pin is one that says “my boyfriend is a pirate”…which is true…he is the only person I know who knows all the words to the Pirates song. He also bought me a medallion from the pirates ride…we are going to have it engraved with our names and the date…something to remember the day forever. I’m excited to go back after the move. We had the best time!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night we had a great night…Josh’s brother Joel came over and had dinner and hung out with us. We had a great time talking and joking and playing the Wii of course. Joel is a lot of fun and the two of them together is hilarious!!!!!! Hopefully he will move back soon so we can hang out more.
Today…I bought a sweet little girl named Gretta…she is my new Jetta. I had been hemming and hawing over getting her for a long time and had been trying to sell my car…and today was the day. We went the dealership and got good deals all around and tonight we drove home in her. She is graphite blue and oh so pretty. She is my first car purchase and I’m so stoke about it! Who wants a ride?
Now that we have had a week of fun we have to buckle down as Josh moves into our new apartment in two weeks and I move in two weeks later. So we have a lot to do.
Hola Folks,
Today was quite the day for 
Josh and me. First we started with a lovely pancake breakfast…most of you probably don’t know this but almost every weekend Josh makes me pancakes for breakfast. He has a special pancake skill that makes them taste like restaurant pancakes…not the brick like ones from home. Super delicious!!!!!!!
After breakfast we decided to take on the task getting a new a mattress, mainly due to the fact that my mattress has a very large divet in the middle and when we sleep we end up rolling in on each other. Not so much fun. So we went and got this scan thing done at the Sit n Sleep. Its kinda weird. You go in and lay on this mattress thing they have that scans your body and tells you what sort of mattress you need…its pretty rad really because it allows you to not have to lay on five thousand mattresses to find what you need. We tried out like ten and then found “the one” and bought it….WOO HOO!!!! But here’s the thing…in the purchasing of a new mattress we decided to get the California King. Thing thing is HUGE!! Its going to be soooooooooooooo nice! SO…the upgrade in size of the bed means NEW BEDDING!!!! Which leads us to our next adventure of the day……. Read more »
