Cars

So, our car is all fixed now, so I had to give up the 2009 Cadillac dts I was driving for a while. Actually, I gave that up after a few days cause it was 20.00 a day more expensive than the insurance covered, so I opted for a 2009 Camry instead. The place, was awesome! They even touched up old scratches! Though I am glad I didn't have to pay, I was still floored by the repair bill---3991.00! Crazy!

Anyhoo, all is well, and we are looking forward to Yellowstone!

I designate this week Accident week...

So, apparently it is our week for accidents. After a fun day at Sea World with Laura Cody and Max, we got sideswiped on the way home! The dude took off, we chased him down, and got his info...Luckily all is well, and only the Driver's side mirror was broken...no damage elsewhere. That would be enough for me, but I was driving home today and got hit in our other car! I was at a stop on the freeway and the car behind me stopped. However, the car behind him didn't. :( Luckily no one was hurt, and only a few minor dents and dings, which I shouldn't have to pay for. I'm just grateful everyone was okay. Missed Mutual though...oh well.

We bought a new car!

So, after years of running around to many places with one car, taking buses or trains or planes...:).... we finally broke down and bought a new car. After a lot of hemming and hawing, we decided to spend less money and go for a used car, so we drove to our Moss Brothers Toyota in Moreno Valley, and looked at a few, including a horrible one with a plaid interior, we test drove a 2002 Toyota Highlander that we fell in love with! It is beautiful, and after a couple hours of friendly calm haggling (Tiffany stayed quiet), we knocked the price down to a comfortable level, and drove home!


So now our Corolla has a friend...






This is Tiffany the supermodel doing a spread in a major magazine for the car.






And then I found her dancing...

I love my wife! She is beautiful, amazing, and talented. In fact, she even auditioned to sing the National Anthem at Dodger Stadium for Mormon Night! She is so spectacular! I love you Tiffy!

A Month later...

I just did a lesson for the young men young women of our ward on journal writing-I am the Teacher's quorum advisor
-so I thought I should practice what I preach and update our blog.

Mom and Dad Laney came for a visit to see our house. We enjoyed having them here, especially since Dad Laney likes to do our dishes and helped me weed the front and back yards!



We did have a fun trip around Easter time to Mom and Dad Laney's house. We hung out with them, went to the state capitol, Japantown in San Francisco, and an air museum, along with doing other stuff. Here are some pictures.

Catch up

So, the last couple of months I have been horrible at posting! Sorry! I won't try to catch up in detail, but here is some pictures, with more to follow

A picture of Tiffany, just because she is beautiful and loves it when I take random pictures.
Appropriate St Patrick's Day food.
Our cute and lovable and annoyingingly bitey puppy.


We took her and our niece Madison who was visiting for the weekend to the park. I am king of the world...with my royal puppy Mugsy!
Madison's reaction to my silliness...okay not really but it was funny.
Impishly cute



Walking homeA tuckered out little girl...all in all a fun time!

We also went on vacation lately and had my parents visit...I promise pictures of that to come.

Hi everybody!

This is just a little note to say hi and let you know we are still alive. Life moves along for us quite well, with the occasional hiccup, like me missing the last train home the other night but finally finding a very nice co-worker who took a three hour round trip to take me home! There was also Tiffany's lovely four 1/2 hour commute home the other night...mass transit is fun when it works, but sucks when it doesn't.

Other than that, life is good! We love our house, and are currently working on the front lawn that we bought dead so the HOA gets off our backs. We love them. Yes we do. Mugsy Pugsy Pee Poo Pants, which is mostly just Mugsy and occasionally Mugsy Pugsy, is about the same...we love her except when she bites us, especially our toes and faces. We are looking forward to a vacation next month to see my parents, and lookign forward to seeing some of y'all as you make Disneyland trips!

Update...again

So, I have been horrible at updating, so here's a snapshot of our lives...work, home to sleep to get up for work, etcetera. I am still working far away, as jobs are hard to find right now. Makes for rough days sometimes, but I am glad we have our house and are out of our apartment! We have bought a new couch and loveseat, and a washer and dryer, so we are happy!

We had a great time with Tiffany's birthday, and Valentine's day lately, and are still very much in love! Christmas was good too.

Bob even managed to put up some drapes that had been sitting around forever...by himself! Impressive I know.

On a happy note, we have added to our home...with a dog! A cute little sharpei Pug mix named Mugsy, or if you'd like her full name, Mugsy Pugsy pee pee PooPoo Pants(or Bottom, we haven't decided.) The name comes from her puppy like trait of peeing and pooing everywhere but where we want her to. She is a little terror, but we love her! So enjoy the pictures!
