Need a Car?

I'm selling my 1989 Toyota Camry. 185k miles. This is a good car, I loved it while I had it.

Is it in perfect condition? No, but it is a good car and would be perfect for someone who needs a car to get from A to B with good gas mileage (mid to high 20's mpg in town, higher on the freeway).

The car runs well but the front CV axles both need to be replaced before it will pass inspections. (It will cost you around $350.) The right tail light also needs to be fixed. My hubby accidentally backed into someone's hitch so it bent the metal casing and knocked the light out. The light is still intact except for one small sliver but just needs to be put back on and have a new bulb installed and it's fine. The only other issue is that the trunk doesn't stay open on it's own. It opens and closes fine, just has to be held up.

Everything else in the car is in good working order. Some dings on the body but that's expected with a 20 year old car. Even as is, the KBB value is $1065. It needs those things fixed so I hope my price is pretty reasonable. Asking $500 OBO, and at this point, I'll consider any offer you bring.

Features:

Automatic Transmission

Power Steering

Power Windows & Locks

Air Conditioning

Tilt Steering

Cruise Control

AM/FM radio. It actually has an Eclipse MP3/CD player but it won't play cd's anymore. Probably fixable too, I just never cared too much when it stopped working.

Let me know if you have any questions or are interested. Thanks!!

Just to Make You All Aware...

Only one month left til we leave for...

CANCUN!!!!!!!

ANOTHER New Swim Suit!

I couldn't resist! I convinced myself that I NEEDED another suit since we're going to Cancun in November so I went into Layers Clothing again and found a suit I really liked. I didn't buy it at first because the pattern is exactly the same as my other one and they didn't have the right size for me. The next day it was all I could think about so I went back in and they had a different size that I didn't think would fit but it did so VOILA! Suit #2.

And I really do think I'm cuter than this model! ;)

New Swim Suit!

Hello! Wow, two months since I've posted on this blog, eh? Nice.

Quick update: I got my first legitimate birdie in golf on June 13 on hole 13 at Glenmore. It was so awesome!!! I drove onto the green (it was a short par 3) and then made like a 30 foot put for the birdie! I was SO EXCITED!!! I've never had a birdie before, especially without cheating. ;)



Also important: I got a new swim suit!!! I love it! I got it at Layers Clothing thanks in part to Whitney, who I got together with at Cold Stone yesterday. She told me they had some cute suits and that they were all 20% off. So, I checked them out online and then went in and got this beauty. And yes, I look pretty much as hot in it as this model does. LOL

Our New Niece!

Congratulations Natalie and Chandler!

Mustache May 2008

It's that time of year again. That's right folks, it's Mustache May! Here's Adam's 'stache this year:

Earthquake

This morning at about 7:16 a.m. there was an earthquake in Wells, Nevada that had a magnitude of 6.0. I didn't know about it until I was driving to work at 7:30 and heard the news on the radio. They were saying people in my area felt it but I thought to myself, "Hmm...I didn't feel it."

Well once I was at work, I called my dental insurance company to check our benefits (Adam is getting a root canal today, poor guy) and the lady there asked me if I felt it. I said no but she said they felt it at her office, which is not too far away from where I live.

The more I thought about it though, the more I think I really did feel it. I nurse Jayci every morning at 7:00 a.m. before I leave for work and this morning while I was nursing her and sitting in the rocking chair I felt some weird movements. I thought at first that it was just Jayci's feet kicking, but then I thought to myself that her feet kicking wouldn't be rocking my whole chair. It was like it was being rocked or shaken by someone. I also thought it felt a lot like it did in November when there were construction workers in our yard digging manholes for the development that is going in behind our house. They had a huge trackhoe in our yard right next to the house and it would shake the whole house sometimes. It was a weird feeling, but it didn't last for very long and I didn't think much more about it...until that conversation with the lady at the dental insurance company.

So, you might think I'm crazy, but I really do think I felt the earthquake. Weird, huh?

A Scary Drive

We went to Idaho this past weekend to visit my family. We hadn't been there since Jayci was born and I have to go back to work next week so we figured this would be an ok time.

We meant to leave here by 4:00 but we really didn't get on the road til like 5:00...surprise surprise. The traffic northbound on I-15 was out of contol...it took us an hour and a half to get to Bountiful. Yikes.

It was snowing a little but nothing bad. We stopped in Brigham City to get some food and fuel. Jayci was doing so well, she slept the whole time in the pickup. (We borrowed Dan's Dodge Ram). We had driven in four wheel drive the entire time but had taken it off when we were in Brigham City. We forgot to put it back in and Adam thought he had to be stopped to put it in so we just kept going.

We had just crossed the over the Utah/Idaho border and all of a sudden we hit a patch of black ice and before we knew it we were spinning out of control. It was the scariest thing I've ever experienced. The back end of the pickup just came out from behind us and there was no correcting it. Adam did really well by not over correcting or doing anything to make it worse. All we could see was snow flying all around and we were completely out of control. I thought for sure we were going to roll, but we came to a stop in the median after what seemed like forever. I was honestly more scared than I have ever been, and not for my own life, but for Jayci. When we stopped I checked her and she was sound asleep as though nothing had even happened. I was so relieved!

We had to call a tow truck to get out because we were so far in the middle and the snow was deep. Also, it was just a recipe for disaster because we were going too fast for those conditions (even though we were under the speed limit), we weren't in 4WD, we didn't have anything in the bed of the truck to weigh it down, and the tires on the truck were completely unsafe because they're totally bald.

I am so thankful that Heavenly Father watched over us. Adam and I both have no doubt in our minds that He protected us. It would have been so easy for us to roll that truck if any single thing had gone any other way. We're so blessed to be ok and that nothing worse happened.
