Finally a New Post!



Well, things got pretty busy as we started getting ready to leave CA to move back to Rexburg, and we just kind of forgot about our blog.  So let us catch you up :)

We took a trip to Disney Land in early December.  As soon as we got off the freeway about to turn into the "Happiest Place on Earth" we got stopped at a red light.  Then all of a sudden for a reason still unknown to us, the truck in front of us started reversing.  We honked and honked and honked, but it didn't help.  He backed right into us.  The damage didn't seem that bad, but because we had to leave out car there, and they weren't going to have the work done by the time we left for Idaho, they totaled it.  So the first and only car I had is gone.  
We feel it kind of turned into a blessing.  The car was getting old, and there were some repairs that we were going to have to make soon.  And it was so small, and not the best car for the snow, which we will probably be living in for the next 6 years or so. 
So we set out to find a new car within a week or two so we could get to school in Idaho.  We found a 2005 blue Jeep Liberty.  We got a great deal on it, and love it!  It's been nice having a 4x4 up here in the snow!!  
Well, here are some pics of our trip . . .
Here's our car after the accident
 
and the truck that hit us . . . 
And we finally made it to Disney Land, after hours of dealing with insurance stuff, and the tow yard, and renting a car, etc.  But somehow we forgot to take pictures during the day, oh well . . .

I bet that Jeep is nice in the snow! The civic, not so much.
