My new car!

Chris and I spent two weeks trying to buy a new car, we first were going to buy used, then decided to look at new, then went back to trying to find a used, then decided it was really only a couple of thousand more to buy new, so then we had it narrowed down to two cars and spent several days trying to decide which one. He told me I had to pick because he wants me driving the newer one since I drive farther to work now, so I test drove both cars back to back and decided I liked the Corolla best. But I wanted a green one, so the dealership gave me a loaner car, a RAV4, while they tried to find a green one. Apparently green is not a color they make a lot of, so the guy finally asked if I would be okay with another color, so I said blue would be fine. It took him another day to find a blue one, apparently I just like rare colors. I finally got to pick it up this past Thursday and I've been having so much fun driving it! It's an 09 and I got it with 20 miles on it! I drive about 50 miles a day, and that's if I only go straight to and from work, so unfortunately I'm racking up miles pretty quickly, but I'm very happy with it and hope to have it a long time! Isn't it so pretty?!?!

My very own pet hospital!

Ever since moving back to Maryland I have helped take care of the pets on our family farm, it was a lot easier when I lived there, but even now we watch the dog when nobody else is there and check on the cats. Last week I noticed the dog and one of the cats seriously limping. Well, nobody else was around this week, so I got to spend two mornings at the vet, one with the dog, one with the cat. They both hurt the same paw and have to be kept inside, given antibiotics, the dog has a spray for his paw and the cat has a cream, and they both have to be taken back to the vet in a week for checkups. Unfortunately they both love being outside and obviously don't like being cooped up. Good thing I think they're so cute!
