movin' on up

If you couldn't tell by the last post, things have been a little stressful. Didn't have the best day yesterday. Today... we are movin' on up. I got to pick up my new Mazda3 hatchback. It's adorable. Fun to drive. Has automatic windows and locks!! Keyless entry!!! It's still a bit like a dream. While I was near Salt Lake I got to see my brother, Jake. Forget about any stresses or what-have-yous. We had a blast. We just went the Dodo Bird restaurant near his house and shared a couple of appetizers and drinks. I was so excited to just sit and talk with him that I was laughing like I was drunk before I had even a sip of wine. We talked over each other and failed to finish one entire topic of conversation. It was absolutely lovely. And to top this lovely day, Joe surprised me with this laptop, that you can't see but I am looking at and typing on right now. It's my graduation gift from Jackie (my mother-in-law), my grandparents, and Aunt Melisa and Uncle Dennis. UNBELIEVABLE DAY.
