New Car

Last weekend we bought a car! It is a 1998 Toyota Corolla. It's in pretty good shape but it is the "value" model. Translation...no features. Thankfully the only feature it has is A/C, a definite must in the South. Even though it doesn't have all the bells and whistles, it runs well, should last us as long as we stay here, and might even be worth a couple dollars when we are ready to sell it. It is so nice to have two cars again. We were starting to stress a little bit about Heather having to wait 30 minutes after work on the side of a very busy road for a bus that would take over an hour to get her home. Thankfully we can rest easy knowing that we both have reliable transportation again!




Check out our new wheels!


Today we took Draco to a dog park near our apartment. He had lots of fun being off leash and being able to run around a bit. There were some really nice dogs there and even another corgi. We felt pretty bad for Draco when he started getting humped by a soaking wet bulldog , so we made sure to give him a treat when we got home! Sorry Draco!

Today we also went to K&S World Market, an ethnic grocery store. It was so fun to see all the different and yummy looking food. We scored some yakisoba noodles, pot stickers and curry sauce. We also checked out the Costco and finally bought some Tillamook cheese! They don't carry it in the regular grocery stores here.



This weekend we also plan to venture to a Jazz Festival and spend some time by the pool...oh yeah and not go to work or school on Monday! We miss you all and hope you have a fantastic holiday weekend!
