Yes. We took the plunge. We bought a new car! This last January, while staying at my friend Melisa's house in Tacoma, the most random thing happened. At 4 am we were awoken by a knock on the neighbor who said her car had rolled down the hill and hit mine. Turns out my car was totalled and two other cars damaged in addition to the neighbors car. The beauty of it all was that there were four cars, but no one was in the cars. What a blessing. It was such a freak sort of accident, I had to just laugh.
Although we had been enjoying the Jetta, particularly because it was paid off, I looked forward to getting something else. After borrowing cars from friends for 2 months, we finally settled on a Toyota RAV 4. I love it. It still has a lot of pep and is definitely practical. The gas mileage is great and we can actually fit 7 seven people in the car-- Junior High munchkins-- but 7 no less. And yes, it is a "family-oriented" car, but don't get your hopes up yet. No plans for a Tony Jr. just yet.
The car has also come in handy for my job at McCrorie's. Taking the carpet boards and other samples to people's homes takes up quite a bit of space. And, I've had no trouble putting miles on the car. The good news is that I've recently accepted a job at our Sequim location (to fill a spot for someone who is moving). It is a smaller, quainter Design Studio, located right in town. I'm looking forward to the change and should be up and running by the end of the month.
And by the way, I chopped my hair off. At least 8 inches. It was time for a change and I love it!
