We have been having lots of small issues with the car that keep adding up. It got an oil leak and we took it to the mechanic who said the crankshaft cracked and even after being fixed, he wouldn’t recommend taking it out of the state. So, after a tedious process, we finally said goodbye to the Honda. It served us well and we will miss it. There are lots of good memories in that car.

Honda – September 2008-June 2014

So, since we had to say good-bye to the Honda and we said good-bye to the Jeep in Texas, that means we needed to get another vehicle. After much fussing and looking, we finally decided on one and we are now the proud owners of a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. So far we love almost everything about it! We love the stow-n-go seating, the space, the fact it is a newer car and that we can easily fit our stuff in it without playing too much tetris. The only thing we aren’t a huge fan of is the gas mileage. It isn’t horrible, but it isn’t the 30-35 mpg we were getting with the car.

Neighbors

One thing Darrell and I are always unsure about when we move is the neighbors. We like to hang out with our neighbors, spend time outside, and just generally be neighborly. At this house, we lucked out. We have some awesome neighbors who are a lot like us and they have an 8 year old daughter. When we first moved in, they brought us over a plate of cookies and a bottle of wine. What’s not to like about that! 🙂 Anyways, they have a fire pit in their backyard, so we go over when they light it up and hang out. Their daughter comes over and always wants to play with Edward. So far, we are absolutely loving it here! Oh.. and they have a canoe and have invited Darrell out a couple times. He loves that!

Steve & Kaori

Our good friend Steve from Humboldt came to visit in June. He brought along his girlfriend and they wandered the Seattle sights. We hung out with them on Saturday night and then headed to the zoo on Sunday. We miss having Steve around.

Father’s Day

We had a very low-key father’s day. Darrell just wanted to stay home and get some stuff done.

Neglected

I know that I haven’t updated in over 2 months. We have been really busy here. After the last post, Darrell went to Chicago for a business conference. Then when he got back, we found a new place, so the first half of the month of May we were packing and moving. Then we went down to California for a wedding. Came home and Lorna came to visit. We had our anniversary, Pixels birthday, and Edwards birthday. Then Darrell left for Nashville for another business conference, Lorna left and then Edward came down with a fever.

Now that Darrell is back, Edward is feeling better, maybe I will get a chance to do another big update. Once Edward is in bed, hopefully I will have the energy to do something other than sit on the couch watching movies and then going to bed. i am hoping to get it done before the end of the month.

PS. I am backdating the posts, so go ahead and scroll back to April. 🙂
