I've always felt a bit -- behind in life. Taking the best part of a decade to finish your bachelor's degree will do that I suppose. And Doug? Damn! This guy...
I can't even...
Everything he's done for me. Everything he still does for me. Everything he's postponed, sacrificed, suffered, and endured. This guy has earned a little luxury.
Form of, WATER!!
(If you get that joke, I love you.)
In classic Doug and Misty fashion, we worked out a week in Florida on the cheap. Specifically, we spent six nights camping on St. George Island.
Home sweet campsite
Florida was completely awesome, but this post isn't about that. See, a crazy thing happened, like, the minute we got home. Well, I guess not completely crazy. We were planning to buy a car this summer. We weren't planning to buy a car, today.
Mostly, we never dreamed we'd find...
Why, that's a grown-up car!
Meet our (cough) Mercedez-Benz E320. Doug hasn't quit grinning since we left the showroom. He's talked about wanting a Benz for about as long as I can remember. I'm so tickled for him.
(Well, I'm a little tickled for me too. World championship haggling trophy? You bet.)
Spare a thought for our '96 Chevy Beretta, which has served us admirably for nearly 10 years. Tomorrow it will go on to the great salvage yard in the sky, which is to say, the chop shop down the block. *Tear*
P.S. I promise this whole summer of blogging won't be so, "Wooo! Check us out!" Just, probably the next couple of weeks. Then it's back to plain old cooking.
Yay for Doug's pimp ride! That's badass and it must feel so damn good. Please tell that guy how proud I am of his hard work!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope someday y'all have cause to be as happy as I to be dad to a daughter who brought me the most wonderful son in whom I am most pleased!
